Canterbury Girls High School is an inclusive and culturally diverse environment in Sydney's Inner West. This diversity is reflected in the school's population with 57% of students with a language background other than English. The school prides itself on being an inclusive learning environment in which difference is celebrated. The vast majority of students are highly engaged and enjoy attending school each day; retention rates are above the state average, and student behaviour is excellent. The diversity of the student population mandates differentiated curriculum patterns to enable student needs to be comprehensively addressed. Differentiation and extension are ongoing curriculum priorities for all stages. Elective lines for Years 8-12 are determined by student choices, and student voice is a central focus within the school. Student connection to the school is strong and is a testament to the strong home-school partnerships the school enjoys.
