Welcome to Ruyton Girls' School, where purpose, connection, and community are woven into our DNA. It is an incredible privilege to be entrusted with leading a school founded on the legacies of so many generations of fearless women. I feel very proud to stand beside our students, our staff, and their families and move this incredible journey onward.

At the heart of leadership is humility and service. It's about listening, learning, leading together. It is the educator's role to create an environment in which each and every girl feels seen, valued, and supported to be the best version of herself.

While we are proud of our rich history, we are just as committed to shaping the future with courage and conviction. Each student is an integral part of our ongoing story, building a culture that relishes learning, curiosity, and kindness.

Our school is a connected community. Its size enables us to know each of our students well and to establish strong relationships and a sense of belonging. Students here are called upon to take intellectual risks, embrace challenges, and explore their passions through a variety of curricular and co-curricular opportunities.

Guided by the values of Citizenship, Integrity, Character, and Endeavour, we inspire students to contribute meaningfully, act with honesty, show resilience, and pursue personal growth with purpose.

I invite you to be part of our story, to experience the spirit of Ruyton, where every girl is empowered to lead, create, and contribute to a better world. I look forward to walking this path with you, listening, learning, and leading together.

Warm regards,

Kim Bence
