Our School

Lowther Hall has more than 100 years of experience in educating girls. We are a diverse, open-entry school of 900 students from Kindergarten to Year 12.

Our intimate environment on a single campus in the heart of Essendon positions us to know our students and cater for them from their very first day.

We seek to be a school that educates the whole person for the whole of life, helping each girl to develop personal qualities and values that will equip her for a happy and successful adult life.

All of our teachers, support staff and student leaders work towards realising this goal of providing a holistic educational experience for every girl.

At Lowther Hall, we see our role as broader than the provision of a leading-edge curriculum. We pride ourselves on supporting and challenging each student to achieve her best and assisting her to explore a wide range of academic disciplines and co-curricular pursuits.

Our Motto

Chosen when the school was founded in 1920, the School's motto, Non Nobis Solum (not for ourselves alone) encapsulates the balance we hope each girl will find in life, so that she is able to both care for herself and for others too.

Our Anglican Identity

We honour the deep roots of our Anglican identity with a connection to Anglican values, institutions, and individuals. This foundation underpins our school’s open and welcoming embrace of students from all faith backgrounds and positions. As a multi-faith community, we share and celebrate in the many religious traditions of our students and their families, as we work together to instil strong values of inclusivity, diversity and acceptance within our Anglican context.
