Shelford was established in 1898, and its motto is Quaerite Primo Regnum Dei. The Latin word Quaerite is derived from Quaere meaning to seek, search, investigate or inquire, and it has been the inspiration for the innovative Quaerite Program at Shelford.
The Quaerite Program from Prep to Year 12 is based on Shelford’s core values. It encourages students to discover their strengths and passions, to develop a love of learning and a desire to make a positive contribution to society, to respect people and the environment, to search for a deeper understanding of their own social, emotional, physical and spiritual needs and those of others, and to develop a sense of their own rights and responsibilities.
It also develops effective thinking dispositions such as the ability to be open-minded and to consider other points of view, to give appropriate reasons for opinions, to develop resilience and the ability to persevere when things are complex, to embrace challenges and to respond with curiosity, imagination and innovative thinking.
Academic ability is important for future success, but the challenges of the 21st century mean that our students must acquire a variety of skills and capabilities. There is a growing demand for innovation, creativity, communication, empathy, adaptability and social skills. Education has a vital role to play in helping young people build lives that have meaning and purpose, in an ever changing and unpredictable world.

Our Junior School Shelford is proud of its academic tradition. Shelford students benefit from an all girls’ environment where the learning is tailored for the ways that girls learn best.
In Junior School there is a strong literacy and numeracy focus. Small class sizes ensure that every girl is well known and is able to receive individual attention. The teaching and learning environment challenges and stimulates students to achieve their personal best within all facets of their development - academic, physical, social, emotional and spiritual. Students are encouraged to be resilient and to persevere when faced with a challenge. At Shelford the staff recognise that students exhibit a wide range of abilities, interests and learning styles and they provide appropriate experiences to challenge and stimulate.
Shelford is a non-selective entry school that welcomes students from a diversity of backgrounds. It has a strong academic tradition, exceptional Performing Arts and Visual Arts programs, extensive sporting opportunities and an impressive range of subjects.
Open Days provide an excellent opportunity to see the School in action, and to meet the Principal, students and key members of staff.
