“Young people are aggravated by a number of forces: fragmentation of the family, decline of trust in public institutions, increasing public concern about questionable ethical practices in business and industry, the impact of the mass media, and our gradually increasing affluence. All of these forces help foster a materialistic, “me first” attitude.”

In preparing our girls for a global community, Queensburgh Girls’ High focuses on more than just academics and sport. We also have a keen sense of the importance of a values-based education. In a world that often worships at the altar of materialism and success, we place equal importance on the moral and ethical growth of our young women.

The survival of society depends as much on its moral and ethical principles, as it does on all other forms of success. So, at QGHS, girls are nurtured to inculcate values like respect and self-respect, good manners, a sense of community at school and the community at large, and a responsibility to our country and to the earth. Great stress is also placed on developing the moral and ethical principles that must guide everyday actions so that our girls can become more than great successes at careers. Their fine-tuned moral and ethical principles must also ensure that they become good mothers, be able to demonstrate integrity in the workplace and demonstrate responsibilty as citizens.

It is our mission to send out girls fully equipped with an all-rounded education.
