Fintona Girls’ School

Principal Rachael Falloon

Rachael Falloon commenced as Principal in 2018. Her goal is to develop young women who are agile learners – capable, confident and curious; young women who know themselves deeply, embrace opportunity and contribute positively to the world. 79 Balwyn Road, Balwyn VIC 3103

At Fintona, we see the extraordinary in every girl.

Our size allows for deeper learning in the classroom and greater participation across a broad range of co-curricular pursuits. Here, students have more opportunity to discover passions, develop skills and prepare for life after school.

We’re known not only for the excellence of our teachers, but for an environment where students have more access to their teachers. Beyond consistently outstanding VCE and NAPLAN results, the benefit of our approach is seen in our independent and articulate graduates who go on to excel in their field.

In 2021, Fintona celebrates 125 years of providing a wellrounded education that inspires new interests and unlocks new pathways. This year will also see the opening of our new STEM building, the Annie Hughston Centre, named after the school’s founding principal.

Our long tradition of education at the highest standard continues today, as girls master the skills they will need for the future with confidence, energy and drive. Our mission is to deliver a dynamic learning journey, with our exceptional alumni as living proof.

We invite you to learn more about Fintona by talking with our principal, students and staff on a school tour.
