Eureka Secondary School welcomes you to our Open Day. We hope that you can enjoy a sample of all we have to offer your daughter in her educational journey. Eureka is a place where your daughter can flourish and reach her potential in a happy and caring educational environment.

Our ethos underpins our approach to education as a place that promotes the development of our students and recognises that each girl in Eureka is unique and talented. It is important to us that our students are supported to reach their potential academically, holistically and spiritually.

Choosing a secondary school for your daughter is an important decision and we hope that during our Open Day you can enjoy a flavour of our school ethos, atmosphere and community. Eureka is a warm, welcoming school built on a tradition of respect and encouragement. We encourage and support all students

to grow and flourish during their time with us. Our educational vision is one where we support the girls to become independent, confident, responsible and happy young women, ready for a modern world where they can thrive. We believe the educational experience of our students should empower them to become critical thinkers, with a belief in themselves and their own role in society. We look forward to working in partnership with you and your daughter.

Our tradition is captured in our school crest, embracing the core values of learning, respect and community. At the heart of everything is our students. The journey each girl has here in Eureka ensures that she is offered every opportunity to experience a wealth of activities and to make friendships which we hope will create many happy memories of school life.
