Image of Wenona, Sydney Wenona:
Wenona is a non-denominational, independent boarding and day school for girls. Located in North Sydney, just 20 minutes from Sydney’s CBD, it provides an all-girls education for students from Kindergarten to Year 12. The School is ideally placed to provide opportunities for community engagement and cultural learning experiences. While most Wenona girls are day students, accommodation is available for 55 boarders. Boarders are from country regions, overseas countries, and some from Sydney itself.

The Junior School and Senior School are on separate campuses on either side of Walker Street, North Sydney. The two campuses are close enough, however, for whole-of-school events and for sharing of facilities. The campuses have a blend of historic and modern buildings. These are continually being extended and upgraded to meet the changing needs of students and their education in the 21st century.

Wenona is well served by public transport. It is within walking distance of North Sydney railway station and major North Shore bus routes.

Boarding has been a special part of Wenona's life since 1922. Today up to 60 girls from Years 7 to 12 live in four Boarding Houses on the edge of the senior campus in Ridge Street, North Sydney, close to St Leonard's Park. The smallish size of the boarding community means that no girl is just a number or gets lost in the system. Individual care is guaranteed.

Boarding Options:
Full boarding, the traditional form of boarding, is fully residential during school terms (with a limit of four weekends of leave per term, plus one compulsory leave weekend). Girls have opportunities for leave with family or friends on the completion of required leave forms by parents/guardian and the host family or friend.

Girls must stay in the boarding house on the first and last weekend of every term. There is one compulsory leave weekend per term. Any further leave may be discussed with the Director of Boarding.

Weekly boarding allows girls to enjoy the benefits of boarding life during the week, but be at home with their families at weekends. Weekly boarders may stay in at weekends if written notice is given. This enables girls to enjoy the activities offered and to benefit from more structured study time.

Weekly boarders must stay in the boarding house on the first and last weekends of every term. There is one compulsory leave weekend per term.

Temporary boarding provides short-term stays for daughters of parents who are required to travel overseas, or families whose circumstances are undergoing change. Temporary boarding is subject to the availability of places.
