Fintona Girls' School

Church Find welcomes Fintona Girls' School in Balwyn, who are engaged in a revitalisation journey enriching the community, for all their latest times and information including times.

Situated in the inner eastern suburb of Balwyn, Fintona is an independent, non-denominational day school for girls from Prep to Year 12 and offers a co-educational early learning program for girls and boys. The International Baccalaureate is taught from ELC to Year 6.

Fintona's VCE results consistently place it among the top performing schools in Victoria and are the culmination of the personal attention students receive in a small school. From its commencement in 1896, Fintona has espoused the view that 'girls can do anything' and has encouraged students to be critical, independent thinkers empowered to take their place as active, effective citizens and leaders.

Our friendly, supportive and caring environment, together with our broad-based education programs, provide our girls with many experiences to stretch them beyond expectation and to cope with life beyond school. Inspired by exceptional teachers, a Fintona girl will find the confidence to soar and achieve her highest academic and personal potential.

Our beautiful school grounds include a mixture of historic buildings and modern facilities such as our Early Learning Centre, landscaped, eco-friendly gardens as well as specialist classrooms in the Junior School. Our state-of-the-art Health & Wellbeing Centre provides our girls with even further opportunities for moving into the future with confidence and optimism.
