Our focus is to develop and promote authentic, caring, confident, creative and connected women who value reason, imagination, truth, compassion and responsibility.

OUR EXTRACURRICULAR PROGRAM

The St Aidan’s Extracurricular program complements the academic program with a focus on developing the School’s Values; we promote authentic, caring, confident, creative and connected women who value reason, imagination, truth, compassion and responsibility.
