From the Headmistress

Every girl who comes to St Elowen’s arrives believing she must earn her place. It is my privilege to tell her, on her first evening, that she already has it.

We ask three things of our girls, and only three. Courage, which is not the absence of fear but the doing of the right thing while afraid. Kindness, which costs nothing and is worth everything. And Honour, which is simply this: that a girl’s word may be relied upon.

Tradition binds us. But tradition is nothing without the spirit behind it. We keep the light, girls, and we keep it for one another.
