About

General Decription

Our Lady of the Sacred Heart College is an all girls secondary Catholic College, with 450 students from Years 7-12. Founded in 1951 in Adelaide, South Australia, OLSH is located in Enfield, only 7.5 kms from the Adelaide CBD and 20 minutes from Adelaide International Airport.

OLSH is a vibrant, inclusive and hopeful community, in which each individual is valued. Our passionate, generous and highly competent staff, prepare students for future challenges by encouraging creativity, perseverance and resilience.

We encourage excellence. We strive to develop within each girl confidence in her particular talents and abilities and the knowledge that she is important and unique.

The OLSH Campus is structured around several courtyards with modern facilities and its fenced grounds provide a safe and secure learning environment for all the girls. The Senior Campus offers an innovative, adult learning community for our Senior students, to support their transition from school into life in the global community.

Our outstanding learning program, recognising the particular way in which girls learn best, produces excellent results in Year 12 and leads graduates to University courses, in fields such as Engineering, Law, Pharmacy, Education, Business and Medicine.

Your daughter’s success at school will, to a huge extent, predict her future. We equip students with the skills for success in this rapidly changing world. OLSH provides a multicultural community of students in which your daughter can develop strong interpersonal skills and global friendships.

Why choose us

Those of us who teach girls are passionate about the benefits of girls' education. We know that it builds confidence, nurtures and encourages and provides a unique learning environment that presents opportunities for girls to excel by using teaching strategies that reflect research on how girls learn best.

Studies show the many and varied benefits of all-girls schools. Girls have the best opportunity to reach their full academic potential, have higher tertiary entrance scores and an increased likelihood of going to university. In single sex schools girls engage in more healthy academic competition. In the long term women who attended girls schools earned 19.7% higher wages.

At OLSH girls can:

  • Learn in ways which suit them
  • Learn to lead
