Introduction: A Personal Invitation to Walford
Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions a family can make. At Walford Anglican School for Girls, we understand this decision involves far more than just academic reputation — it’s about values, community, support, and environment. That’s why our Principal’s Tours offer families an exclusive opportunity to step inside and experience what makes Walford the best private school in Adelaide.
What Are Principal’s Tours?
Principal’s Tours are carefully guided visits led by our Principal, designed to offer prospective families a comprehensive view of life at Walford. Unlike standard open days, these tours are personal and immersive, giving you time to ask questions, explore classrooms, and feel the genuine atmosphere of our school.
These tours cater to parents of students at all entry levels — from our Early Learning Centre and Junior School through to Middle and Senior School. You’ll witness firsthand the progression of academic excellence and pastoral care that Walford is known for.
Why Attend a Principal’s Tour at Walford?
Walford stands apart as more than just an educational institution. As the best private school in Adelaide, our foundation is built on values such as empowerment, respect, and inclusion. Here’s what you can expect from a Principal’s Tour:
- Personal insights from our Principal: Learn about our educational vision, leadership philosophy, and commitment to excellence.
- A tailored experience: We take the time to understand what you’re looking for and guide you to see the areas that matter most to your child’s future.
- Behind-the-scenes access: Walk through active classrooms, observe interactions between students and teachers, and view our state-of-the-art facilities.
Meet the People Who Make the Difference
During the tour, you’ll meet not just the Principal but also key members of staff who contribute to Walford’s outstanding reputation. Our passionate educators are the heart of the school, creating an environment where every girl feels seen, heard, and supported.
Whether it’s our inspiring arts program, dynamic STEM initiatives, or the exceptional co-curricular offerings, the tour is your chance to ask questions and engage with the team.
A Glimpse Into Student Life
One of the most valuable aspects of a Principal’s Tour is seeing the day-to-day life of our students. You’ll see how our girls collaborate, engage in inquiry-led learning, and grow in confidence through a supportive and structured academic environment.
You’ll also experience how our all-girls setting encourages leadership, builds self-esteem, and nurtures lifelong friendships. From the Early Learning Centre through to Year 12, each stage of the Walford journey is designed to equip girls for success beyond the classroom.
