Walford is proudly a girls’ school, because we know the important benefits of girls’ education. We also ensure that our students experience co-educational environments.

Intentional connections with boys’ and co-educational schools immerse Walford students in a range of world views and perspectives and prepare them to engage thoughtfully and confidently in a range of diverse contexts. These interactions help students build respectful relationships with their male peers, collaborate in and lead within mixed-gender groups, and to navigate social complexities.

In our Junior School, we share multiple excursions with schools such as St Peter’s College Junior School, St John's Grammar School and St Peter's Woodlands as part of our curriculum. We also gather for events and competitions with various other schools, such as Book Week, the IPSHA Poetry Recital, and the Kindness Convention.

For Middle School students in Years 7 and 8, Walford and St Peter’s College organise engaging mixed-group activities, fostering peer relationships across schools. Walford’s Year 9 student leaders have introduced a service-learning initiative that students from St Peter’s College will be involved in supporting Kickstart for Kids.

For Senior School students, an intentional sequence of events focused on the development of healthy relationships has been extended to include a Year 10 program and an introductory session for our Year 11 students. This complements the long-running Year 11 Relationships Day, which is run with four independent schools. This curriculum content is student driven, in collaboration with industry experts.

There are opportunities for all Secondary School students to partake in combined musicals and concerts. Student leaders also often collaborate with their equivalents at boys schools to develop their leadership skills through targeted training or initiatives of shared importance.
