Ladies College Introduction

Lilian Nixon’s vision and foresight can be seen by her decision to purchase the tree filled four acres of land in Flower Road.

A century of students, who have spent their girlhood in these premises and have savoured the beauty of these tree-filled spaces bless Ms Nixon for it.

Ms Opie expanded the premises and she and succeeding principals constructed many new buildings as the need arose, but without compromising the beauty of their surroundings…..

All this has resulted in a school made up of dedicated learning and recreational spaces – a visually rich, inspiring environment in which to learn. When you step in through the gates of Ladies College and look around, you see the school chapel with its Moorish facade and Kandyan roof, the pillared colonial Copelston corridor and the sleek design of the school Hall. A mixture of the old and new, the quaint and the daring, mingling together in perfect charm and harmony, bringing the true flavour of Ladies College at a glance. The buildings are monuments that speak of all the stages of the school’s life from its humble beginnings and its steady growth”. School Magazine
