Celebrating as a community
Duchesne is proud of the many achievements of its students and takes every opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate their success. Formal dinners, to which parents, alumnae and guests from the wider community are invited, provide an excellent opportunity to celebrate and share the stories of the ‘living tradition’ of Duchesne. The guest speakers are chosen for the way in which their stories will resonate with the audience. These dinners enable students to understand and practise the protocols for such occasions, which is an invaluable advantage as they enter professional life.

Academic
Whilst Duchesne does not select our students primarily on the basis of their academic achievements at school, we are proud of the high academic standards achieved at University. The College average GPA is approximately 5.3, well in excess of the University average.
-
Service and Mission
To live the Goals of Sacred Heart Education, Mission and Service play a large part in College Life and all students are expected to participate in this area.
-
Leadership
Residence in College offers many opportunities for the development of leadership skills. Many of our students have held significant leadership roles at school and all are encouraged to play a full and active part in the College community.
