Welcome to Velora
Velora's 10th principal
Dr Amelia Hart
. There’s an unmistakable sense of purpose that runs through every part of Velora, a shared belief in what education can and should be.
Velora has always been a place where girls are encouraged to think deeply, act with compassion and be unapologetically themselves, and that’s exactly the kind of environment I believe young people need in order to thrive.
I often say that a great school is the launch-pad for a good life. My role is to ensure that every child at Velora feels seen, supported and challenged - not to fit a mold, but to discover who she is and what she can contribute to the world.
That means celebrating integrity, fostering courage, inspiring curiosity and giving each of our students the confidence to lead with both intellect and empathy.
Velora girls are bold, thoughtful and kind. Watching them grow into strong young women who will make their mark on the world is, quite simply, the best part of my job.

Our Vision
Developing Students Who Are Authentic, Confident and Strong
We strive for all students at Velora to be understood and feel they belong; to discover their unique potential; to strive for excellence, rather than perfection; and to understand and learn that success in life is defined as much by their character as it is by their talents.
At Velora, we help students understand the power of their own voices. We develop their strengths, and we teach them the value of personal effort and collaborative achievement. And we create a lasting foundation for each student to draw on, as they carve their path in life.
Strong Foundations Underpin our Strategic Direction
Velora's Strategic Direction guides how we teach, lead and support every student. It shapes the choices we make in the classroom, on the sports field, in the arts, and across the school community, ensuring every initiative reflects our mission: helping students find their voice, develop their strengths, and grow into confident, capable and compassionate young women.
More than this, our Strategic Direction shows how our values come alive in everyday life, through lessons that spark curiosity, in teachers who challenge and inspire, in students taking on leadership and real-world challenges, and in a community that celebrates achievement and nurtures belonging.
