Community Outreach

The aim of Community Outreach at Gateways is to encourage in our pupils an awareness of the world around them, from the school community they experience each day to the local neighbourhood and the much wider community beyond. We aim to use the talents and energies of each and every one of our girls in support of this sense of community.

The House System encourages a sense of community throughout the whole school as girls from Prep to High School come together to compete in such Challenges as House Music Competition.

Involvement in the local community is encouraged in many ways throughout the year and girls often find their own ways of supporting local people.

Awareness of the wider community is developed through our active Amnesty International Group and the busy programme of fundraising for charity which our girls organise each year.
