ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½ is a Round Square School

At ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½, students are encouraged to look beyond the Southern Highlands and engage with the wider world. The Round Square program helps ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½ students do just that, providing opportunities to connect with a global network of schools and reinforcing the values at the heart of the ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½ experience.

Round Square’s principles are a natural extension of ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½β€™s own values. The program offers students the chance to put them into action in a global context.

β€œRound Square opens up doors for our students. It’s a bridge to the world, and it helps build on the values that make ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½ special.”
