2025 is going to be a very exciting and important year for Cranbrook in our transition to coeducation in the Senior School. But as Mrs Marquet mentioned on our Staff Development Day – our Pre-Schools have been coeducational for over 70 years!  

The orientation programme for our first Year 7 cohort continues with an event each term including our current Cranbrook Junior School students, incoming girls, and incoming boys. For our second Year 7 cohort in 2027, the long orientation will commence this term as well with events throughout the year. These email invitations will be sent out next week for the Term 1 events. A reminder that the numbers are limited but the plan is that every student can attend at least one or two a year. These events help students get to know each other, the senior campus, as well as work together in coeducational groups.  

For our first Year 11 coeducational cohort, the incoming girls will be attending academic and social events and taking part in our Tomorrow Man and Tomorrow Woman workshops at the end of the year.  

On Tuesday 28 January, we hosted a coeducational scholarship evening for students looking at scholarships in 2026. We had over 200 people in attendance despite the sky opening up as it began. 

The enrolments are well underway for Year 7 2027 and the enrolment process will commence at the end of this term for Year 11 2027. I look forward to keeping you updated with our final year of transition before coeducation this year – have a fantastic start to term!
