Intellectual Adventure in Australia 

Annual Girls' Leadership Conference Draws NCGS Delegates

Each year, our International Affiliate, the Alliance of Girls Schools (Australasia), generously invites two students from NCGS Member Schools to attend the Alliance's annual Student Leadership Conference.

It is truly a life-changing experience!
