“We know we don’t yet live in an equal world,” she reflects. “But we can empower our girls to go out and make a difference. They will solve problems, they will lead, and they will leave their mark on the wider world.” At St Aidan’s Anglican Girls’ School, that mission is not an abstract ideal; it is visible in every lecture hall blueprint, every flood-resilient facility, every professional learning summit, every community partnership and every classroom interaction. As the school approaches its centenary, one thing is clear: the vision that compelled a small group of Anglican sisters in 1929 is alive and evolving, preparing the next generation of young women to shape the future with intellect, empathy and purpose. celebration that will honour students, staff, current and past parents, alumni and the wider community. Riordan, who has been principal for eight years after joining St Aidan’s as deputy principal in 2015, is clear about the through-line that connects the school’s past, present and future. In a world where equality is still a work in progress, she believes St Aidan’s has an enduring responsibility to educate girls who are confident, creative, connected and courageous.
