★ Now enrolling — Y7 / 2026

A school that notices
every single kid.

Bright Minds is an independent K–12 day school on Sydney's lower north shore. Class sizes are capped at 16 — every report is hand-written, every teacher knows every student's name, and homework on weekends is unwelcome.

Folio three — a real day

What a Wednesday looks like.

Switch year groups with the tabs. The yellow cell is what's on right now. Tour visitors can sit in on any non-assessment lesson.
Folio four — the people

Taught by people we trust.

Three of our forty-two teachers, drawn at random for this page. Every staff member has signed the parent letter at the bottom of their card.
Head of English
Ms. Eloise Whitmore
B.A. Hons (Lit), Sydney · 18 years teaching

Reads three novels a week, including the ones the kids tell her are too hard. Believes the right book at the right age does more than any standardised test.

— Ms. Whitmore
Head of Mathematics
Mr. Ravi Iyer
M.Sc. (UTS) · 12 years teaching · former engineer

Came to teaching from a structural-engineering practice. Runs the Maths Olympiad club on Friday afternoons, where the rule is no calculator, real cake.

— Mr. Iyer
Head of Pastoral
Dr. Naomi Park
D.Psych · 10 years in schools

Works with students, parents, and teachers — every kid in the school sees her at least once a year, never as a punishment, always as a check-in.

— Dr. Park
