Melbourne Girls' College empowers young women to strive for academic excellence, grow with resilience and self-belief, and lead courageously. We are driven by a commitment to shapesocially conscious individuals who positively influence communities.

Melbourne Girls¿ College was established in 1994 on the Birrarung (banks of the Yarra River) in Richmond, Victoria. It provides enrolment opportunities for local, wider-Melbourne and international students to study a guaranteed and viable curriculum at Years 7-9, followed by many Year 10, VCE, and VET subjects in the senior years. The Melbourne Girls¿ College values provide the foundations of our strong community and guide students to "Lead and Achieve".

We value: Excellence - In our achievements and aspirations while always striving to give and be our best.

Teamwork - Together, we know we can achieve so much more. We strongly believe that effective communication and the celebration of individuality within the team are crucial elements to developing an effective team-based and collaborative environment.

Diversity - We are a richer community when we consider all perspectives and recognise and celebrate our differences.

We challenge our students to think critically about their own beliefs and examine the world in fresh ways to promote creativity and innovation in an authentic, inclusive environment.

The academic achievements of Melbourne Girls¿ College are strong and many of our students participate in the Student Excellence Program and the MGC Learning Extension and Advancement Program (LEAP). The curriculum at Melbourne Girls¿ College is designed to equip students with depth and breadth of knowledge, skills,



and capabilities needed for success. Students are encouraged and challenged to strive for personal excellence, and we explicitly teach strategies, habits and behaviours that are deeply connected to a growth mindset. The school community takes pride in teaching students the transferable skills required to be socially conscious and to challenge stereotypes, particularly in women¿s leadership, sustainability, and philanthropy.

Our International Student Program is thriving with a capacity to offer 80 positions of enrolment to full fee-paying international students.

While our academic achievements are a publicly recognised strength of Melbourne Girls¿ College, we are equally committed to the personal, social, and emotional wellbeing of our students. We recognise the intrinsic link between wellbeing and effective learning and have adopted a whole-school approach to wellbeing. We have a Year 7 to 12 Homegroup and Wellbeing structurewhere each student explores a sense oftheir own abilities, achievements and self-worth. From the moment a student joins MGC they are connected to a homegroupand this strengthens their sense of belonging. Our homegroups facilitate effective communication between the College, and parents and carers where the homegroup teacher becomes a key contact, strengthening our home‑school partnerships.





The College prioritises and celebrates success and growth in the whole person and MGC has a robust focus on co‑curricular endeavours, particularly in rowing, aerobics, dance, and other school sporting programs. The College invests in creative, and artistic endeavours and experiences for students, particularly in the performing and visual arts through our instrumental program, and school productions. In addition, MGC has a thriving Australian Airforce Cadets program. The sustainability collective and environment projects are well known in the local and wider community.
