Message from the Principal

Melbourne Girls Grammar is a School that thinks deeply about the quality of its educational programs, talks openly with parents and students, and thrives because it has outstanding staff that are genuinely committed to the best outcomes for every girl. Our focus is the development of young women with the confidence, skills and experience to excel in life beyond school.

Quite simply, we love our students and seeing who they will become!
