Wellbeing at Melbourne Girls Grammar

Wellbeing is central to the personal development of each student at Melbourne Girls Grammar. We believe an exceptional education for life not only develops academic skills and attributes, but emotional and physical wellbeing as well. We also believe positive relationships between staff, students and parents are essential for success.

At Melbourne Girls Grammar, we aim to know each student and provide them with an environment that enables them to achieve their best academically and personally. It is important that our international students feel supported and settled in their learning and living environments – in the classroom and in the boarding house. To achieve this, we ensure that they have access to an International Student Co-ordinator and wellbeing staff, and the Head of Boarding who assist them to settle into the routines and rigours of school and personal life.

Whilst many international students commence in the Senior Years, MGGS is registered to enrol International students from Year 5 onwards. We recognise that as our girls grow and develop their wellbeing needs will continue to change and our wellbeing models are designed to pre-empt and respond to the complexities faced by our students at the various stages of their development.
