PRINCIPAL’S WELCOME
It is my pleasure to welcome you and your family to Melbourne Girls Grammar.
Catherine Misson Principal
We are a community that embraces its diversity and seeks to offer rich and varied opportunities for all types of girls to pursue their passions and interests. Your daughter will be encouraged to develop the confidence, skills and experience to excel in life beyond school. Leadership, team building, social and cultural awareness, and a strong sense of personal self worth are crucial components of her education at MGGS. We believe that students thrive when they are engaged in a challenging academic program within a nurturing environment. Our students are further extended through a comprehensive co curricular program. I strongly encourage your daughter to take up such opportunities for participation and to extend her peer relationships. MGGS girls love to be active and engaged. Melbourne Girls Grammar is a place where challenge and choice create opportunities for every girl to discover who she is meant to be. May you enjoy being a part of our wonderful community. MRS CATHERINE MISSON

MGGS SENIOR YEARS ORIENTATION HANDBOOK | 2011
ACADEMIC AND SOCIAL WELLBEING At MGGS we place knowing each student and her family at the heart of our educational programs.
We believe that there are multiple aspects to our students’ general wellbeing and we recognise that whilst these aspects work together as part of a balanced whole, as our students move through the Senior Years they will continue to grow and develop in each of these areas. Therefore, we take an integrated approach to ensuring that the social, personal and environmental factors in each of our student’s lives work together in a way which allows her to maximise her learning and develop into an independent, self-aware and resilient young woman. Our students are divided into small yearlevel based Personal Dimensions groups for the delivery of our wellbeing program. Our unique Personal Dimensions Program enables our Personal Dimensions Mentors to liaise closely with the small group of students in their care and act as the advocate, Learning Advisor, first point of contact for parents, students and teachers, and their Personal Dimensions teacher. The Personal Dimensions Mentor is a key member of the Wellbeing Team and as such, works closely with the Deputy Principal, Director of Senior Years, Year Level Co-ordinator, School Counsellor, Learning Strategies Co-ordinator, Health Officers and the Boarding House staff. The Personal Dimensions Curriculum has been designed to ‘wrap around’ the pastoral needs of adolescent girls and be the foundation upon which academic success rests.

House System The House system provides regular and friendly competitions and activities and forms part of each student’s identity and sense of belonging at school. The competitions include major carnivals for swimming and athletics as well as the very popular House Music, Drama, Art, Debating and Public Speaking competitions. The Houses provide an opportunity for school leadership and the House Captains play an integral role in the running of the House based activities and events. The Houses also encourage positive relationships between students from different year levels, which are essential to the development of our young women. There are five Houses in the School: House House Colour BATMAN HENSLEY MUNGO TAYLOR CLARKE
Yellow Pink Green Blue Red
Community Gatherings At MGGS we believe it is important to gather as a community in order to promote our shared identity as a School community, develop connections across year levels and celebrate our achievements.
These community gatherings take the form of assemblies, Chapel services and year level meetings.
Assemblies Students at Merton Hall gather on a weekly basis. The purpose of the assemblies is to develop a sense of community within the School and to celebrate and share student achievements.
Chapel Students attend the Senior Years chapel services on a regular basis. Chapel services provide an opportunity for prayer and reflection, and recognise the value of setting aside time to meet each student’s spiritual needs regardless of religious affiliation. Chapel services also provide an opportunity for our student leaders to highlight significant service learning taking place within the curriculum.
Year Level Meetings Year level meetings are organised and facilitated by the Year Level Co-ordinator and Personal Dimensions Mentors. Students come together regularly to celebrate their identity as a year level and to mark key transition points, rituals and rites of passage as they journey through school together.
MGGS SENIOR YEARS ORIENTATION HANDBOOK | 2011
LEADERSHIP AT MGGS Through formal and informal student leadership opportunities and programs a culture of responsibility, collaboration and inter-personal communication and intra-personal reflection is fostered. From the commencement of a student’s education at MGGS she is offered opportunities to experience and explore the many and varied facets of leading and leadership. Our student leaders work closely with, and for the School Community. They support and promote a community of practice that continually seeks opportunities to learn about the diversity of ways individuals and groups can and do create change, inspire action and represent ideas and opinions.
“Our student leaders work closely with, and for the School community.”
The student leadership structure at MGGS consists of the Student Executive Council supported by formal leadership committees.
Executive Council The Student Executive Council will be comprised of the following: School Captain and School Vice Captain 1 Boarding House Captain 5 House Captains 1 Peer Support Captain 7 Domain Captains (Music, Drama, Sport, Art, Environment, Community/Action/Service and Publications/Communication)

eLearning @ MGGS Technology pervades all levels of education at MGGS and is seen as a critical tool that can shift the focus from teaching to learning. Technology is embedded in everything we do, through our curriculum, in the design of our learning spaces, the School’s 1:1 Notebook program, the software and hardware available, as well as the cross-platform opportunities that are available. From the ELC through to Year 12, the girls have access to a 1:1 Notebook program that provides them with the opportunity to navigate, construct and publish and to collaborate with others on a worldwide basis. With specialist software the technology is able to provide problem solving opportunities, create and display artwork and animations, facilitate multimedia presentations and musical compositions and enable students to engage in the design process while increasing their digital fluency. Our IT Department provides technical support for staff and students whilst the eLearning Department offers training and mentoring to staff to encourage innovation and the use of the latest technological tools in the delivery of curriculum. MGGS is also exploiting ICT to improve parental engagement. This year alone we have installed the Synergetic Management Information System, as well as “eVI”, the School’s new Learning Management System. These platforms will allow us to provide more timely and accurate information to parents as well as offering a secure portal for online reporting from 2011.
Notebooks In Year 7, students will be issued with their own Notebook computer which they will keep until the end of Year 9. In Year 10 students will receive a new notebook which they will return to the School at the end of Year 12.

Year 9 Camp The Year 9 Camp will take place in the first three weeks of Term 3 2011 and will take our students from the tropics of Darwin to the red heart of Australia - Uluru. It will form an integral part of the Year 9 Curriculum and incorporate a wide range of experiences in a transdisciplinary approach to learning. Aspects of the trip will also contribute to the Duke of Edinburgh Scheme which many students undertake in Year 9.
The journey will provide students with the opportunity to experience the following:
The three main aims of this journey will be challenge, team building and leadership. A journey of this length and in a group of this size will challenge the students to be independent, understanding of others, well organised and prepared to ‘have a go’. They will be called upon and expected to demonstrate the School values of integrity, courage, compassion and self discipline.
• A series of physical challenges that extend them and build self esteem
Further details of the itinerary, dates and travel details will be provided at a later date. The students will fly to Darwin and travel by coach to Kakadu National Park, Litchfield National Park, Katherine Gorge and along the Stuart Highway to Alice Springs, Kings Canyon and Uluru.
10
• Connecting with other students, adults and communities • A new level of independence and decision making • An extended time away from the School and the family
• Integration of subject areas in real life experiences (authentic learning) • Exploring themes of sustainability, indigenous cultures and building relationships • Different ways of documenting, recording, interpreting, sharing and communicating their experiences (eg. journal writing, letters, oral and multimedia presentations) Preparation for the trip will take place in a number of different subject areas and it will also be incorporated in the Personal Dimensions Curriculum at Year 9. All students will undertake Level 2 First Aid Training in preparation for this expedition. The timing of the journey will enable teachers to prepare students in different subject areas in Semester 1 before they depart and to build on their experiences in Semester 2.
“The three main aims of this journey will be challenge, team building and leadership.”

COMMUNITY OFFICE
All current parents and guardians of Melbourne Girls Grammar girls are members of the Parents’ Association and there are many ways you can become involved that, importantly, link in with your daughter’s areas of interest. The Community Office works with the Parents’ Association to provide opportunities to strengthen connections between parents and the School. Its main objectives are to: • Promote and support Passion Groups (Arts, Boarding, Rowing, Snowsports and Navy Blue Lunch Committee) • Promote and support Year Level Class Representatives • Encourage participation in school events • Encourage social interaction between parents Passion Groups meet regularly and work with staff and students on fundraising and event organisation. These groups are an informal way to meet like-minded parents and enable parents to become involved proactively in the School. Across all campuses, each year level has a Class Representative who is an excellent 18
point of contact for social events relating to your daughter’s year level. They can also help put you in touch with other members of your cohort and they work hard to ensure your connection to Melbourne Girls Grammar is inclusive and enjoyable. One of these reps will be in contact with you early on in the year. Early in Term 1, the School hosts a Welcome Cocktail Party for all parents. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to meet new parents and chat with staff in a relaxed environment. Throughout the year, the Community Office and the Parents’ Association arrange a variety of activities including: • The Navy Blue Lunch (an exciting ‘must’ event for our community) • Father/Daughter breakfasts • Year Level morning teas, lunches, dinners and cocktail parties • Celebration of Sports Dinner • Boarding Parents welcome barbeque and other events • Information Evenings with guest speakers
In addition, the Parents’ Association meetings are open to any parent who wishes to attend. They provide an excellent overview of the PA activities and a way to connect with other parents on a regular basis. You are welcome and encouraged to participate in the 2011 meetings. Meeting dates are advised in the fortnightly newsletter, Messenger@MGGS. The Community Office can provide you with any information relating to these groups. Please feel free to contact them at community@mggs.vic.au.
