Principal's Welcome

Since 1899, generations of students, staff and parents have been proud to be a part of this vibrant, caring and highly successful learning community. Our approach blends the best of tradition with contemporary flair. Our unique location by the beach provides a fresh and healthy educational environment and has inspired our WAVES priorities – key principles which guide the way we meet the particular learning needs of girls by contributing to their Wellbeing, Achievement, positive Values, Enterprising nature and Success as women in our society.

Why is this important? Put simply – girls matter.

We have impressive facilities and resources, a range of purpose-built learning centres and an engaging variety of academic and co-curricular programs. But most importantly, we strongly believe that our ultimate advantage is the individual care and attention we give our students. A strong partnership, where a team of highly qualified, talented and dedicated teaching staff works respectfully and thoughtfully with our "Mentone Girls" and their parents, is a major part of our success. We work together as a community full of love, laughter and learning to ensure our WAVES priorities are realised both inside and outside the classroom. I look forward to welcoming you to Mentone Girls' Grammar School.
