Sport

Recognising the significance of challenging our students, we prioritise their participation in competitive sports at Mentone Girls' Grammar. This fosters not only personal growth, resilience, and self-improvement, but also boosts their confidence and proficiency in various sporting skills.

As Sports Captain, I have the privilege of leading my fellow Meerkats and encouraging them to participate in the wide range of sporting opportunities available that helped inspire me to become a leader.

Mentone Girls has allowed me to use my role to make a positive impact on the School sporting community and encourage fellow students to achieve their goals and pursue their passions.
