Senior School

At Mentone Girls’ Grammar, our Senior School is a place of challenge, discovery and growth. Across Years 7 to 12, students are supported to become confident, capable and compassionate young women - empowered to lead lives of purpose and possibility. 

Through exceptional teaching, a strong culture of care, and a breadth of learning opportunities, each student is equipped to thrive both at School and beyond.

Years 7 and 8: These years are known as a ‘Journey of Discovery’. These first two years of Senior School form a carefully designed transition between junior learning and the more independent demands of the senior years. Students engage in a broad and challenging academic program while participating in rich co-curricular life. Pastoral care is a priority, supporting and guiding our students, as they start discovering opportunities and learning the importance of taking ownership of their learning.

Year 9: This middle year is a pivotal stage in each student’s journey – 'A Year of Challenge and Growth' - a time of growing independence, self-discovery, and personal challenge.

The year begins with Starting Strong in Term 1, where students build essential skills through team building and personal development. In Term 2, the On Country immersion in Central Australia deepens cultural understanding and fosters independence. The SPARK program further ignites curiosity and passions, guiding students to explore their future pathways. Throughout the year, students are encouraged to step beyond their comfort zones, engage with new ideas, and develop resilience that will equip them for the senior years ahead.

Years 10, 11 and 12: Our 3-Year VCE program, begins in Year 10 and continues through Years 11 and 12. This extended pathway provides students with a strong foundation for success in the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), allowing greater flexibility, confidence and balance throughout the senior years. With specialist teaching, dedicated study spaces, and personalised guidance, every girl is supported to excel academically, explore future pathways, and grow into a young woman of integrity, insight, and impact.
