Leadership
Victorian SRC Student Voice Workshop
My experience at the Victorian SRC Student Voice Workshop was very beneficial and interesting. It was good to hear other people's ideas and thoughts on what leadership is, and some different ways to be a leader. Having only a couple of schools at this conference enabled us to bond and encouraged us to step out of our comfort zones. We talked about ways to deal with problems at your school and solve the issues. We talked about wanting to become a more environmentally friendly school and ways we will try to turn this thought into a reality. This idea ended up winning the competition! Overall, I think this was a great and really fun experience as it gave us the chance to become better leaders and ways to tackle problems in our school.

International Women’s Day Breakfast –Mentone Girls’ Grammar
On Thursday 8 March, Issy Pilcher -College Vice Captain, Kate McMahon -SRC President and Emily James - representative from the VCE committee and I attended an International Women’s Day breakfast held at Mentone Girls’ Grammar School. We arrived at 7am with a warm welcome from the leaders of Mentone Girls’ Grammar and were directed to the food hall, where we found a large variety of breakfast foods. As we enjoyed our meal, we listened to a panel of three inspiring women; a firefighter, an entrepreneur and a businesswoman. They shared advice on how to succeed and thrive as a woman in workplaces dominated by men. Their speech’s motivated us all to strive for our potential and prove to the world how strong and independent women are and what we can achieve!

Student Leadership Training Day
Last Monday, some 120 students participated in the Student Leadership Training Day held at the College. Nia Holdenson from Melbourne University Graduate School of Education and formerly from Melbourne Girls' College assisted us with presenting the days activities. The focus of the day was on “If we always do what we have always done, then we will always get what we have always got”.
All students completed a PMI (Plus, Minus, Interesting) at the end of the day and the response was overwhelming positive. Much was learned during the day about the direction student leadership at MGSC might take in the future, and certainly, how such days could be further improved.
Many goals were brainstormed and various teams acquired display board spaces around the school enabling them to communicate visually with the whole school.
The highlight of the day was observing collaboration across the college, with students brought together not by year level but by like-minded ideas and interests.
International Women’s Day Assembly
We congratulated all our student leaders presenting them with their badges at the International Women’s Day assembly. Guest presenter Professor Belinda Gabbe, a former student (1985-1990) spoke with passion about her journey and some of the influences in forging her career. Belinda was inducted into the Honour Roll for Women of 2018, just last week.
Group photos of not only leadership groups but also Primary School groupings was a fun way to end the morning. This information will be shared back with the Primary schools as a ‘where are they now’ further reinforcing the links between ourselves and our many feeder schools.
