Second-hand Uniform Shop

Donna Harrison and Diane Weston have been working in our Second-hand Uniform Shop for many years, running the Wednesday morning session. They will both be finishing up at the end of the year. Therefore we need to recruit some new volunteers soon in order to continue to provide this service to our school community.

If you are able to assist please contact Donna Harrison on 0421 782 123.

Past Students' Association 

The PSA has a new Committee for 2018 comprised of mainly past students who left the school within the last 20 years. This is a great way to help the Committee transition into a new approach to engaging with the past student community. The previous long term Committee members attended in the the 1950s to 1970’s, some attending from the very beginning of the school at the Balcombe Road site. They did an excellent job supporting this Association for the School during the 2000s, volunteering countless hours in many ways.

We farewelled and sincerely thanked those long term members who had given ten and often more years service to the PSA. They were a capable, dedicated and caring group who had the interests of MGSC in their hearts and minds for a very long time.

So the new committee of PSA would like to again acknowledge the significant contributions of

past Committee members, Judy Deakin, Wendy Ford, Lorraine Pritchard and Margaret Osborne.

We hope to continue the goals and legacy of the PSA in this new digital age, while keeping the over 60 year history of MGSC (formerly MGHS) alive and part of the MGSC story.

We will introduce our new Committee members in future newsletters.

Please see our Association page on the School website for further information about PSA.
