Support for Students

Melbourne Girls’ College offers a broad range of VCE and VET studies which cater for varied career pathways.

A major goal of the College is to develop in girls the skills, knowledge and confidence to become responsible citizens, leaders and decision makers and proudly assume any role available to them. To achieve this goal and to support each student’s academic program, the following activities are considered to be an integral component of education at Melbourne Girls’ College.

The timetable is designed so that Year 10 students have access to Unit 1 & 2 and VET studies, Year 11 students can enrol in Unit 3 & 4 studies and VET studies, and Year 12 students can access University Enhancement studies. 

Student Assemblies - Student Participation 

A regular meeting schedule of whole school assemblies, year level assemblies, house meetings and wellbeing sessions provide opportunities for student leadership and involvement in school decision-making. Meetings are often organised and run by students as part of an extensive whole school student participation programme. There is an opportunity for students to stand for election as college captains, house captains and SRC representatives and there is also scope for membership of many committees and working groups.

Managed Individual Pathways

A number of supportive programs and activities are made available to senior students at Melbourne Girls’ College to help them successfully complete secondary school and experience a smooth transition into further education, training or employment.  Each student is required to have a ‘Managed Individual Pathway’.  The Careers leader assists with pathway plans and students are encouraged to review their plan regularly in order to check their progress with meeting their goals and to seek out support where necessary. Students also listen to a range of guest speakers throughout the year, develop their careers portfolio and have individualised careers counselling.
