Middle School News

As Term 2 draws to a close, we’d like to congratulate all our Middle School students on a busy and productive term. From assemblies to assessments and subject selections, students have continued to show resilience, curiosity, and growth.
We’ve especially enjoyed celebrating our Middle School Stars — students who consistently work hard and demonstrate a strong commitment to their learning. These students were recognised with a special pizza lunch to acknowledge their efforts and dedication.
We hope everyone enjoys a well-deserved break and returns refreshed for Term 3.
Farewell to Our Exchange Student – Valentine
This term, we had the pleasure of welcoming Valentine, an exchange student from France, into the MGSC community. During her time with us, Valentine quickly became a valued and much-loved member of our school.
Valentine embraced every opportunity to engage with classes, explore new subjects, and build friendships across year levels. Her positive attitude, curiosity, and openness made a lasting impression.
Having Valentine in our school allowed us to learn more about French culture, language, and school life, and reminded us of the richness that cultural exchange brings to education.
As Valentine returns home to France, we thank her for the energy and warmth she brought to MGSC and wish her all the very best for the future. We hope she leaves with great memories of her time here — she will always have a place in our community.
Merci et bon voyage, Valentine!
Hello, I’m Valentine, a French student here for a 3-month exchange.
During this time, I got to discover Australian school and culture, and a new way of learning that’s different from what I know.
It was also my first time in an all-girls school, we don’t have that in France, so it was something new for me, but I have really enjoyed it!
Thank you for these unforgettable moments in Australia!

Hello, I am Allegra, a year 10 student at MGSC and I am wanting to study VCE French so I signed up for a reciprocal student exchange program.
I have had Valentine live with me and go to school with me for the last 3 months and it has been such an insightful experience!
In August, I leave to go stay with Valentine and her family for 3 months and I get to experience French culture and French schooling.
It is such an incredible experience to be a part of and I am so grateful for this opportunity!
