From the Principal 

Dear Parents & Guardians,

Over the past week, in the lead-up to International Women's Day, you may have seen on our social media that we have been profiling some of the women who contribute to our school community. This year's global theme is "Accelerate Action", and through our MAG Women in Action spotlight, we recognise a selection of inspiring women whose resilience, dedication and hard work make a significant contribution to the MAG community. You can read the full details on our Facebook page. 

Next week, we are looking forward to welcoming Dr Freya Hildebrand, Clinical Director of Medicine at Echuca Regional Health. She will be speaking with Years 11 and 12 students about academic achievement in rural areas, career progression and family.
