Parents’ Association Grants Scheme 2024/2025
A key component of the MGC Parents’ Association (PA) has always been to raise funds through the school community to provide financial assistance to the school for some of those ‘extra’ opportunities that MGC offers its students.
With this in mind we are pleased to now be accepting applications from students and staff for our 2025 Grants round.
Applications for funding (or partial funding) can be for things such as programs, guest speakers, purchase of equipment, student conference attendance, an event or activity. We encourage everyone to submit an application for their worthwhile initiative that would be of benefit to students at MGC.
Application Forms & Information Sheet that provides details about the Grants Scheme and outlines the application process are available from Darcy & Rebecca in the front office.
All applications must be submitted on the PA Grants Scheme Application Form and emailed to accounts@mgc.vic.edu.au and mgcparents@gmail.com
Applications close Monday 12th August 2024
Please encourage your student to apply.
MGC Father’s Day Breakfast Friday 30th August
Open your diaries and pop in a ‘save the date’ for our wonderful Father’s Day Breakfast Event held in the Gillard Centre each year. We love to see our students bring along their dads or a special person and share a delicious bakery breakfast while overlooking the Yarra River. It’s always a special morning and tickets will go on sale very soon so, please keep an eye on Compass for booking more details.
