Ourschool Alumni Program

2012 alumna Jade Gong joined Jo Jepsen’s year 12 design class via Microsoft Teams to help prepare the students for their upcoming SAC. Jade is in product development for Cotton On.  Ms. Jepsen posed questions to Jade that would provide real world scenarios regarding contemporary issues in clothing development and production such as sustainability, waste reduction and fair labor practices.  One student summed up the session by saying ‘thanks, Jade, you literally saved our lives for the SAC next week!’

Jade also shared pathway advice including alternative routes to positions in the field, information regarding the degree she received at RMIT and the importance of networking.   

When alumni return to the school, in person or virtually, to share their career pathways with current students, they become a relatable resource having recently walked the same halls at MGC. 

If you are or know an alum who would like to share her post-MGC pathway with the alumni coordinator, email alumni@mgc.vic.edu.au

Melbourne Girls’ College joined the Ourschool Alumni Program Foundation Service beginning this school year.  Ourschool is a not for profit service dedicated to helping public high schools establish and build their alumni networks to benefit students and strengthen public school communities.  With the term two switch to remote learning, the focus of our alumni connections moved from in person sessions to virtual career pathway and other class specific events.
