A message from our Principal

The holiday season is almost here and I hope you are able to shift focus from everyday responsibilities to relaxation and enjoying time with family and friends. Thank you for your wonderful Alumni support of Melbourne Girls’ and the inspiration your stories and successes inspire in our current students. We are very proud of you and look forward to ever greater connections with you in 2017. Thank you to our President Suzie Rule, Genevieve Neumann and all of the Alumni Committee for their wonderful work this year.

Even though this quote was attributed to Sir Isaac Newton in 1676 I am sure a woman said it first, it is one I always link to our alumni, "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants”
