Year 8 Leadership Conference 2017

On Friday the 26th May, 10 year 8 girls travelled down the freeway to Geelong to participate in the annual ‘Leadership Conference’, at Matthew Flinders Girls Secondary College. Our girls enjoyed meeting girls from the seven other state girls’ schools in Victorian, where they were able to share their experiences and school with each other. The girls got to participate in digital technology and living garden activities: including Sphero challenge, Virtual challenge and Little Bits challenge. The MGC girls presented a fabulous overview of our school, incorporating three slides, where they were asked to mirror MGC as a colour, image and symbol. The girls chose the colour ‘green’ to represent our beautiful surroundings, the ‘growth tree’ to represent the image of MGC and its incredible diversity which we are proud of and the symbol of ‘Gratitude’, as a reflection of the year 8 theme. The girls really enjoyed the day, and as we trundled back down the freeway to Melbourne, firstly driving through Macca’s for a well deserved soft serve ice cream, they all agreed that MGC was really the best school to be!
