We are proud of the breadth of subjects and learning experiences we offer our students at Mentone Girls' Secondary College. In Year 7 students have a choice of language (French or Japanese) and at Year 9 and 10 we offer a wide array of electives for students to choose from. In Year 9 students undertake study in the Reflective Learning Centre and have the opportunity to undertake an acceleration subject at Year 10. At VCE our subject offerings allow students to undertake study that suits their future aspirations, including Vocational Education and Training (VET) subjects. Our classes are 75 minutes long, enabling deeper learning opportunities for our students. |

Leadership at Mentone Girls’ Secondary College contributes significantly to a student’s preparation for life as she is empowered to assume a positive place in an evolving global and democratic community. We believe opportunity and skill development is the key to building leadership. Providing the opportunity to lead and follow through a range of experiences enhances personal growth.
College student leaders run school assemblies and year level assemblies on a regular basis. SRC Members, Peer Support Leaders, Supportive Friends, The VCE Committee, Magazine Committee, House, Sport, Music and Form Captains all plan and help to manage functions and activities in ways that epitomise their emerging leadership skills.
The Student Leaders at Mentone Girls’ Secondary College have provided an active voice for all students, as well as working to improve the quality of both student and community life through leadership, listening to suggestions, school involvement and fundraising. Overall our girls are moving towards our goal of developing strong, independent young women who will make outstanding leaders in the future. |
