Mentone Girls' Grammar School

Mentone Girls’ Grammar School is one of the finest schools in Melbourne - with classes from Kindergarten to Year 12. We welcome students of all talents and abilities and pride ourselves on being culturally diverse - our student population boasts many faiths and cultures. We believe every child is remarkable in their own way, and as such we value each individual and work to foster self confidence and achievement. The unique beachfront location has inspired the school’s WAVES priorities — key principles which guide the way we meet the particular learning needs of girls by contributing to their Wellbeing, Achievement, positive Values, Enterprising nature and Success as women in our society. WAVES underpins all that we do, and promotes creativity to nurture ideas and develop quality thinking from Maths and Science to all forms of artistic expression. We encourage boldness, enterprise and intellectual risk-taking in all areas of teaching, learning and life. We have a wonderful phrase at our School, which is simply Mentone Girls. Remarkable Women. This statement has become a powerful message of pride and encouragement for our students and community. With such a clear sense of who we are, it is no surprise that every year our VCE students feature among the State’s best, and the class of 2010 has continued this strong tradition of academic success, and university entry. Quality teaching, small classes, an inspired curriculum, personal development programs, and purpose built learning centres, ensure that Mentone Girls’ Grammar School is consistently ranked amongst the top schools in Melbourne. Our students regularly win prizes for academic, sporting and artistic endeavour. Mentone girls are encouraged to remain open to new ideas so they can identify and conquer the challenges of the future. They are encouraged to be leaders and life-long learners, to aspire to excellence, and make a real difference to the people and environment around them. That’s why Mentone girls become remarkable women; women who make a difference in their community and the global community; women who get the most out of life.
