Music

The Music School built in 1997 has proved to be the centre of our community of Musicians.

The ten individual teaching rooms, including one especially designed for percussion lessons, allow the thirty visiting music teachers to work in a supportive and collegiate environment.

The orchestral studio was acoustically developed for instrumental groups and seats the orchestra which has about sixty-five members. It also has a mixing board and speakers for use with the singers in the Jazz band.

The Choral Studio is a much loved space which provides an excellent acoustic for voices and is much appreciated by the five different choral groups that rehearse each week.

The two classrooms have keyboards that are used with the girl’s laptop computers as well as a wide variety of classroom percussion instruments.

There is also a music library and offices for the full time staff.

Visual Arts

The Art program at Melbourne Girls Grammar is designed around our open plan studios. Each studio supports a specialist art form.

The three large open plan studios have specialist facilities in Ceramics and Sculpture, Painting, Drawing and Printmaking, Textile design and printing. There is an additional darkroom and teaching space as well as a Graphic and Visual Design studio with desktop computer and printing facilities.

The Painting and Graphic Design studios have areas for senior students to work on folio work as an additional studio space. As MGGS is a notebook school the art studios have some facilities for network connections for student notebooks. There are AV facilities in the Graphic Design studio.

As the students progress through to Year 12 the students elect an Art subject from one of the following areas: Painting & Printmaking, Graphic and Visual Design, Photography & Digital Imaging, Sculpture and Ceramics.

The Art Department comprises of a group of specialist teachers in Painting, Printmaking, Photography, Design and Textiles. Additional courses are taught in Life Drawing and Photography.
