Middle Years

In Melbourne Girls Grammar’s Middle Years (Years 5 – 8) Program, students begin a robust, research-based curriculum tailored specifically to the needs of contemporary adolescent girls.

We have purposefully designed two learning experiences, Wildfell (Years 5 and 6) and St Hilda’s (Years 7 and 8), which promote an integrated approach combining both academics and wellbeing.

In the Middle Years, our girls encounter choice and challenge. With a highly engaging experiential program, we see students embracing the full range of opportunities in front of them inside and outside of the classroom.

Above all, there is a sense of community and belonging. We are aligned in our purpose and values, emphasising a collaborative working style between students, educators and mentors.

Co-Curricular Program

Life at MGGS exposes students to a range of curriculum, community and co-curricular opportunities.

Girls are encouraged to embrace all activities, consolidating existing skills, discovering new passions, building networks and relationships.

In the Middle Years, co-curricular programs include Physical Pathways, Passion Pathways and Service and Leadership.

Our Philosophy

Our Middle Years experiences reflect and acknowledge the challenging and ever changing world in which our girls live.

The Wildfell and St Hilda’s Programs offer rich, varied and engaging learning and wellbeing experiences for our girls. Our programs are built on a philosophy of choice, academic challenge, personal challenge and raised expectations.

Wellbeing

At MGGS, we believe the wellbeing of our students underpins their academic success.

A holistic approach to knowing each student and her family is vital in providing our girls with the support they need to succeed.
