STRATEGIC PLAN

Our Grammarians must be in and for the world. 

They are shaped by their times and places, including its present realities. They recognise and respect the importance of diversity of belief and the rights of others.

Their MGGS education prepares Grammarians who operate in the world; they are active in shaping their realities. They see clearly, and they act boldly, as ethical women of action.

Our work at Melbourne Girls Grammar is to educate, our Grammarians with the capability to be active and successful participants in complex times.

We educate Grammarians to be active and ethical, approaching their futures with integrity, compassion, courage, and self-discipline.

Our Strategic Plan 2025-2030 is our communication to the community of our strategic intent, our organisational goals, and the actions required to achieve those goals. In creating this Strategic Plan we have consulted with our community, accruing data through whole community surveys, focus groups, and academic and co-curricular results. We have affirmed our assumptions of the MGGS Vision, Mission and Values. We have started with the end in mind.

As with the previous plan, we continue to place the learner at the centre of our thinking. Our framework based on culture, learning, environment and community remains unchanged as do our values – integrity, courage, compassion and self-discipline.

Additionally, as part of the development of this plan it became apparent that we wanted to define the key profiles of our learners, teachers, professional support staff and leaders. For it is this group that live the daily life of the School and set our culture.

“The inner belief and commitment to realising excellence by those who lead schools is the starting point. At its beating heart the excellent school is a place where people care more than others think is wise, [take] risks more than others think is safe, dream more than others think is practical and expect more than others think is possible.” – Roy Blatchford (2014) The Restless School

Our Strategic Development Framework (SDF) was approved by School Council in 2022. Since, the School has been working on the background work to enable it to be fully developed. The stages will be implemented in tandem with our Strategic Plan to deliver on our educational vision and growth trajectory.
