Year 10 and Year 11 students on the 2024 World Challenge Expedition to Borneo
Year 10 and Year 11 students on the 2024 World Challenge Expedition to Borneo
Empowered to Act
For many within the MGGS Community, it is the sense of belonging at the heart of our School’s culture which stays with you long after you leave the red brick walls of Merton Hall.
That feeling of belonging, the joy of being part of something bigger than yourself, of supporting your peers, representing our School, cheering on our team, is something to hold dear.
Melbourne Girls Grammar’s vibrant and confident culture is unique, and it begins in the smallest of moments, but can have a far greater impact.
It begins with the way students engage with one another in the hallway, with their teachers and coaches in times of challenge, and with the broader School community. Grammarians engage wholeheartedly, it’s simply what they do! Often it is not about obligation, it’s about inspiration. As new Grammarians settle in and find their place to belong, they’re motivated to do as their peers do, as the ‘older girls’ do, and get involved. This spirit of participation forms an integral part of the MGGS experience.
A vital part of shaping compassionate and courageous women comes from meaningful engagement beyond our own community. As students become more confident and aware, many begin to seek out opportunities to connect with their local communities. These acts of service are driven by curiosity, empathy and a desire to make a meaningful impact. Whether through volunteering, fundraising or cultural immersion, students discover that giving back is not separate from their education – it is part of how they learn, grow and understand the world.
Throughout the Senior Years, these experiences evolve. They begin locally, expand nationally, and sometimes reach across global frontiers. But at their core, they reflect a culture where students are encouraged to act with integrity, courage and compassion. This article explores how that culture is expressed through the voices and actions of our Grammarians.
For many students, the journey begins with a single step. For Lexi, now in Year 11, that step has become a defining part of her identity.

Leading by Example
Lexi’s commitment to community service has grown steadily over the years, shaped by a series of meaningful experiences. Her regular shifts at a local Op Shop have taught her the value of consistency and connection.
“Here, I give back to my community; but just as importantly, the community has given back to me. In every shift, I meet new people and build relationships with my coworkers and my inspiring manager Lisa, who has dedicated a lot of her time to community work.”
Through these interactions, Lexi has developed practical skills – customer service, money handling, sales – but more importantly, she has come to understand the quiet impact of small gestures. Her musical performances at her local aged care facility offered another perspective:
“Playing Christmas pieces to so many residents really illuminated the warmth and joy that music can bring. The wisdom and stories of the residents is what has had the greatest impact on me. From these visits, I’ve learned that everyone has a valuable piece of advice and a story to share.”
These experiences have inspired Lexi to propose a new initiative at MGGS: an aged care community service program that connects students with elderly people. “I believe that there is so much value in learning about life, society and perspective and I know that speaking to residents and interacting with them in simple ways can achieve this.”
As Lexi has worked to engage the School and her peers in this initiative, she’s also participated in other community-minded events. Her leadership was evident in the GoGirls 100km Challenge, which was held at Lakeside Stadium in October 2024. GoGirls is a foundation that empowers and supports women from at-risk communities such as domestic abuse survivors and people experiencing homelessness. As part of the Melbourne Girls Grammar campaign, Lexi helped co-ordinate fundraising efforts, organised a sausage sizzle at school, and liaised with brands for donations. Alongside other girls’ schools in Melbourne, over $16,000 was raised for the GoGirls Foundation.
“This opportunity really tested and helped develop my leadership skills … it really taught me how powerful teamwork is.”
“Through all these experiences, I’ve been able to broaden my perspective and have learned so much from speaking to and observing people from all walks of life. Community service to me is not an obligation, but a privilege. It is so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of school life, but stepping outside this ‘bubble of privilege’, I have opened my eyes to the world around me. It has taught me to listen more carefully, act more thoughtfully, and to lead in the hope of making an impact. Looking forward, I am excited to continue finding new ways to contribute and I hope to explore more programs, perhaps even initiate my own programs to involve as many girls at Melbourne Girls Grammar as I can.”

Local Engagement
Many students begin their service-learning journey through local partnerships. These experiences are often hands-on and immediate, offering insight into the lives of others in their own city.
Eva, a Year 9 student, shared her experience working with the Salvation Army, unpacking the concept of homelessness. “We quickly learned that our definition of homelessness was extremely inaccurate ... Our key takeaway is that there is not just one path to homelessness; many different experiences shape a person’s journey.”
These experiences challenge assumptions and encourage students to approach social issues with curiosity and empathy. Their work with the Salvation Army prompted students to consider their place as the generation of the future, capable and responsible for taking action in important matters.
Year 10 student Aayati reflected on her time volunteering at the FareShare Kitchen, assembling meals, preparing vegetables and cleaning utensils and equipment. “It was really fulfilling and eye-opening. It taught us that, whilst we have such free access to food, some people out there don’t, and that is a rising problem. The volunteers who come and do this every morning are saving the lives of many Australians, which is something that is truly important in these hard times. It was incredible that we were able to do that for some families out there. It was a fun and memorable few hours, as we chatted and laughed with friends and teachers, and it’s something that I will go back to again.”
These moments are filled with laughter and teamwork, but they also prompt reflection. Students begin to see how their time and energy can make a tangible difference.

National Perspectives
As students mature, and as they learn about more complex social issues through curriculum, they’re also given opportunities to explore these in the real world. The Year 9 immersion trip to Northeast Arnhem Land offers a chance to engage with Indigenous culture and history in a meaningful way.
The learning experience for our Grammarians on Country in Arnhem Land is multi-faceted. They learn about nature and balance, how everything has its place and role to play. They immerse themselves in Yolgnu culture and art and learn about language. Highlights of the camp for many are the astrology evening, where they watch the sky with an expert astronomer, learn about the constellations and hear Dreamtime stories. A healing session with local Elders, gives them dedicated time to experience true connection with Indigenous women through touch, massage and using local plants to make the oils.
The program is facilitated by Culture College and is designed to sustainably support the local community while providing students with a deeper understanding of Country, culture and change through direct partnership with First Nations Australians. The experience instils an awareness about the importance of reconciliation between non-Indigenous and First Nations Australians. It is part of Culture College’s vision to bring about change in Australia through education and "reconciliation in action” with the younger generation. Melbourne Girls Grammar students have benefited from this transformative and eye-opening experience with Culture College since 2016, though Grammarians have participated in immersive trips to the Northern Territory since the 1950s.

Global Citizenship
Later in Senior Years, students are offered opportunities to engage in international expeditions. These experiences are culturally immersive and often physically and mentally demanding.
In 2024, 45 Years 10 and 11 Grammarians and six staff members travelled to Borneo as part of a three-week World Challenge Expedition. Not only was this trip a chance to build resilience, form new friendships and explore a new culture, participants were able to immerse themselves in different local communities. From visiting the famous orangutan sanctuary in Sepilok to climbing one of Southeast Asia’s tallest peaks, and hiking along the Kiulu River, this trip became one of the most “impactful and memorable” school experiences for many.
You can read more about the Borneo trip, and the personal reflections of Remy (Year 11), Harriet and Ava (Year 12) via our blog here.
Later this year, 30 students will travel to Cambodia for MGGS’s fifth trip in partnership with HAGAR Australia. This international trip combines service with physical challenge, travel and cultural exploration. Since 2014, our Grammarians have engaged passionately in this unique experience and cherished the connection we have with HAGAR Australia. Lara Dowd, a past parent, who worked for HAGAR for several years said, “I witnessed firsthand the incredible work [HAGAR] do in repairing [the] broken lives of women and children who have suffered the most horrific human rights abuse though human trafficking. MGGS and HAGAR’s relationship has been, from its inception, a most rewarding and meaningful partnership for both sides. The funds MGGS has raised have had an enormous impact. [Victims] are assigned a case worker, who remains with that individual for as long as it takes to repair their life. All aspects of their care – mental and physical health, housing, meals and education – are closely monitored. This unique HAGAR model has seen many survivors grow to become doctors, lawyers and educators ... who often return to volunteer in the program, completing the circle of care and hope.”
We wish our Grammarians well as they train for the Angkor Wat International Half Marathon which they will complete while there, and in their fundraising efforts for HAGAR. Their goal this year is to raise $35,000. If you would like to donate to their cause, or read more about HAGAR, you can visit their Run for Freedom page here.

These international programs offer students the chance to reflect on their own lives while gaining insight into the lives of others. While from the outside it may seem like travel, participants are engaging in lifelong learning, and understanding the power of contribution and perspective.

Through unique local, national and international experiences, students are exposed to a range of social contexts and challenges that support their personal development and develop a vital global perspective. These experiences are designed to be age-appropriate and build progressively, allowing students to grow in confidence, and maturity and embrace the importance of empathy and leadership.
Students like Lexi, Remy and Harriet demonstrate how these opportunities can be transformative – not only in what they give through volunteering and having a philanthropic mindset, but in what they learn about the world. We encourage our Grammarians to be active and ethical, approaching their lives with integrity, compassion, courage and self-discipline.
