Welcome

Introduction

At MGGS, we know that an arts-rich education helps to shape students into confident, action-oriented individuals with problem-solving mindsets. Through our classroom-based and co-curricular programs, our Grammarians develop the ability to adapt and apply their skills and knowledge to address unfamiliar situations and new ways of working.

MGGS has a strong artistic history with high participation across a range of artistic initiatives and opportunities provided throughout their time at the ELC, Morris Hall and Merton Hall. These experiences are designed to increase their appreciation for and aspirations to explore the Arts.

This edition of the Information Exchange (IE) celebrates excellence in the Arts at MGGS and explores the impact our Grammarians have made in creative industries locally and around the world. As we delve into the achievements of these current and past Grammarians and the support and inspiration provided by staff, we consider how the strong foundation we continue to build, empowers future generations of Grammarians to uncover their creative potential.
