Canterbury Girls' Secondary College

Canterbury Girls' Secondary College has built and maintained a reputation for excellence in the provision of education for girls. Students learn in an environment that encourages high achievement in all endeavours and which values effort and diligence. The College places great emphasis on students working to achieve their very best, on students challenging themselves and on seizing all opportunities open to them. As a learning community, we set high expectations for staff and students alike and provide a learning environment which facilitates the best possible outcome for all students. The school was opened in 1928 in the red brick building that it shared with East Camberwell Elementary School until the 1940s. In those days it was called East Camberwell Girls' School, but was often referred to as Mangarra. This name was adopted by the former students' association when it was re-established during the Colleges' Diamond Jubilee year. Mangarra Society The Mangarra Society: School Alumni are in the process of databasing EVERY graduating student from the grand opening in 1928 to today. We want to ensure that as many past students and teachers as possible have the oppurtunity to engage with the Society and network we offer. www.facebook.com/themangarrasociety
