Morongo Girls' College

Morongo, 1863

Morongo Girls' College was a Presbyterian school for girls, founded in 1920 on Bell Post Hill near Geelong, on the site of an original homestead (called Morongo).[1]

The founding Principal was Miss Gertrude Pratt BA, the second Principal was Miss Shaw BA (Qld)and Miss Dulcie Brookshaw was the third headmistress. The fourth and final headmistress was Mrs Judith Watt.

Morongo provided a good solid education where women were encouraged to excel in all fields.

Morongo Girls' College closed at the end of 1994,[2] and the site is now occupied by Kardinia International College. A book on the school's history was commissioned and published by the school council in 1969.[3]

Morongo Girls' College was associated with Geelong College. The Geelong College is now the care taker of artefacts from Morongo. [4]

Famous old girls include Rebecca Maddern [5] and Disability Advocate, Rosemary Crossley [6]
