Why support Mac.Rob?
Since opening in 1934 - almost 90 years ago - Mac.Rob has left an indelible mark on the countless students who have passed through our halls. We are a unique and important part of Victoria’s educational system, providing opportunities and enrichment for young women and gender-diverse young people, and our students become incredible contributors to their communities and leaders in their fields.
We help to shape these future leaders by creating a strong sense of belonging, fostering a love of deep, curious, and creative learning, and developing each student as a whole person through participation in diverse co-curricular and leadership programs. Many past students tell us that their lives were transformed through their experiences here.
As our historic campus nears its centenary, we are constantly seeking ways to ensure our learning environment enhances the learning and experiences of our students. As educators, we want to provide facilities that match the capabilities of our students. We are continually challenged by the costs of modernising and improving our ageing buildings and grounds. The heritage listing of the school leads to significantly higher costs than other schools.
The Mac.Rob Building Fund allows our community to help contribute to the improvement and restoration of our school’s historic facilities and buildings.
Boundary Fence Project.
In 2024 - after a significant investment of time and much hard work - were were excited to announce we had secured all of the necessary approvals to proceed with the construction of a new boundary fence. Given our proximity to Kings Way, one of Melbourne’s busiest roads, and the publicly-accessible Albert Park Lake, golf course, and sports centres, a fence along our front front boundary has long been sought to improve the safety of students and staff.
Now, with the completion of the boundary fence, we are thrilled to say that it has already made a substantial difference to the wellbeing and security of our students. Two of our Year 9 students, Aarya and Diti, have a special message for the friends, families, and community members who supported our EOFY fundraising initiative and contributed to the construction of this invaluable new addition to our grounds.
Building Fund.
Every donation to the Building Funds contributes directly towards projects or upgrades identified by students and the Mac.Rob School Council as being beneficial to the education and wellbeing of our student. The maintenance of our historic campus is an ongoing project, and we are constantly seeking ways to provide our students with improved communal spaces, classrooms, and grounds where they can socialise, engage, and learn. A donation to the Building Fund will help ensure that generations of Mac.Robbians have access to the best teaching, learning, and wellbeing facilities possible.
