Mount Gambier High School

🌟 Happy SSO Week! 🌟

This week, we’re celebrating the incredible impact of our School Services Officers (SSOs) at MGHS! Our SSOs go above and beyond every single day—supporting students and staff, creating a positive school environment, and helping our site run smoothly.

While a message or a single week can’t capture everything you do, we want to say a huge THANK YOU to each and every SSO. Your dedication, kindness, and effort make a real difference in our community.

Thank you for all you do!

🎉 Happy 75th Birthday, Mr Roulstone! 🎉

Today we celebrate a very special member of our MGHS community, our long-serving and much-loved teacher, Mr Roulstone! For decades, Rouley has inspired, supported, and shaped generations of students with his passion for teaching and his unwavering commitment to our school.

Thank you, Mr Roulstone, for everything you do. Wishing you the happiest of birthdays and a wonderful year ahead!

🏄‍♂️🌊 Surf’s Up at Cape Bridgewater! 🌊🏄‍♀️

In Week 8, our Year 12 Outdoor Education and Physical Education students braved the winter chill for an unforgettable surfing excursion at Cape Bridgewater! Not only did everyone manage to stand up on their boards (huge achievement!), but the day was made even more memorable by a surprise visit from a friendly local seal who joined in the fun with our group.

The focus wasn’t just on riding waves, students also explored environmental conservation and reflected on their performance, building skills and knowledge in a real-world setting. The team spirit, perseverance, and positivity on display, especially in tough, cold conditions 🥶❄️🧊 was inspiring.

A special shoutout to Mr Peach for leading the way and showing off some impressive surf moves 🏄‍♂️🌊💪
