Morongo Girls' College

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

Morongo, 1863

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