Known as The City School for Girls, the Academy of Mary Immaculate is located just opposite the Melbourne Museum. The City of Melbourne has been our classroom for 168 years.  

Our flagship program, Year 9 Synergy, focuses on the dynamic changes that students can create. Synergy immerses students in the city of Melbourne, they discover what “their” Melbourne looks like, what challenges are being faced in the City and how can they contribute to the future of Melbourne.  

The Synergy classroom is a future focussed collaborative classroom, set up to prioritise creativity and adaptability. A Synergy term begins with an intentional exploration of the concepts of teamwork and collaboration, encouraging self-discovery as a learner while embracing the opportunity to both challenge and be challenged. 

It’s a space where an Academy student begins to truly understand their place in the city as they unpack the history, culture and challenges of being a Melburnian.  

In 2025 the Synergy Program will be launched with a new direction, set to inspire and empower the next generation of learners in the City of Melbourne. The new program focusses on design thinking, integrating real-world learning opportunities with critical thinking and creativity in the classroom setting of the city.
