"This winning performance by the ‘Hot Rockers' is a testament to the commitment of both students and staff involved in the program and I am very proud of their achievement. Positive attitudes to physical wellbeing and fitness are an important priority for Mentone Girls' Grammar, as is our emphasis on creativity, innovation and participation.  It is great to see girls making the most of these opportunities and working together to achieve at such high levels," said Principal Reddan.
