About Us
At Melbourne Girls Grammar we empower young women to do anything they set their minds to.
ABOUT the ARTEMIS centre
The Artemis Centre plays a pivotal role by providing students at Melbourne Girls Grammar with a world-class purpose-built facility that celebrates holistic learning and provides a home for our sport, fitness and wellbeing programs.
Whilst the Artemis Centre is for the use of our students during school hours, outside of these hours the centre transforms into a community hub accessible to all.
Located in the heart of South Yarra the Artemis Centre offers community swimming, gymnastics and holiday programs and spaces within the facility are available to hire.
We also have established relationships with like-minded community organisations, clubs and service providers and since opening our doors in 2017 we have had elite level netball, AFLW and water polo programs use our facility.
Visit our programs and facility hire pages to find out how you can become part of the Artemis Community.
Our People
Executive Director, Artemis Programs
Sally Bailey is a physical performance coach whose scope of professional experience extends from development level through to world championship and Olympic athletes across a range of individual and team sports, programs, and organisational pathways.
She has worked in numerous world championship and Olympic campaigns in three different sports (cricket, diving and swimming), and has taken the lessons learnt from running a business and working in high performance programs and tailored her approach within a school environment.
This has resulted in building athletic development and physical wellbeing programs from the ground up in both a boys and girls school.
Different environments, shared philosophical foundations and a desire to make a positive difference to the relationship our youth have with physical activity, training and performance.
