MHS Associations
MHS Old Boys
The MHSOBA is an organisation that aims to assist the School and former students. Many of its members give expert advice when called upon; others provide services to the School. Membership can help students survive and thrive throughout their university and working life. It is a unique opportunity to contribute and network. We encourage all current and former students to become members of the MHSOBA to help ensure that these strong associations with the School are maintained and our provision of quality programs can continue.

MHS Foundation
The Melbourne High School Foundation is the fundraising arm of Melbourne High School and is a not-for-profit company. Government funds do not cover the cost of providing the exceptional education for which Melbourne High School is known. The mission of the Foundation is to provide assistance to MHS; in particular to past, present and future students and staff. The Foundation also focuses on building and fostering our relationships with donors and members of the community.
The MHS School Foundation supports Melbourne High School in maintaining the quality of its programs and facilities into the future. The Foundation provides a range of tax-deductible opportunities which will directly benefit the students and programs of Melbourne High School. We thank you for your contribution in the past and hope that you will continue to help us secure the education of our students and the integrity of the ‘Castle on the Hill’ by supporting the Annual Appeal.
