The college used the buildings of the former Richmond Secondary College, which had been closed in 1992 by the Kennett government. Although the college was established as an entirely new school, with a unique identity and mission, many of the founding staff and the initial intake of students, came from three other schools which had been closed by the Kennett government: Richmond Girls' High School, Malvern Girls' High School, and Richmond Secondary College. The founding principal was Cavell Zangalis, previously the principal of Richmond Girls' High School. The school was founded  on the former site of Richmond Secondary College. From 1995, Jan Parkes led the college for over seven years, developing it into an innovative educational institution. In 2002, a new principal, Judy Crowe, made changes to the curriculum structure and oversaw the development of several new facilities. The current principal, Karen Money, joined the college in 2015. In 2016, Melbourne Girls’ College initiated a S.T.E.A.M program. This program is designed to promote Science, Technologies, Engineering, The Arts and Mathematics across the school and as a career pathway. Extracurricular programs run by the college include Australian Airforce Cadets, aerobics, environment, instrumental  music, dance and a Confucius Classroom. In 2020, Melbourne Girls' College was ranked ninth out of all state secondary schools in Victoria, based on VCE results.
