Former Marlborough Girls College Students are thriving in tertiary education both in New Zealand and around the world.

Stephie Loncar

Graduated MGC in 2016

Successful Scientist Stephie Loncar completed an undergraduate Degree in Anatomy at Otago University before being accepted into the prestigious Master’s in Forensic Anthropology at the University of Dundee in Scotland. She was one of only 10 people from around the globe to be accepted into Dundee’s Master’s in Forensic Anthropology course each year.

Whilst in Dundee Stephie won all three top awards during her time on the programme, including the ‘Best Project for Forensic Anthropology’, ‘Best Student for Forensic Anthropology’, and the coveted Scheuer Medal which she jointly won alongside her close college friend. Otago University is now lucky to have Stephie back in New Zealand and working as a member of their staff.
