An inner city girls' school will fly the rainbow flag in Melbourne to show its support for the same-sex attracted and gender diverse community.

Greens MP Adam Bandt purchased the flag after putting a call out for donations last month so schools could fly the flag in support of young lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and inter-sex (LGBTQI) people.

Melbourne Girls' College in Richmond will raise the flag when school resumes from holidays.

Year 12 student Naida Sheriff said she was β€œincredibly enthusiastic” her school would fly the rainbow flag. β€œIt's something we've wanted for a long time and to have it is beyond fantastic,” she said.
