MLC is one of Australia's most successful and innovative schools (est.1882) internationally renowned for its extensive curriculum, learning experiences and outstanding academic results. MLC is an open entry school that takes pride in the great diversity of its students. As an internationally minded school MLC is committed to providing our students with an outstanding education within a challenging, enriching and supportive learning environment which develops confident and articulate young women who have the skills, values and attitudes needed to shape their future and contribute meaningfully to the wider community. Whilst MLC offers big school opportunities we also provide small school care and attention so every student feels valued. Our dedicated staff build on the aptitudes and learning styles of each student, instilling a passion for learning in a culture of respect. MLC creates leadership opportunities at all levels with students taking responsibility for decision making (we encourage young minds to be inspired, independent and resourceful). MLC has 2200 students in four schools, over 110 boarding students and an innovative early learning centre, MLC Kindle (6 weeks to 4 years) which is guided by the Reggio Emilia approach. Our comprehensive and world class approach to Education Outdoors is featured in our MLC Banksia (Years 5-8) and MLC Marshmead (Year 9) remote sites. The sequential experiential programs offered enable students to develop a profound appreciation of our precious natural environment and develop the skills and understanding required to live sustainably. MLC continues to set the benchmark for academic and teaching excellence, the integration of technology in education (Notebook program from Years 5-12) and curriculum innovation. MLC believes that learning is most effective when it is in partnership with parents and students and when the growth and development of the whole person is a priority in guiding practice. Students learn best when they are engaged and challenged to move into new areas..
