The ChapelThe Chapel at MLC is a refurbishment of the Boarders' Dining Room after a fire in 1977 destroyed the majority of the boarding house located in the original building on the corner of Park Road and Rowley Streets. The dining room was salvaged as a one-storey building and converted into a school Chapel. The beautiful stained glass windows are the commissioned work of former student Alison Brown '78. Every House in the School attends their House Chapel Service here on Sundays throughout the year and Year group Chapel is celebrated here during the week. It is a lovely welcoming place for individual quiet reflection and is also a place where the girls can gather with friends and the Chaplains at times when they need special support.
The Chapel is able to be booked for the weddings for former students and is a beautiful intimate venue able to seat up to 100 guests. MLC is also able to offer assistance with the preparation of the Order of Service and musical accompaniment. For enquires regarding booking the MLC School Chapel please contact
The Sutherland RoomsThe Sutherland Rooms are the former living and dining rooms of the original Principal's Residence on the ground floor of the Schofield Tower. They have been refurbished recently to provide formal meeting rooms for the School. Photographic portraits of all the Heads and Principals of MLC line the walls of one of the rooms, and informal scenes from college life from the late 1800s to the 1930s are the feature of the photographs in the other. Parents gather here after welcome chapel services, the MLC Auxiliary meet here, and some reunion groups are also able to gather here and on the Principal's Lawn.
