From Student Representative Council to orchestra to student publications to debating team, co-curricular activities have long been recognised as a way for students to indulge a passion, try a new skill, learn and develop leadership, social, and organisational skills and to provide service to the School and community. At MLC our co-curricular activities and programs provide valuable learning experiences through practical situations involving teamwork, sportsmanship, winning and losing and hard work. It is through the experiences that challenge our sense of the safe and predictable that we grow. With so many girls so actively and successfully involved in such a wide range of activities it's not hard to resist the notion that the success of our school might be accurately estimated by anything as narrowly academic as statistical processes. Our philosophy has been unashamedly one that full engagement in the life of the school will develop well-rounded, confident, ethical, articulate resourceful young women. Impressed by what we can achieve, we set out to conquer more, feeling self confident, even inspired. At MLC we encourage girls to step out of their comfort zone. While we celebrate their many successes we applaud more loudly those who dare to take the risks along the way.
