MLC School Girls Achieve

MLC School is proudly non-selective and our girls achieve at the highest level in academia, sport and the arts.

MLC School alumnae are pioneers and frontrunners in fields as diverse as science, the arts, politics, sport, medicine, the media, academia, business and the law. They have continued their studies at prestigious educational institutions such as the Universities of Cambridge, Oxford, Harvard, Stanford and Princeton, the Juilliard School and the London School of Music.

In sport, alumnae are national, regional and competition champions. Our musicians dazzle audiences with concerts at the Sydney Opera House and the Town Hall and go on to exciting careers. Our co-curricular programs continue to thrive and grow exponentially every year, supporting students to develop character, take risks and challenge themselves beyond the classroom. 

In line with our tradition of being leaders and innovators in girls education, MLC School was one of the earliest in NSW to offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme to all students in Year 11 and Year 12 as an alternative to the Higher School Certificate (HSC). With a track record in the IB Diploma Programme over 20 years, the programme is mature and ingrained in the School's offering. 

Both the HSC and IB Diploma provide a rigorous academic pathway to tertiary education around Australia and internationally. The IB Diploma Programme is suitable for those who enjoy a broad range of subjects including a language; while the HSC provides students with the capacity to dive more deeply into a particular field of study (for instance adding a number of science or history units for example).

MLC School provides an extensive subject selection process for all students in Year 10. This supports students to make the choice for their future.
