Students from Kindergarten to Year 8 must reside with their parents in Australia. Where students in Year 9 to Year 12 are not in the care of a parent while living in Australia, the parent must provide, in writing, the nomination of a guardian who is over the age of 25 years and who will take guardianship responsibilities according to the MLC School Guardian Agreement. There must be a contact who can speak English available at all times.
