Girls at MLC School are encouraged to participate in a wide range of programs, clubs, committees and societies.

Getting involved is a great way to find a new interest or deepen an existing passion. By working with students outside of their peer group, MLC School students hope to better understand the world around them through the lens of the Round Square IDEALS and Discovery Framework.

Junior School Clubs (Year 3 to Year 5)

The following programs are offered to our youngest learners from Year 3 to Year 5.

Discovery Club (Year 4 and Year 5)

  • Leadership
  • Service

This Junior School club sees our girls collaborate to unpack and understand issues that we face both locally and globally by capitalising on our connections with other Round Square schools.
