MLC School, located 11 kilometres from Sydney’s CBD, is a pre
kindergarten to Year 12 Uniting Church school with a current
enrolment of 1200 girls. Established in 1886, the school has a
strong, and yet radical tradition of educating women for
academic opportunity; women who will strive for excellence in
everything they do.
Offering the International Baccalaureate Diploma
Programme as an option for senior girls, demonstrates MLC
School’s commitment to international standards of excellence
and to portability as the characteristics that benchmark the
best schools in the world.
At MLC School we understand that a quality education
means much more than strong academic results. It’s about
placing each girl at the heart of learning where they develop
the skills, knowledge, attitudes and the flexibility to handle
new ideas. Our girls make the most of new opportunities and
embrace change.
At MLC School our students have the confidence to be
themselves in a learning environment that celebrates their
diversity. There is no typical MLC School girl. Her heritage is
multicultural Australia; she lives in the Asia Pacific Region
and she has a local and a global consciousness. It is this
unique strength that empowers our girls to shape their
journey into adulthood and achieve their goals.
Our vision is of a dynamic community of learners, operating
within a broader learning community. Our dream is for the

who will know it is possible to improve our world.
Teachers
Of the top ten reasons parents choose MLC School, Sydney,
inspiring, quality teaching staff is ranked number one. A welldeserved
ranking but it goes further than that. Parents know
that the quality of the relationships teachers and support staff
develop with their daughters makes all the difference.
Teaching staff work to engender each girls’ level of
engagement, sense of belonging, sense of purpose and self
belief, all leading to success. It’s a success embodied in our
strong commitment to excellence.
Learning
It is now a well established pattern of MLC School culture to
invite students to participate in key decision making
processes; to provide education with a focus on flexible
learning and innovation; to offer one-to-the-world digital
wireless laptop computer access any time, anywhere. These
are paradigm shifts from teaching a class in a classroom to
helping each student negotiate their learning decisions and
connect with teachers and learners all over the world. We
know, as a consequence, our students are more engaged in
their school and have a stronger sense of themselves as
learners and contributors to their world.
