available access to information via technology, what will the<br />

purpose of schools be in the future? Now more than ever, we<br />

must engage with the future of schools. What is it that<br />

students need from school that is not readily available via the<br />

internet or an online course from an overseas university or<br />

social media? They want real time high-energy engagement.<br />

They need real-life high relevance experiences.<br />

Leadership...<br />

Our challenge is how to prepare our girls for leadership in a<br />

changing environment. To do so we must analyse the major<br />

global trends reshaping future directions and be ready to take<br />

a radical jump. Despite the ever-changing world we live in,<br />

with rapid developments in technology and globalisation, the<br />

character attributes of leadership are timeless. Leaders make<br />

good things happen and their actions multiply possibilities<br />

for others. Integrity is uppermost and is one of MLC School’s<br />

inherent values.<br />

The MLC School Results Statistics 2002 – 2010<br />

In the 2010 November examinations, four perfect scores (45)<br />

were achieved from the 36 candidates; 20 candidates scored<br />

40 or above.<br />

The average MLC School <strong>IB</strong> diploma score is 36 converting to<br />

a UAC rank (or ATAR equivalent) of 94.15.<br />

Thirteen students have scored maximum points, a ‘perfect’<br />

<strong>IB</strong> diploma score, of 45.<br />

32% of MLC School <strong>IB</strong> diploma candidates have scored a<br />

University Admissions Centre (UAC) rank or Australian<br />

Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR) equivalent of 99.0+.<br />

82% of <strong>IB</strong> diploma candidates have scored a UAC rank or<br />

ATAR equivalent of 90.0+.<br />

Not surprisingly the growth and reputation of the <strong>IB</strong><br />

diploma at MLC School, in fact Australia-wide, has resulted in<br />

its popular acceptance. MLC has graduated 185 <strong>IB</strong> diploma<br />

candidates with another 72 girls enrolled currently. About<br />

30% of MLC girls now choose this alternative curriculum.<br />

Remarkably MLC School has had two former students awarded<br />

consecutively (2007 and 2008) as Rhodes Scholars, perhaps the<br />

world’s most prestigious international graduate scholarship.<br />

Their opportunity for post-graduate study at the University of<br />

Oxford was awarded for scholastic attainment, breadth of talent,<br />

social contribution to those in need and instinctive leadership.<br />
