MLC looks to the future
A new era of leadership has been marked at Methodist Ladies' College with the commencement of Principal Rebecca Cody.
On behalf of MLC Council and the College community, Chair of Council Professor Lesley Parker warmly welcomed Ms Cody as the new Principal, stating that her selection was the outcome of an extremely rigorous national and international search process, and that she was the standout applicant in a field of very strong and experienced educators.
Professor Parker said Ms Cody brings an infusion of youth and energy to the role of MLC Principal and she was poised to take the College forward.
As a graduate of an independent girls' school and committed advocate of single-sex education, Ms Cody is honoured to lead the outstanding school for girls. She relishes the opportunity to embrace the role and its responsibilities with the drive and vision that students deserve. Her approach will be to offer leadership that is transparent, motivating and collegial.
The priority for the Principal will be to remain focused on advancing student achievements and supporting girls' wellbeing, thereby strengthening MLC's standing as a pre-eminent school in Australia. MLC will continue to provide holistic opportunities that enable all girls to reach their potential within a safe environment.
Students and staff will be supported by Ms Cody to always give their best, and she will work to ensure an environment that applauds individual excellence, and celebrates diversity.
The motivating question for the College will be, "How can we best prepare our girls for life beyond MLC?" To answer this, Ms Cody anticipates MLC will treasure the traditions of the school, whilst embracing and adopting innovative initiatives in teaching and learning.
