Collegians

Who is an MLC Collegian?

Every young woman leaving MLC automatically becomes a Collegian.

The MLC Collegians is vast network of past students from MLC with a committee of women working throughout the year on various projects. The purpose of the committee is to:


· Connect the wider MLC community via networking opportunities and online database.

· Creating opportunities to reconnect with peers via functions/events and reunions.

· Fundraising to assist with financial aid for various projects.

In 2006, the President introduced a portfolio system, for which each committee member takes on an area of interest and reports back to the committee with a monthly update. Portfolio examples are:


· Scholarships

· Mentor Program

· Business Networking

· Events and Functions

· Communications including Website

· 'On the Green Couch" - newly added, see section on sidebar

And we're working on more great ideas such as:


· Peer Year Coordinators

· Year 12 Leavers' gift

· Finding Collegians to build up our database and awareness of the committee using social networking tools such as Facebook

The MLC Centenary took place in 2007 and was a huge year for the Collegians committee. Events included:


· MLC 100 Party

· Centenary Ball

· Collegians' Lunch

· Sculptures on the Green

The committee also commissioned a Bronze Statue as a gift to the school, which can be found outside the Library/Resource Centre. Congratulations and thanks to last year's committee for all their efforts, it was a very exciting Centenary year.
