Aspiration and Purpose
Methodist Ladies' College has a character that has been defined over its history since 1907.
The College provides a high quality, broad education based on Christian beliefs and practice to girls and young women from diverse backgrounds.
It provides Australian and international students with life skills that enable them to participate fully in society, to achieve their personal best and to value life-long learning.
With the active support of all members of the school community, the College seeks to enhance the intellectual, emotional, physical, cultural and spiritual development of each student.
It also seeks to foster an ethos of mutual support and care and a commitment to the ideas of service, justice and peace, which are at the heart of the Christian faith.
