History & Heritage

MLC is more than just a school. Since our earliest days, we have championed the very best in all-girls’ education. From the outset, our students experienced rigorous academics alongside the character, leadership and service values they would carry into the world — facing life with integrity, courage and resourcefulness. Our journey has sometimes been challenging, but it has always been inspiring.

OUR TIMELINE

The Future is Bright

MLC has stood for almost 120 years. Through two World Wars, the Depression, typhoid outbreaks and two pandemics, our journey has at times been challenging — but it has always been inspiring. We are blessed with the most beautiful surrounds, but the inner beauty is what is most important. The many students, families, staff and alumni who all make up the MLC Community make us who we are today.

We can boast several Olympians and Commonwealth competitors, the earliest medical graduates and musicians, and graduates of theatre arts, science, engineering and technology. Most of all, we can confidently say that every student who has come to MLC has left feeling supported in whichever direction they choose and will carry on the values through which MLC was founded. We truly are a school for everyone, no matter where they come from or when they arrived.
