Student Leadership

When we ask our girls what leadership at the College looks like to them, the resounding response is empowerment. We do not take a one-size-fits-all approach to our student leadership structure and recognise that everyone will have a different experience. Leadership takes all shapes and forms; you do not need a badge or title to lead. Our girls are encouraged to accept every challenge, embrace every opportunity and if invited to lead formally at school, to make the position their own. Leadership takes courageous and bold action and provides girls with the chance to get out of their comfort zone and push the boundaries of what they thought they were capable of.

Student Leadership

Being able to imagine, motivate and lead change is one of the most valuable attributes in business and life beyond our College. During their time at MLC, each girl is presented with the opportunity to explore student leadership in school. This offers them a chance to work together and lift each other up. Among other benefits, leadership:

• Builds their confidence
• Encourages teamwork
• Builds their capacity to make a positive contribution to their community
• Prepares them for the ‘real world’
• Enhances employability skills for the future

Collaboration at the Forefront

The best part about student leadership at MLC is the opportunity for students of all ages to collaborate. Younger student leaders get to work with older student leaders, helping build their confidence and teamwork skills.

Collaboration is a key focus in our student leadership program because every girl brings something different to the table. Each has their own unique skillset and through open communication, our students bring the best out of one another.
