Our sporting culture thrives on competition, teamwork and individual achievement. With a proud history of success, our Collegian network includes numerous Olympians and State and National representatives. Whether for recreation or elite competition, we empower students to embrace the outcomes of MLC sport: a strong sense of belonging, the drive to embrace challenges, the determination to strive for excellence, and a foundation of mutual respect both on and off the field.
At MLC, sport goes beyond physical fitness – it builds confidence, determination and leadership, equipping our girls with the skills needed for lifelong success. We are dedicated to supporting and growing sporting opportunities throughout the school years and beyond to ensure our students not only play sport but stay in sport.
Research shows that girls who engage in sport are more likely to take on leadership roles and experience career success, with a direct correlation between participation in sport and future professional achievements.
As part of our Strategic Plan, Shaping Futures: MLC 2030, Sporting Excellence at MLC is driven by three key programs:
| High Performance Pathways | Professional Partnerships | Participation to Podium |
|---|---|---|
| Tailored support for elite and developing athletes. | Collaborations with industry and sporting bodies to elevate student success. | Strengthening MLC's IGSSA, JIGSSA and club programs to bring athletes to the podium. |
