High-Performance Sporting Pathways at our Perth Private High School

High-Performance Sporting Pathways at MLC

At MLC, we believe sport plays a vital role in supporting student wellbeing and developing essential life skills such as resilience, confidence and initiative. Research shows that girls who stay engaged in sport are more likely to take on leadership roles and experience professional success later in life. That’s why we’re committed to fostering sporting opportunities that promote both participation and performance from Junior Years right through to graduation.

About the High-Performance Fund

To support our students who compete at an elite level and aspire them to continue their sporting journey beyond school, MLC offers access to a High-Performance Fund. Established with the support of the College and our generous donors, the fund helps offset the costs associated with high-level training and competition such as travel, coaching and equipment.

Eligibility and Application

Students in Years 6–11 (as of 31 December 2025) can apply for support through the fund, including those yet to commence at MLC (subject to confirmed enrolment). Applicants must currently be competing in their chosen sport and have achieved one of the following accolades in the past 12 months:

Selection to represent Australia or Western Australia (including School Sport teams)
Membership in a nationally or State-endorsed squad
Competition at a national level event
Individual medallist at a State Championship

At MLC, we don’t just want girls to play sport—we want them to stay in sport. And to do this, they need to be supported every step of the way.
