Celebrating Academic Excellence

MLC Collegians Evelyn and Shannon have a chat to our 2021 Academic Prefect Maya about their recent results in the WACE exams. They both received a perfect score of 99.95, placing them as two of the top 14 students in the state. For this pair of exceptional students, life throughout school was more than just study, they spoke about the importance of spending time with friends and family and really enjoying everything that MLC had to offer.

Our 2021 College Themes
