2025 MLC Foundation Gala: Light Her Way

We would like to take a moment to acknowledge our 2025 MLC Foundation Gala sponsors. The Gala would not be possible without the support of so many MLC families and local businesses, and their generous donation of goods, services and sponsorship. Their support means the funds raised by the 2026 Tuition Fee Raffle, live auction and Table of Light go directly to the Foundation to support MLC and its students, now and in the future.

Gala Photo Gallery

The professional photos for Gala are here and they’re stunning! Whether you attended or not, please enjoy the incredible images of our transformed Meredith Taylor Health and Sports Centre, the performers and the beautiful MLC Community.

Please use the code ‘5877’ to view the gallery as a guest.

  • 101 Construction

    In a city crowded with builders, 101 Construction set out in 2017 with a distinct mission: to establish a reliable, professional and quality-assured construction company in the Perth market.

    Our journey began with a $10 million renovation in Applecross, followed by a high-profile fit-out for the US Consulate in Wuhan, China, directly contracted by the American Government. These landmark projects confirmed that we were building something meaningful.

    Drawing on decades of industry experience and trusted relationships across Perth’s construction sector, we have earned a reputation not only as Master Builders but as a proven, professional team committed to bringing our clients’ visions to life. Every project we undertake is personal — we pour our energy, skill and heart into the work. It’s this dedication, combined with our tailored management approach, that has established us as one of Perth’s most respected and fast-growing construction firms.

    What sets us apart is our broad industry experience and the strong partnerships we have built over years of committed work. These relationships with Perth’s most skilled and passionate professionals ensure reliability and quality on every job — something that can only be developed with time and trust.

    Our open, honest approach to business reflects both our grassroots New Zealand trade upbringing and Perth’s close-knit way of doing business. This foundation has led to our successful inclusion on the Government Panel of Builders for the Department of Housing as well as the Department of Finance for Major and Minor Works.

    At 101 Construction, we believe you’re only as good as your last job. We treat every project as if it were our own, ensuring our clients feel valued, heard, and understood. It’s why our long-standing clients return to us time and again, and why referrals continue to drive our growth year after year.

  • Little Things Gin

    Spirit of Little Things was conceived by three mates who dreamt of producing small-batch artisan gin with a unique Australian fingerprint.

    It was primarily a venture that kept many friends well-stocked in gin (delicious gin, if we may say so). But as word spread and more people tried the product, they realised they were onto something pretty special and that this gin had to be taken to the world.

    Little Things launched its core gin range into the Western Australian market in October 2019, and the team set up production in an urban distillery located in Perth’s western suburbs in June 2021. In September of 2021, they opened the distillery door, where customers have enjoyed great gin, tastings, cocktails, food, and events ever since!
