MLC offers an enormous range of extra activities and clubs for students to pursue their interests and take on leadership opportunities. There are also outstanding opportunities for music tuition, bands, orchestras, choirs and performances, school camps and Duke of Edinburgh.

MLC’s aim is to give every student the care needed to achieve her best possible, ENTER, whatever her ability, and to find a tertiary program that matches her skills and interests.

The Magic of Marshmead
Ask any new Year 7 student why they chose MLC and they'll always mention Marshmead, MLC's remote facility near Mallacoota. Here in the beautiful Croajingolong National Park, Year 9 students live in households of eight for a term, gain a strong sense of independence and responsibility, practise problem solving and communication skills they’ll need through life, and study their environment and renewable energy. What an experience!
