Methodist Ladies' College Mission Statement

At MLC, we are committed to providing a challenging, enriching and supportive learning environment, which develops confident and articulate young women who have the skills, knowledge, values and attitudes needed to shape their future and contribute meaningfully to the international community.

We will remain at the forefront of education and maintain our Christian heritage while respecting the spirituality and other faiths of our community.

Through involvement in the total life of the College we will encourage each member of our community:

• To gain a sense of excitement in learning and develop the ability and initiative to apply what is learned.
• To develop high self esteem, optimism and a commitment to personal excellence.
• To sustain an individual point of view, while respecting the rights and beliefs of others.
• To provide opportunities for students to participate actively in decision making.
• To gain knowledge of the religious and ethical heritage of human kind.
• To embrace diversity and live by a set of values consistent with the Christian faith.
• To develop a sense of cultural heritage and an understanding and appreciation of the multi-cultural nature of Australian society and its place in the world.
• To develop a strong sense of social justice which translates into commitment to community service and action.
• To deepen students’ knowledge and understanding of the continuing contribution of women to the world and equip each to become full, equal and active members of our changing society.
• To develop an appreciation of the physical environment and to understand the part each individual plays in sustaining and protecting the planet.
