The Study of Life 
Amid the bleaching sheep bones on a drought-stricken farm, a mob of kangaroos shelters under an old paddock tree.
As a farmer, you bemoan the lack of rain and your loss of stock.
As an artist, you admire the dappled light, and the transitional colour tones reflected in the settling dust.
As a biologist, you wonder why there are no kangaroos under a distant tree. Why are there no young saplings? Has the creek been dammed further upstream?

As a biologist, you learn to question, investigate and better appreciate the natural world.

With today's progress in biotechnology, genetically modified sheep can better withstand drought and produce a full wool clip with less feed; 'executed criminals' have been proven innocent of their former crimes; tomatoes use Arctic salmon genes to produce their own anti-freeze, and the list goes on.

At MLC, Year 11 and 12 biology students study the life around them, enabling them to discuss and understand the issues of the future.
