Middle School students are provided with an abundance of choice, giving them ownership of their studies and opportunities to develop real world skills.
Our Year 9 Wood Building is reopening in 2021 after a complete refurbishment, which will include flexible, collaborative spaces and adjoining amphitheatre and garden spaces.
Our Year 9 students have the opportunity to experience MLC Marshmead, our eight-week residential program in East Gippsland, developing the skills, knowledge, independence and attitude to live sustainably.
As students move into Year 10, we encourage each student to stretch and challenge themselves. Through vast subject breadth, it’s a chance for students to explore new pathways and start the process of identifying what their strengths and interests are, so that they can make informed choices about their senior pathways in VCE, VCE VET or IB.
Students’ wellbeing is a very open and authentic conversation, and are provided with extensive support through staff, programs and workshops.

MLC Marshmead
One of the defining times of Middle School is the opportunity to experience MLC Marshmead, our dedicated off-campus living experience - often spoken about by the students for many years afterwards! For eight weeks, a group of Year 9 students live together, learning about themselves, their community and the environment.

Wellbeing
Middle School students are at an age where they are beginning to pave their own pathways. MLC understands that girls need special care to help them leap ahead in learning and in life, whatever their interests and talents. We have specialised programs that help girls foster their independence and understand decision making, especially as they head into Senior School.
