Individual learning MLC students love feeling safe and secure. At each year level we have sensitive wellbeing programs, activities for extension and, a Special Education Department, to ensure the individual learning needs of every student are met. Subject diversity MLC students love multiple choices. MLC’s size allows it to provide unequalled curriculum choice. With up to 80 subjects offered in senior school, and the choice of three pathways: International Baccalaureate (IB), VCE or VCE VET, students can afford to be selective about the subjects they study. Average class size MLC’s staff to student ratio of 1:9 compares favourably with our peers who operate in the 1:10 or 1:11 range. Our caring and specialised staff ensure each student feels valued and cared for. Quality staff MLC staff love what they do which inspires a love of learning in their students. Professional development is a focus. Staff regularly attend international educational conferences and are frequently sought as presenters at events. Individual character development Students flourish with the choice of co-curricular activities including sports, indigenous and community initiatives, music, drama and a wide variety of clubs. The MLC Banksia and MLC Marshmead education outdoor experiences encourage resourcefulness and an appreciation of environmental issues.
