Congratulations to the Class of 2023
The School applauds all the students from the Class of 2023.
Year 12 is about so much more than the final exams. Our Year 12 students were involved and committed leaders who helped shape the life and culture of the School. We look forward to following their journey as Old Girls.
For over 20 years, MLC School has offered students the option to complete their study via the Higher School Certificate or the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program. In 2023, the IB cohort was the School’s biggest yet, with more than 50% of Year 12 students participating.
Here are some highlights of achievements by students:
