\"\"<\/strong>As I reflect on the last 10 weeks, I am filled with pride at the energy, creativity, and care that define our School community. From the iconic Opera House concert to the Prescott Puppy Pageant, our students have embraced every opportunity to grow, lead, and shine. These moments are more than events\u2014they are expressions of our values and the spirit of MLC School, and part of our rich history.<\/p>\n

At both the Alumnae Awards Dinner and the School reunions I was struck by the number of times that our Old Girls referred to the fact that through their schooling at MLC School, they grew up knowing that they could do anything that they set their minds to. They were free from the stereotypes and limitations in society that they first encountered at university or work. As one Old Girl said, ‘by the time someone tried to tell me I couldn\u2019t<\/em>, I already knew that I could’.<\/em> The importance of that sense of self cannot be underestimated and is at the core of our call for every girl to \u2018Dare to be More\u2019<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to the 2025 Alumnae Award Winners<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Friday 2 May, members of the MLC School community gathered to recognise the achievements of some of our most outstanding Old Girls.<\/p>\n

The MLC School Alumnae Awards started in 2020 and aim to celebrate Old Girls who are prepared to think differently; have courage and conviction; and lead with passion.<\/p>\n

There are MLC School Alumnae Awards and Young Alumnae Awards (for those under the age of 40 years) for those shown to have made a significant impact in their field of endeavour in one or more of the award categories:<\/p>\n

We congratulate the following 2025 award recipients:<\/p>\n
