This term, I visited the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA) in Canberra for their annual Open Day, a chance to explore life at ADFA and learn about Navy, Army, and Air Force pathways. From aviation presentations to robotics clubs and theatre groups, the day showcased the dynamic blend of academic rigour and military training that shapes Australia\u2019s future Defence leaders.<\/p>\n

But the true highlight was unexpectedly reconnecting with MLC School Old Girl Elizabeth Wilkie<\/strong> (2023). Seeing Elizabeth thriving as an ADFA cadet was both inspiring and heartwarming, a reminder of the strength of our MLC School community and the exciting paths our graduates pursue.<\/p>\n

Elizabeth shared insights into her journey, the culture of leadership and service at ADFA, and the resilience required in Defence careers. Her story brought the experience to life and made the visit feel personal and powerful.<\/p>\n

For any Old Girl curious about aviation, service, or simply catching up with familiar faces in extraordinary places, ADFA is worth the visit.<\/p>\n
