Our 140th Is Nearly Here: Don’t Miss the Celebrations
140 Years of Walking in the Light
It’s finally here! Next Friday 1 May 2026, MLC School will officially mark our 140th birthday – and we can’t wait to celebrate with our community.
Whether you can join us for one moment or the whole day, we are welcoming current parents, grandparents, current students, Old Girls, boarders, former parents and former staff back to campus for a joyful milestone of reflection, connection and shared memories. If you’re in touch with former families or staff, please pass this on.
It’s not too late to RSVP!
Please book into the events you’re able to attend throughout the day, so we can welcome you well. Come for Chapel, drop in for the Assembly, bring a blanket for the Junior School picnic lunch, or stay for it all.
