High Potential Learning

During the first week of this term, eight selected Year 9 and Year 10 students participated in the Sydney Philosothon at Newington College. Participating students engaged in socratic dialogues with sixteen other Sydney schools around a range of philosophical topics, including, most notably, whether happiness was the highest form of societal good.

MLC School performed in an excellent manner and came in the top three in the event; thereby automatically qualifying for the National Philosothon competition.

Please congratulate our 2026 MLC School Sydney Philosothon team members:

Clare Wei (Year 9), Anna Poortvliet (Year 9), Sophia Clarke (Year 9), Camille Sheehan (Year 9) , Rima Zhang (Year 10), Madeleine Girgis (Year 10), Melisande Pitman (Year 10) and Bridget Cortis-Jones (Year 10).
