Illuminate 2025

MLC School’s annual arts festival, Illuminate 2025 transformed the Senior Centre into a carnival of colour and creativity, displaying Design and Technology, Visual Arts, Food Technology, Textiles and Multimedia works. From the youngest creators in the Junior School to the accomplished artists in the Senior Years, we celebrated all of the incredible artistic and creative pursuits that set MLC School girls apart.

This year’s theme, ‘Step Right Up’, celebrated the open-mindedness, and curiosity that drive artistic exploration, encouraging students to take creative risks, embrace the unexpected, and showcase their talents with boldness and flair, much like the courage it takes to take risks. Just like at a carnival, there was something different and exciting around every corner, with each artwork offering a chance to engage with something new.

A highlight of the evening was the House Challenge, which saw our dedicated House Captains rally their peers to create their own interactive carnival games. Throughout the evening students and their families could play the games that the students worked so hard to create. Earlier this week, we announced Moormoora as the winners of Illuminate 2025, with Prescott coming in second! 

From textiles tote bags to surrealist ceramic works, the dedication and creativity of the students was displayed, allowing all to experience the imagination, innovation, and skill that define our their work. Live performances from our talented music students added atmosphere to the evening, making the event a true celebration of creativity in all its forms.

A big thank you to the Art and TAS departments for aiding students in their artmaking practices and allowing the night to come together so beautifully.
