Round Square Exchange Program – The Opportunity of a Lifetime
This year marks the exciting return of the MLC School Round Square International Exchange program. Two of our Year 10 students, Lily Smith and Rose Turner, have just returned from an unforgettable five-week exchange at Bridge House School in South Africa. Their incredible journey included immersing themselves in the vibrant culture and enriching school life of Bridge House. We eagerly anticipate welcoming students from Bridge House School to our campus this November.
Next week, we will be inviting two current Year 9 students to apply for an exchange next year with Bridge House School.
Stay tuned for this amazing chance to embark on a life-changing adventure!
‘Lily and I were so fortunate to have the most amazing, once in a lifetime opportunity to go on exchange in South Africa for five weeks. We were greeted by our exchange sisters, families, and school with such a welcoming and warm atmosphere, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in our exchange sister’s lifestyle and culture. We were so lucky to experience school life, including a netball tour, new friends, and $1 cheese toasties! Both of us had the amazing experience of going on safari towards the end of our stay, adding extraordinary memories to our already invaluable stay. I am extremely thankful for this incredible opportunity and would absolutely recommend anyone in the years below us to sign up for such a rare chance at making lifelong friends and memories that will last forever. Both Lily and I are excited to welcome our exchange sisters to MLC School in November!’

‘Rose and I had the most incredible opportunity to do a South African exchange in Cape Town for the last five weeks. Greeted with signs, smiles and such a welcoming environment, we met our lovely exchange sisters and families who went out of their ways to make sure we felt comfortable and at home. Whilst we were away, we immersed ourselves fully into our exchange partners’ lifestyles, with going to netball camp, participating in all areas of school life and even going on safaris at the end of our stay. My highlights of the trip would have to be the outstanding safari, and all of the hilarious small moments we had on camp like hip-hop routines for a talent show! We were able to learn so much about the different culture and language which was equally invaluable. I am so grateful to have had this opportunity and would thoroughly recommend it to the younger years. I think we can both say we have made lifelong friends and memories that we will always cherish. We look forward to welcoming our exchanges over here in November!’
