MLC Collegians

Music has always been a special part of life at MLC, bringing generations of students together through rehearsals, recitals, performances and, of course, music camps 🎶💚💜

These treasured experiences have created lifelong friendships, unforgettable memories and a shared love of music that continues long after leaving the College.

Take a trip down memory lane with these wonderful throwback photos from music camps over the years 📸✨

💜 The Power of a Needs-Based Scholarship - Be Part of It Before 30 June 💜⁠

"A scholarship is more than an opportunity. It tells someone that they belong, and that there are people who believe in them."

When Kate Kirwin (Class of 2010) arrived at MLC on a scholarship, she came from Bunbury with curiosity, ambition, and a world of opportunity ahead of her.

Starting a new school in a new city was a big step, but it became the beginning of something life-shaping - a place where she found her feet, her confidence, and a growing sense of belonging.

That scholarship didn’t just support her education - it helped open doors she would one day open for others.

Today, Kate is the Founder & CEO of She Codes Australia, an MLC Foundation Board Member, and the 2024 WA Young Australian of the Year. Through her work, she has helped more than 12,000 women step into the world of technology and possibility.

Now, she’s helping create that same opening for the next generation.

Our Shape Her Future Annual Tax Appeal will fund a Year 7 scholarship recipient all the way through to Year 12 - giving one young girl six years of belonging, growth, and opportunity at MLC.

With just days until 30 June, your tax-deductible gift can help open the door for a girl whose future is full of promise.

Collegians in Conversation: Arts Edition ✨

Last Thursday evening, Collegians and current students came together for an inspiring night of connection, conversation and networking at the second instalment of the Collegians in Conversation series, proudly hosted by the Collegians' Association.

Guests heard from an incredible panel of Collegians who are making their mark across the Arts sector, sharing valuable insights, career experiences and advice from their professional journeys:

🎭 Penny Lane (Class of 1997)
🎨 Kate Downie (Class of 1997)
🎬 Hannah Etherington (Class of 1998)
🎶 Jess Racklyeft (Class of 1997)

The discussion was expertly moderated by Collegians' Association President, Jemma Richmond (Class of 1997).

A huge thank you to our panellists and everyone who attended. Events like these provide a wonderful opportunity for our community to connect, learn and be inspired by the experiences of fellow Collegians.

This was the second edition of the Collegians in Conversation series, with another exciting sector to be explored later this year.
