Pathways to Sporting Success
As part of our Strategic Plan, Shaping Futures: MLC 2030, Sporting Excellence at MLC is driven by three key programs:
Sporting Excellence at MLC
Sporting Excellence at MLC
MLC leads the way in girls’ sport, offering every student the opportunity to achieve personal excellence and reach her full potential. Our sporting program inspires participation while cultivating the skills, discipline and resilience needed to excel at the highest level.
Our sporting culture thrives on competition, teamwork and individual achievement. With a proud history of success, our Collegian network includes numerous Olympians and State and National representatives. Whether for recreation or elite competition, we empower students to embrace the outcomes of MLC sport: a strong sense of belonging, the drive to embrace challenges, the determination to strive for excellence, and a foundation of mutual respect both on and off the field.
The Benefits of Sport in Schools
At MLC, sport goes beyond physical fitness – it builds confidence, determination and leadership, equipping our girls with the skills needed for lifelong success. We are dedicated to supporting and growing sporting opportunities throughout the school years and beyond to ensure our students not only play sport but stay in sport.
Research shows that girls who engage in sport are more likely to take on leadership roles and experience career success, with a direct correlation between participation in sport and future professional achievements.
Senior Years’ Sport
MLC students benefit from the opportunities provided through our membership in the Independent Girls’ Schools’ Sports Association (IGSSA WA), competing in a wide range of sports from Years 7-12. They can also choose to participate in the MLC Netball Club as part of the Perth Netball Association (PNA) competition, and MLC Fury Volleyball, as part of the WA Junior Volleyball League.
