#140Years140Stories: Day 2

To celebrate 140 years of MLC School, we invited students to design a logo that captures our legacy and future. The entries were incredible, and today, we’re proud to reveal the winning design!

🏆 Congratulations to Mia in Year 6, whose artwork will represent our 140th year throughout 2026. She's won a $100 Café 1886 voucher and will be honoured during our anniversary celebrations.

Take a look at the logo that will mark this historic milestone!

#140Years140Stories: Day 3

Congratulations to our newly appointed student leaders for 2026, an inspiring group ready to lead with courage, compassion, and commitment.

As we celebrate their journey ahead, we also honour the legacy they follow. Swipe to see a remarkable photo from 1914, featuring MLC School’s first official student leadership team alongside Headmistress, Miss Mabel Sutton.

From the pioneering young women of 1914 to the confident captains of 2026, student leadership at MLC School continues to be a proud tradition of service, strength, and vision.

✨ Here's to being part of a legacy and writing the next chapter in our story.

💬 Were you a captain at MLC School? We’d love to hear your memories and reflections.

🌹 Did You Know?

At every MLC School student leadership Induction, a bowl of red roses is always present.

Elizabeth O’Reilly (1957), daughter of former Principal Winston O’Reilly (1960–1964), shared in Excelsior 1957 that, “A beautiful bowl of red roses symbolised the beauty of the service that followed.” A timeless symbol of grace, service, and tradition.
