Like it or not, girls are born facing an uphill battle. Though many of us hoped it would be different by the 21st century, women are still paid less and victimised more than their male counterparts.
Raising girls to be smart, strong and independent is key to paving a fairer future. To raise girls this way, we need to ensure they’re receiving an education that reinforces what we’re teaching them at home.
What kind of education do you wish for your daughter?
Is it the kind that encourages her to be daring and brave? An education that pushes societal, academic and creative boundaries and challenges the perceptions of what a woman can and should do? One that teaches your daughter about responsibility and how to contribute to the world, both actively and positively?
Then you’ve come to the right place.
This is the kind of education the MLC School promises to deliver to your daughter. Their mission is to ‘educate young women to be fearless thinkers with moral courage and compassion to be agents of change in their own lives and the lives of others.’
Scholarships for Year 5 girls in 2022
In exciting news, MLC School has recently introduced scholarships for girls commencing Year 5 in 2022, so they can support you on your journey to equip your daughter with these strengths before she even begins High School – during key formative years of her life.
The brand new All-Rounder Scholarship for girls entering Year 5 in 2022 is open to both prospective students and those currently enrolled in Year 4 at the School.
The All Rounder Scholarships are awarded to applicants who demonstrate significant academic potential, together with achievement and potential in two or more of the following areas: Leadership, Cultural/creative/performing arts, Service or Sport.
MLC School believes that Year 5 is the time for girls to take a leap in terms of independence, responsibility and organisation – it is all about providing a platform for girls to step up to their full potential and become role models for the younger girls in the Junior School. This new scholarship provides more girls with the opportunity to access the School’s unique upper primary program to gain the confidence for a smooth transition to the Senior School.
There are also scholarships available for girls entering Year 7 to Year 10.
Why MLC School?
At MLC School, they believe in educating young women to be courageous, compassionate, capable of navigating change, and able to lead by adapting to the multiple paths that their futures will take.
The prestigious school boasts some of Sydney’s best teachers and a full range of facilities that enable young girls to excel in whatever area they choose.
These facilities include: a Centre for Design, Art and Technology (DART), Aquatic Centre, Music Centre, multiple libraries, multipurpose learning studios, collaborating spaces, science labs and auditoriums.
From dancing, drama and debating to sports, music and science – whatever your daughter is passionate about, there is a way to progress further with the guidance and facilities on offer at MLC School.
MLC School has a record of strong results to prove these claims. In 2020, eight MLC School girls attained an ATAR of 99.95. In addition in 2020, MLC School was named the Top IB School in Australia and Top 50 IB Global School.
How to apply
To be eligible for the scholarships, candidates must sit an entrance examination held at the School. Shortlisted candidates will later be invited to a Scholarships Activity Day to take part in a variety of activities with other shortlisted candidates and attend an interview.
