All I can say is when I was in year 3 at this school, I overheard a girl in my class next to me talking to another girl & saying she can get her parents to sue her family over something that was nowhere near that serious.
We were only 9 years old, what could the other girl have possibly said or done for her to get sued? Obviously nothing.
I don’t know what kind of upbringing the girl who said that had, because personally, I honestly didn’t even know the meaning of suing at that age. To be honest, I don’t think a child that age should know the meaning of that word.

I went to mlc in the early 2000’s & up until 2016. My time there was good & quite memorable, but I do have to admit that I liked it more in the early 2000’s when I was a primary school student at Kent house.
I really miss the sense of community & the close relationship all the parents had with each other back then, it was a good time. My mum used to get along with nearly everyone else’s parents & we were all so close to each other that girls would often invite the whole grade to their birthday parties. It was really sweet.
High school started becoming a bit cliquey when girls from other schools started joining in years 6 & 7. I know this happens at all schools due to the transition from primary school to high school, but I just really miss Kent house.
My favourite memories from the school were obviously my friends & lunchtimes, however I also really loved the old traditions that were followed - I love how much history the school has. The end of year events like speech day, the chapel services, the beautiful school song ‘here in this house’, rainbow week & all those traditions. I’m very proud to be an MLC alumni & I still live near Burwood & feel nostalgic when I walk past the school.

the girls are WAY too bitchy here. It's just not right.
Obviously because this is a high school, everyone is under the age of 18, and the fact that underaged girls are ruder, tougher & more capable of speaking up for themselves than teachers is just embarrassing & plain wrong. Something obviously isn't right.
You can't just use the excuse 'it's a private school what do you expect' that's not a good enough excuse. just because it's a private all girls school, doesn't mean you just let it slide. you're making these bitches families pay so much money to send them to this school, & you can't even use that money to help make the school a better place?
Private school students who turned out decent know that a proper private school is supposed to have strong discipline standards & stronger punishments for girls that fail to respect others & have manners. The money you're taking from everyone should be used for discipline & better values & not wasted towards unnecessary things like face masks with the school logo, tote bags & other unnecessary uniform additions. This is a SCHOOL not a high end clothing store. stop wasting money on the wrong things until you get your school values under control first.

This school continues to get worse every year so beware. My daughter left the school due to abhorrent bullying that could never be resolved by the teachers or leadership and these girls are still at her. She was in Burwood the other day after school when an old class mate spotted her at the food court and pulled a pocket knife. Is this a private school for girls or a correctional facility for juveniles. I am considering reporting this to the police. Enough is enough !!! MLC if you are reading this then please take control !!!

this school has made me so sad. i’m consistently disappointed with the quality of these girls. they are so rude and snobby, they exclude nearly everyone. everyone has their own 'groups' and if you try to make friends or sit with them they will not even acknowledge you. the teachers are not helpful and the amount of assessments are completely unnecessary because they do not teach you an adequate amount do demand this much. the school absolutely does not prioritise your mental health and hardly ever acknowledges reports of bullying or aggression. the education is average and the uniform policies are horrible. earrings should be allowed. this school is so bad and i do not recommend coming here.

As a new student to this school, (I just came at the start of 2022 after being in Canturbery Girls HS) I believe that this school is one of the hardest I personally have ever experienced. Sure they give you great opportunities, but EVERYONE (atleast in my year) is so disrespectful, no one ever acknowledges my existence, smile at me, hell, let alone talk to me, I am a low grading student, and I am trying my hardest with working on that. But the teachers don't care about any of the students that have gotten under the average and have just stopped bothering about them, I mean sure they have to deal with aggressive, spoilt rich kids all day, but at this point if I want to ask a question, I'm rarely acknowledged, causing one of the reasons why I'm getting lower grades now, because whats the use of putting your hand up for nothing? Since day one I was given weird looks and people had given me judgmental looks, I have had rumors spread about me that I drink blood and am a drug addict, which could seem laughable but I have no one to laugh with, my chances of friendship has been ruined now, my only friend, which I only started to know around term 3, is moving to another school. One of the rare kind people in our year doesn't even like this school. ALSO the amount of pressure that is put on you to achieve high is suffocating and is just always a real downer, my science teacher (Ms Yadav) straight up just told the class how bad one of the kids in my classes grades were while the kid was at home sick. It's disgusting and the teachers aren't even good. They give so much homework (and yes I know coming from a student is a very throw away comment but just hear me out) without taking into account the
co-curricular things that take place in students lives. My french teacher assigned us a 2 hour hw task while our next lesson was the next day. I had rowing, I told her and she straight up just shrugged her shoulders AND I got a detention for not doing my hw that night even though what she asked was practically impossible.
Overall I genuinely hate this school with a burning passion. The only things they are good at are sports and music. Everyone is in an "exclusive" clique and no one is open to different people. If you are thinking about sending your child here, please, for the love of god, find a better option.

I graduated in 2016, I can't say I experienced or saw any bullying, though like all all-girls schools it was very clique-y. The one thing I can say, is that I now have finished postgraduate uni study and year 12 at MLC was still the hardest time of my life academically. I was in the '99.95' friend group and the pressure for top marks was insane, I still have recurring dreams that I have to sit the HSC again. I did excellent in terms of my ATAR but 100% was not worth the year of terrible anxiety, didn't even need the ATAR for my course. I didn't do IB and I'm so glad I didn't as the pressure was even worse for them. School should focus more on community, eg treating teachers well despite the marks their classes produce.

My daughter is in Pre K class at MLC and seriously, I have nothing to complain about the school. Other parents in the grades are so happy too, we all see how much our daughters have grown since joining MLC. The school doesn't only focus on academic results but also educate girls to be the world leaders with all rounded skills. They even teach the girls how to understand their emotions and control their actions (e.g.EQ). My daughter brought her learning about EQ from school and interact with us. For example, she wants us to tell her "good job" when she does the right thing or when she achieves something beyond her skills, she will ask us if we are proud of her. She will tell us when she is happy or sad, learns to control her emotion. All of these mental recognitions are important developments for 4-5 years old.
I haven't met a single girl at MLC being rude or nasty to me or my daughter yet. I am not suggesting that all stories are made up. I believe that a private girl school will always have spoiled and nasty girls, not only MLC but also other private schools. Recently, two top private schools in North Shores are in the news due to the stupid actions of Yr 12 students. My husband and I attended two different private schools too, we all got bullied and met nasty people. We have grown up to learn to be stronger and understood the difference every private school is similar one way or the other.

I’ve seen so many reviews here saying that the behaviour of the girls is poor. I’ve been at MLC for 7 years and I don’t see it. I think people forget that we are not adults yet and that any school contains misbehaving people. MLC is a great school and in my experience most of the girls are really humble compared to other all girls private schools. If you had a bad experience here, I understand, but there is no need to blame it on all the other girls who are actually really nice.

Let's face it: we're all lying to ourselves. Despite the fact that it has long been a famous and well-known institution, the phrase 'MLC' is still well-known throughout Sydney and a few other Australian states, the school is today only known for its name. The truth is that it WAS once a good school, possibly as recently as the early 2000s, but it is no longer even close to being that good.
I mean, realistically, the school is only good materialistically - you know, how having to buy a mac laptop from the age of 10/11 (year 5) is a requirement, the nice uniform, good facilities (swimming pool, gym, music centre, camps and week long trips from year 3, sports fields, and so on), and the education is good, but not exceptional. MLC just accelerates the girls' maturation and instils a materialistic worldview in them.
But, my God, the girls at school are quite different, and not in a good way. They're Sydney's haughtiest, rudest, pampered, stuck-up, and cold-hearted heiresses.
They have no respect for anyone, no manners, and believe they are superior to everyone; as a result, they believe they have the right to be sassy with other pupils, behave as adults, and speak back to teachers. They are openly disrespectful and bitchy, and I'm not sure if it's because the girls are like this or because MLC has spoiled and trained or forced them to become the corrupt little bitches that they are.
What are some examples of cold-hearted, obnoxious behaviour at MLC? Allow me to provide some instances.
1. A girl had a seizure or some sort of attack due to a medical condition during a senior school meeting in the gym, and a teacher had to help her, and the girls had to be evacuated; later that week, there was another meeting in the gym, and a senior girl (possibly in year 11 or 12) was asking her friend, "What's going to happen today?" Is a bitch going to attack us again, and we'll all have to flee?"
2. In one of my classes, a "popular" girl thought she was so well-liked that she didn't respond when someone who wasn't "popular" spoke to her. If someone who wasn't 'popular' spoke to her, she would turn away and tap her 'popular' friend on the shoulder, saying, 'Can you talk to It for me?' "I have no idea what that is or what THING is saying?"
3. Is there anything else you'd like to add? When a girl is late to class or returns from her locker or the bathroom and knocks on the door, instead of getting up and opening it like a normal person, the girls remain seated and glued to their laptops, staring at the girl knocking on the door but refusing to open it, until the teacher has to open the door because the girls are too arrogant and corrupted to do so.
4. I once inadvertently got in someone's way, and when I saw she was trying to pass, I moved and apologised, and her response? "WHY DON'T YOU JUST MOVE?" it questioned (in a sassy tone, plus some bitchy facial expressions)
5. We were all eating at a school camp, and someone said, "GUYSSSS, THERE'S ANOTHER BIN OVER THERE, THIS BIN IS GETTING FULL IT'S NOT FAIR" - This isn't bitchy, but it's an example of how MLC girls talk too much and say unnecessary things just to be heard and get attention, saying unfiltered random things and with too much confidence. There are a million more, but I don't want to keep you here all day, so come to the school yourself if you want to learn more.
"What if people assume MLC girls are the rudest females on the planet?" a teacher once said as she gave us a speech about something. So I'm sure I'm not the only one that thinks like this. It's safe to assume that anything a teacher says is correct. MLC girls are obnoxious and have no business being there. In any case, parents must look beyond MLC's financial rewards and recognise that sending their daughter to a school with a nice uniform and a well-known name is meaningless unless their daughter is a cold-hearted arrogant bitch like the other girls, or unless they want her to become one.
What good is it to go to a school with great facilities if a pupil is afraid to be there because of the feisty females? The mothers and fathers of many of these girls are also scumbags. MLC has become the embodiment of corruption, and I hope their sassy, cold-hearted, cynical henchwomen are proud of them. But don't worry, MLC; after all, if the girls are so content with themselves, you must be doing something to assist them in feeling that way, right?

I am going to start at this school and a lot of negative comments about the school. I asked my mum to check with her friends. My mums friends are from Chinese culture and said the girls there are so rude and the staff is bit scared of their parents and remain silent. Is this true? As well said the school over use students for marketing. Is this true? Can anyone explain me the truth? How's the teachers there? Any problems?

MLC IS THE BEST SCHOOL IVE EVER BEEN TO! They just invade your privacy a bit too much for example, there was a new antivirus they installed in the middle of the summer holiday called 'Crowdstrike Falcon' I really didn't want it in my laptop though we got an email to press allow. Because i felt like it would block certain sites I go onto when searching things up and things like that and i dont want anything blocked. They also blocked so many other things on our own personal laptops that my parents paid for.. i thought when i first came here that they were just installing the necessary apps like word, onedrive, adobe apps things like that but they also installed so much more unnecessary software. i just feel like MLC is overrunning our privacy especially knowing that they can just add in software like this and block other things without you knowing. Anyways on the upper hand MLC School has so many great opportunities and i must say these reviews do u no justice! MLC school girls are so nice and welcoming. It's so easy to make friends and everyone always smiles back at you, the teachers are always so nice and I really have no complaints! Some are not my favourite but i really can't be the judge of that, MLC school teachers are really top of the coin, you even have head of health to care about how you're doing mentally too.. MLC SCHOOL is overall such a great school, if I was a parent I could just entrust my child here with no regrets!

My daughter was junior school captain a few years before. She is classed as 'smart' in her current grade. It doesn't go to her head, though. MLC really focuses on the mental health of every girl and my daughter seems really happy about MLC, her friends too. MLC includes every student for things, not just the top students, like the school tours. Honestly, I do not understand the fuss. I am not saying it is all made up, but don't you think its rude to assume things, like 'MLC girls are disgustingly rude and they don't deserve to be at MLC'? Not all the girls are like that. Some are, and yes, I will admit it, some are spoilt, but the majority understand wrong from right and the teachers really help them. It is mean and spoilt to assume that all girls are corrupted and whatever else. I bet there are astounding exmaples of kindness that no one has mentioned. I can mention a lot.

As an ex staff member I found the experience at MLC very challenging. Bullied by senior girls in my own classroom and by parents whose daughters did not get the grades they felt they deserved. When I left the current principal did not even have the grace to say goodbye to me as according to her devoted secretary , she was busy. I was astounded . I have taught in other private schools and State schools and I must say the attitude amongst the girls particularly at MLC when I was there was there was disappointing to say the least. I attended a private school in England and I assumed private schools here would be similar. I am sure that in all single sex schools this kind of superiority among students (especially today) does exist but the rudeness and arrogance I experienced among several of the girls, left me totally confused and very unhappy. I m afraid I have to agree with a lot of these posts by ex students about the amount of bullying and bitchiness that goes on. It is comforting to know that it is not only me that felt this way. Might I add however, that there were many lovely girls at the school too! Respect and kindness go a long way - something which is very lacking in today’s society it seems to me.

To everyone saying that the students at MLC are rude and arrogant, have you not seen any other private school girls? Most of the girls at private, single-sex schools are like this. Just because one person had a bad experience doesn't mean that everyone is bad. There are always bitchy people in high school and you absolutely can't avoid it. I'm not saying that everyone at MLC is going to be the kindest person ever, but you can't judge a school off a couple of moody girls with nothing better to do.

this has nothing to do with the school itself, as I really loved it, but it's just a personal friendship experience of mine I'd like to share just incase anyone has felt the same or just to make people aware that this happened at MLC.
I attended MLC from K-5 in Kent house in the early 2000's, & I loved my childhood there, but I had to go somewhere else for high school. However, I came back to go to high school at MLC after a few years of being somewhere else because I missed MLC & really wanted to come back for high school.
I was hoping & expecting the girls I knew from Kent house to talk to me & having interest in wanting to catch up on the few years that I wasn't there, but it turned out to be completely the opposite.
They had changed completely, which is normal from primary to high school, but they changed in a really bad way. They were completely uninterested to talk to me, & they were almost even rolling their eyes at the fact that I had returned to MLC. They would all just judgementally stare at me but never spoke to me. I thought it was a really strange reaction for someone they had known since kindergarten & had no conflicts with. I also felt extremely left out to see all the girls I went to school with as a child in Kent House having fun together & having such solid friendship groups, with absolutely no interest to talk to me or include me. It really didn't feel good to see how little they cared about me. I even had one of my old childhood best friends from Kent house ask me how to spell my name, which I found really hurtful & rude, cause we used to be so close & she went from that to acting like she's never seen my name before. A few of the other girls as well that were my closest friends in Kent house just looked at me, but acted like they didn't know me & acted like it wasn't me that they were friends with. I'm really not sure why, when nothing bad had even happened between us.
I ended up joining a group of girls that were new & had come to MLC during the years that I wasn't there, so I never ended up speaking to any of the girls I went to school with during my Kent house years. Those girls also ended up being really bitchy & started making fun of me & treating me badly due to the fact that I was really kind compared to most of the girls at MLC, which then ended up in me leaving the school once again.
Despite how much I really liked MLC & dreamed of finishing high school there, maybe the school just wasn't for me anymore. Maybe having left the school for a few years changed me as a person & I no longer fitted into the school, maybe I was expecting too much. Maybe it was unrealistic for me to think that everything was gonna be the same as my childhood in Kent house friendship-wise.
Without having done anything bad at all, without even having spoken to the girls from Kent house from my childhood, more than 10 of the girls had gradually started deleting me off Facebook after years of having them on there since I left in year 5. I guess they just started feeling like I was irrelevant when they saw me come back.
Not saying this is gonna happen to everyone at MLC, or trying to give it a bad name because of this, but I'm just sharing that this is what happened to me. If you fit into the school & make friends without getting treated badly for being too nice, you're lucky, I wish I had that experience.

the school is good academically, the education is good, the uniform is pretty & no doubt it's got top notch facilities, so it's expensive for a reason.
but a lot of the girls at MLC are really abnormally loud, rude, bossy, outspoken, overly competitive & overconfident at a very young age. I was in kindy at MLC in 2004, & even my mum said that she felt intimidated by how tough the girls were at the age of 5. If a mother feels intimidated by a 5 year old student, obviously something is off. I'm not blaming MLC 100% for this, but it kinda shows what kinda families the girls at MLC come from, & shows what kind of upbringing they had. Obviously MLC girls come from families that spoil them & over praise them to the point that they already think of themselves as queens by the age of 4/5. Not a very healthy attitude I'd say.

Unfortunately my children’s experience with the school has been very unsatisfactory. My advice, if you have very academic daughter planning on doing the IB, the school will priories her learning. If you have a daughter with average academic performance planning to do the HSC then I would definitely not recommend this school. You will find she will be lumped with all the teacher turnover and support from the senior leaders will be non existent.

Its along time since I was at MLC, very different back then in so many ways. Not as supportive as I'd hoped but my friend's were nice girls. Definitely not the cool group but well mannered and friendly.
Perhaps the school children of today can be over indulged and that's not necessary at all. The world we live in now is too materialistic.

I was surprised to see that many negative comments about MLC. My daughter hasn’t started at the school yet but will be soon. Many of my work colleagues have sent their daughters to MLC (from primary to secondary school age), all of them highly recommend the school to us. Re the girls’ behaviour, aren’t all private school kids the same? My husband and I both attended private schools and we experienced the same environment from different schools with different generations. It is not nice to grow up in this environment, however we would like my daughter to learn to deal with it like us.
Our impression on MLC as future parents are as below:
1. The school impressed us so much in the school tour, which all families were lead by students the entire time. The school didn’t pick top students for the school tour, it trained all students to be a leader and showed families what MLC is about. We only saw teachers at the beginning and at the end of the tour. Students seem to be very happy and proud of the school.
2. In terms of technology & facilities, MLC is the leader in the field. IT is the future, we would like our daughter to be good at IT and are very happy that MLC embraces it from a young age.
3. The main reason for us to choose MLC is IB program. When you look at MLC HSC ranking, it falls behind lots of other private schools. The reason is that all top students in MLC choose IB program which is recognised in Australia and globally. By looking at 2019 HSC result, it is very lucky for top private schools to have 1-2 students gaining 99.95 in HSC. Guess what? MLC has 4 students achieved this mark in IB program. I cannot remember the overall result of IB in MLC, the average marks for IB program is quite high in MLC. If you combine IB and HSC in MLC, MLC ranking will be much higher. IB is recognised globally so international schools accept the mark.
MLC has other impressive elements similar to other private schools. Overall, we are happy with our choice.

We want her to be surrounded by lile minded friends and their families. We give my daughter necessities - we are very unmaterialistic - not because we can't give her everything but because choose not to. We simply don't want her to feel as though she will get everything from "mummy and daddy" solely because she wants it or because others have it. Whatever happened to the private schools that focussed on education the good old fashioned way??? Will be looking at Meriden School - hoping its different given the academic rankings are far better than MLC! Can anyone shed some light on Meriden? Will i be wasting my time?

I've been at MLC since Kindergarten, and it is a good school and everything, but it's been sad, disappointing & absolutely disgusting to see the evolution of how horribly the girls change.
I mean, yes, obviously people change as they grow up from from primary school students into high school students, and MLC girls were never super innocent or super sweet even as little kids, but it's just been a really ugly experience to grow up with them from a young age and see just how bad they become as teenagers. They grow up waaaay too fast, and once the girls grow out of their little primary school selves and grow into the age where they're old enough to understand that they're in a rich private school, that's when the trouble starts. That's when they start acting all bratty and entitled, and it becomes hard to deal with them.
It honestly makes me really curious to know whether this is the attitude that MLC girls carry on with them for the rest of their lives, cause if so, that's a horrible mark that MLC leaves on their girls. Making them grow up into horrible, arrogant, snobby bitches. That makes sense as to why even parents of MLC students these days are also just an older version of their snobby, bitchy daughters. I bet a million dollars that MLC girls are gonna grow up to be those types of mothers.

One thing im happy with is not letting parents wandering around the school with their daughters.
There is a particular man who just comes every morning with his daughter and hangs around. Alot of us mums and daughters find this very uncomfortable. His daughter looks embarrassed the poor darling.

tbh the only reason I'm here is because MLC has a good name & I like being able to boast about going to an expensive school like MLC. I like the MLC uniform & going out in the uniform makes me feel proud & it makes me feel good to be an MLC student.
However, I don't ACTUALLY enjoy going here. I really wouldn't say there's much difference between MLC & other private schools. There's nothing special about the education honestly. This school is 100% electronic based & there is no such thing as using notebooks, papers & pens here. Every girls' head is glued to their phone & laptop screens & I don't see that as beneficial to the students' education in anyway. Laptops have autocorrect which means it's possible that the girls probably don't even know how to spell anything properly & will be doomed when they have to do their final HSC exams on PAPER. with a PEN.
and MLC is literally the definition of a snobby private school. If you're coming to MLC or to a private school for the first time & have always wandered if stereotypes about private schools are true, literally, come to MLC. All the stereotypes are facts here. Snobby, rude, obnoxious, stuck-up girls, girls constantly talking about celebrities, about who has the most instagram followers, about who is the most popular among Newington guys or with guys from other guys schools, girls constantly talking about how rich they are, about what expensive or designer clothes they've bought or are planning to buy, girls who always brag about who was the first one to get some new clothing or electronic product, girls who are forever ungrateful for everything & constantly wanting more when they already have everything. It's all here at MLC. Welcome.
But the dumb thing is that these same arrogant, superficial bitches also talk too big & say things that are completely hypocritical. Some of these same superficial bitches also say things like 'stop complaining about not having the NEWEST Mac, at least you HAVE a laptop' when they themselves are usually almost always complaining about the same superficial shit. Weird bitches honestly.
Like yeah, it's normal for private school girls to be like that and have those kinds of attitudes, but at the same time, considering how much money students pay to go there, the school COULD do something about it and make the school a more comfortable & sophisticated place to study. Being surrounded by girls like that gets tiring after a while.

i have been enjoying my time at MLC and most of the teachers are good but the science and geography department are very bad. i have had a number of assignments where we weren’t told what we were meant to do and the notifications were written wrong. the schools rules are also very unnecessary and same goes for the uniform. the school is VERY expensive and we pay to be there and i’m disappointed that we pay a lot of money for teachers to disrespect us. we go to school for 7 hours a day, have short small breaks and we aren’t even allowed to sit with our friends in classes. honestly, step it up MLC

Omg. Took my daughter out. totally shocked by the way the leadership team are so ineffective. Super bad experience with leader. All she could say was ‘trust me’ and never had the guts to return calls and meet with me to resolve issue. It’s a pity because the teachers are great and I only have good things to say about them. But unfortunately culture starts at the top and the top management of MLC are hopeless.

One thing I don’t understand is why MLC girls are stuck up and discriminating within people at their own school. First of all, it’s bad to be stuck up, but even if they do want to be stuck up, I understand it if they’re stuck up when they talk to students from other public schools cause they think they’re better for being at MLC but it’s weird that they’re bitchy and condescending to girls at their own school. If they’re all at the same school, obviously they have enough money to be going to MLC, and there’s no need to make fun of other girls for not having as much money as them etc.

A school full of ungrateful arrogant bitches. If MLC is such a good school, why do the girls have such uneducated attitudes? I guess MLC needs to start teaching girls how to behave and stop being the disrespectful little bitches they are.

Good school overall but the school makes the girls grow up a bit too fast. It can be good in some areas, but not always, because growing up too fast makes girls become a bit too rude, and those girls don’t even seem to feel guilty about how they’re acting.
I think some people need to stop overlooking these rude girls just because they haven’t dealt with them themselves. I know i’m not the only one that has dealt with girls like these at MLC. So, I just think it’s important to warn people about them
It is an amazing school, but it’s not perfect. That’s all i’m saying.

MLC is an amazing school. They do have good education, they offer the IB, they have good teachers, amazing sports and music facilities, nice uniform and an overall good reputation. The only real problem is the girls. If the girls were nicer, the school would be perfect.
Just sincerely speaking, most MLC girls truly are very snobby, stuck up, superficial and unbelievably bitchy and disrespectful no matter how many people say that it’s not true. The people who are saying it’s not true are probably those girls themselves, or their parents, or just people who have been lucky to not have dealt with those girls. It’s mostly the popular girls that are like that, but I have also dealt with non-popular girls that are also rude & unnecessarily bitchy. So girls like these are quite prominent at MLC.
Going to MLC is like being in the movie 'Mean Girls' in real life, but way worse. Basically you have to be tough and know how to deal with the bitchiest of the bitchiest if you’re gonna be at MLC.

What a rambling rant? I think the school is amazing, teachers are very comitted and everyone I have come across is decent and down to earth. My daughter is flourishing in all fields and all the girls in her year seem very considerate and inclusive. As far as "elite" girls schools go MLC is probably one of the most grounded in the "snob stakes" because the girls come from all parts of Sydney and different demographics. All in all couldn't be happier with the high standard of education and amazing extra curricular and sports on offer.

Let’s be real. The school is only now known for its’ name, because it’s been a famous prestigious school for a long time, and obviously the name ‘MLC’ is still very well-known throughout Sydney, and a few other states in Australia.
However, the truth is that it WAS once a good school, maybe in the early 2000’s and before that, but now it isn’t even half as good. I mean, realistically, the school is only good materialistically - you know, how having to buy a mac laptop from the age of 10/11 (year 5) is a requirement, the nice uniform, good facilities (swimming pool, gym, music centre, camps and week long trips from year 3, sports fields etc), and the education is good I guess, but it’s not the best. MLC just makes the girls grow up way too fast and teaches them to be materialistic.
But dear god the girls at the school are really something else and not at all in a good way. They are probably Sydney’s most arrogant, disrespectful, spoiled, stuck-up and cold-hearted bitches.
They have absolutely no respect for anyone, absolutely no manners, think they’re better than everyone, and therefore think that they have the right to be unnecessarily sassy with other students, talk as if they’re adults and talk back to teachers. They are shameless with their rude and bitchy behaviour, and I don’t know whether the girls themselves are like that or whether MLC has spoiled the girls and taught them or caused them to turn into the corrupt little bitches that they are.
Some examples of cold-hearted bitchy behaviour at MLC? Easy, let me give you some.
1. During a senior school meeting in the gym, a girl had a seizure, or some sort of attack due to a medical condition, and a teacher had to help her, and the girls had to be evacuated, and during the week, there was another meeting in the gym, and a senior girl (maybe in year 11 or 12) was saying to her friend “What’s gonna happen today? Is another bitch gonna have another attack again and we’ll all have to get out again?”
2. A ‘popular’ girl in one of my classes thought she was so popular that she didn’t even respond when someone that wasn’t ‘popular’ spoke to her. Every time somebody that wasn’t ‘popular’ spoke to her, she would turn her head away, tap her ‘popular’ friend on the shoulder and say ‘can you talk to THAT for me?’ “I don’t know WHAT THAT is or WHAT THAT is THING saying?”
3. Something else? Every time a girl comes a bit late to class, or if she’s coming back to class from her locker or from the bathroom and knocks the door to come back in, instead of getting up and opening the door like a normal person, they keep their bitchy selves seated and glued to their laptops whilst they just stare at the girl knocking on the door but don’t open it, and eventually the teacher ends up having to open the door because the girls are too arrogant and corrupted up to do so.
4. I was once in somebody’s way without realising, and when I realised she was trying to get through, I moved and said ‘sorry’ and her response? it was : “WHY DON’T YOU JUST MOVE” (in a sassy tone, plus some bitchy facial expressions)
5. We were all eating at a school camp, and everyone was throwing food into a bin that had started to overflow, and a girl said ‘GUYSSSS, THERE’S ANOTHER BIN OVER THERE, THIS BIN IS GETTING FULL IT’S NOT FAIR” - This may not be bitchy, but this is just an example of the way that MLC girls talk too much and say unnecessary things just to be heard and get attention, saying unfiltered random things and with too much confidence.
There’s a million more examples, but I don’t wanna be here all day so if you wanna know more, maybe you can try coming to the school yourself.
I even remember a teacher giving us a speech about something, and she asked us “What if people think that MLC girls are the rudest girls in the world?” So I know I’m not the only one that thinks this. if a teacher is saying that, it’s definitely real and true. MLC girls are disgustingly rude and they don’t deserve to be at MLC
Either way, people need to start looking ahead of the materialistic advantages of MLC, and start recognising that there’s no point sending your daughter to a school with nice uniform and a famous name unless your daughter is a cold-hearted arrogant bitch like the rest of the girls, or unless you would like your daughter to become like that. Like what’s the point of going to a school with just good facilities when a student doesn’t even feel comfortable to be there because of how bitchy the girls are?
Even the parents’ of a lot of these girls are bitches themselves. MLC is truly just the definition of corruption now, and I hope MLC is proud of their bitchy, cold-hearted, stuck up bitches. But don’t worry MLC, you’re not all that bad, I mean, if the girls are so arrogant and stuck up, you must be doing something to make them feel that proud, right?
