Learning Overview

Learning and teaching for the future

We believe that every student can experience success at learning and develop the confidence to thrive at school. At MLMC, we take pride in innovating every aspect of education — from flexible curricula to the latest learning technologies and spaces. Through this strong learning culture, we can offer your child creative, flexible and meaningful opportunities to learn better.

Through the College’s Vision for Learning we have the framework and the tools to gain a fundamental understanding of our students’ attributes and individual needs. It gives us the ability to make informed decisions that are based on data and adjust programs to improve learning outcomes.

With this approach we are able to prepare young people for the future — for workplaces that will be constantly evolving and where they will at times encounter an overwhelming amount of information. Workers of the future will need to problem-solve, collaborate and search for information efficiently and effectively. They will need the skills to gather details from many sources, pick out valuable information from noise and think strategically, with an open mind.

To give our students the skills they need, we foster a culture of learning that encourages:

  • independence, confidence and self-motivation
  • belief in an ability to succeed at learning
  • empathy and compassion, embracing diversity
  • global awareness
  • creativity and critical thinking
  • problem-solving and collaborative skills.

The structure of our curriculum will open exciting academic pathways for your child — which are limited only by imagination and ambition. With options across VCE, VCE-Vocational Major and VET, students can choose a pathway that suits their talents and builds the foundations of a successful career. We also offer a Learning Enhancement and Acceleration Program (LEAP) and an extensive Learning Support Program to meet the needs of all our students.

The teaching body at MLMC is comprised of a highly skilled and talented team of educators. These dedicated individuals, with a sensitivity to different learning styles, encourage and guide students to explore the many opportunities that are available to them.

Home Study Guide

The College uses this as a school-wide guide (Years 7-12) for homestudy (homework) expectations for teachers, students, and parents.

This is designed to supportively scaffold student workload and skill application as they progress through their secondary years, in anticipation of their senior years of study and beyond. This is also designed to specify the amount of time students should be studying at home, as well as clearly explain the types of learning activities they should be undertaking to build their subject knowledge and skills.
