MLC School song

Here in this House by John Masefield Here in this house, where we are singing thus, Long generations will come after us; Friends we shall never know will come to share This life of ours, wondering what we were, Long after we are gone their minds will take The human pathways our endeavours make.

We shall not see them, but we can endow This place with the beauty for them, here and now.

We can so live that after we are dead They may find beauty here like daily bread.

We can so live that they may find, each one, A life here of truth said and kindness done; The knowledge, that this world of mysteries Wants many thousands true for one that’s wise; The faith, that when a twilight finds us gone, All we have consecrated will live on To help the souls of other unseen friends Into a calm where beauty never ends.

The Opening of the Senior Centre | 3

From the Chair of Council I am delighted to celebrate with you today the opening our new Senior Centre, an outstanding educational facility that is, in many ways, the physical manifestation of MLC School’s world leading 21st century approach to education.

Since our very beginnings, MLC School has been synonymous with pushing the boundaries of girls’ education, providing the young women in our care every opportunity and encouragement to be all that they can be. This purpose-built senior learning environment continues this tradition, daring us all to be more by creating a setting in which learning is ever-present; and curiosity and enquiry are the natural response.

I would particularly like to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone involved in imagining this Senior Centre and making it a reality.

A project like this requires the talent, inspiration, generosity, dedication and sheer hard work of many, many people within our school community and beyond. Many of these have given of their time, expertise and resources freely and with a generosity beyond all reasonable expectation. Thank you for your commitment to the future of education of MLC School girls, you can be justly proud of the impact you have had, and will continue to have, on the lives of generations of young women. You can be confident that, in the words of our School Song, long after we are gone their minds will take the human pathways your endeavours have made.

As the most ambitious building project ever undertaken at MLC School, the journey from concept to completion has not been insignificant.

Over the last five years the planning, design and construction of this facility has benefited from the foresight and courage of Council, staff, students, architects and builders. It has been so exciting to see the fruits of all this careful thought and planning, as we now witness the girls and teachers together learning, collaborating and flourishing as they begin to explore all that is possible in this new space.

Along with the entire School Council, I look forward to seeing learning come alive in this new setting. I am certain that over time it will be used in ways that none of us ever dreamed of, to take the minds of our students to places none of us have yet dreamed of; and to rewrite MLC School’s spirit of leading-edge education for girls for the generations to come.

Mrs Pauline Johnston Chair, MLC School Council

From the Principal In a recent publication Workforce of the future – The competing forces shaping 2030, PricewaterhouseCoopers examined the impact that technology and changes to the nature of work are likely to have on the jobs of the future, and the skills and characteristics that will be the most sought after in employees and critical for the success of their leaders.

Although much of the report centres on the impact of technology on current jobs, it was interesting to note that despite all the changes that they are dealing with, employers report that “Finding people with the right skills has become the biggest threat to their business. Perhaps not surprisingly, these hard to find skills are problem‐solving, adaptability, collaboration, leadership, creativity and innovation.”

‘So what should we tell our children? That to stay ahead, you need to focus on your ability to continuously adapt, engage with others in that process, and most importantly retain your core sense of identity and values.

For students, it’s not just about acquiring knowledge, but about how to learn. For the rest of us, we should remember that intellectual complacency is not our friend and that learning – not just new things but new ways of thinking – is a life-long endeavour.’

Blair Sheppard, Global Leader, Strategy and Leadership Development, PwC

It is exciting then, to see how the forward thinking design of our spectacular Senior School building is encouraging the teaching and development of these skills, providing an environment where learning can be creative, collegial and innovative. From the very first day of classes, staff and students have embraced the challenge of utilising all that it offers. Moving through the building, one is struck by the wide variety of approaches to learning that are taking place and the visible nature of that learning.

The transition in our approach to learning from Junior School to Senior School is now seamless and sequential, with our commitment to learning in spaces that encourage flexibility, adaptability and problem solving available to girls of all ages.

Equally important, the building and associated works have given us a central place to gather and interact; a new ‘heart of the School’.

Earlier this term our prefects hosted a gathering of prefects from Schools across Sydney. How lovely it was to hear them welcome their guests with a smile and proudly announce that this was their new building. Indeed that is what it has become – a special place that is already loved and owned by our girls. Along with the associated landscaping and outdoor café seating, what we have is a space to be embraced and enjoyed by us all.

I would like to acknowledge the vision and foresight shown by all those involved in the creation and execution of this project. As a result of careful planning and a clear vision for learning at MLC School, we have a place that is a visible representation of who we are as a learning community, and an environment in which we can continue to challenge traditional ways of teaching and ready our girls for the world into which they will graduate.

The MLC School Senior Centre

‘The whole perimeter of the building is a full-height, double-glazed high-performance facade, which maximises access to daylight.

A skin of perforated folded aluminium panels wraps around the glazed facade, providing sunshading and privacy. The aluminium skin is pierced by large pop-out windows, which maximise access to the views and showcase the learning that happens inside.

Automated louvre windows allow the building to be naturally ventilated as well as air-conditioned. A large skylight above the central atrium brings light right in through internal pop-out quiet rooms and meeting rooms, and down to the amphitheatre space.

The interior reflects the principle of the ‘building as a teacher’. Exposed services and off-form concrete showcase the functionality and structure. An abundance of timber, plywood and cork finishes create a warm, homely feeling. The timber-framed glazed internal partitions, with their plywood joinery elements, provide a balance between transparency and privacy, while the timber floors of the central circulation stairs and bridges bring warmth to the heart of the space.’

BVN, MLC School Senior Centre architects ÎÎ The building spans four levels plus a basement ÎÎ The ground floor consists of class rooms, IT genius bar, Studies Office and an open amphitheatre, which can be viewed from each level through the central void. ÎÎ The remaining three levels consist of a combination of teaching spaces, Science laboratories, collaborative learning spaces, suspended pop-out meeting staff rooms and an outdoor teaching balcony on level three. ÎÎ The basement features dance studios and is also used for storage and plant rooms.

‘The classroom spaces are fantastic; big, bright and fun to teach in. Being able to break out during group work is a real benefit and it means that students do not stay in the same seat all lesson. The design pushed me to think about how I develop lessons to use the spaces creatively.’ Fiona Pow, Head of Year 8

A Contemporary Teaching and Learning Space

‘The new Senior Learning Centre at MLC School expands the learning clusters to deliver a contemporary teaching and learning space. The new building delivers state-ofthe-art teaching areas wrapped around a central atrium.

Two large landscaped courtyards surround the Centre, allowing the teaching and learning to spill out into outdoor learning spaces.

MLC School’s brief was to create dynamic and engaging spaces that enhance student learning and embrace the future. This meant creating a building that moves away from the institutional model.’

BVN, MLC School Senior Centre architects

A Building that Creates and Encourages Learning ‘The MLC School Senior Centre was an extremely exciting and rewarding project for the Lipman team, and we are proud to have played our role in bringing the School’s vision to completion. The new Senior Centre is a highly innovative building that creates and encourages learning. It is much more like a university building than a school.’

Lipman, MLC School Senior Centre builders

Pioneers and Leaders in Girls’ Education Since 1886

PIONEERING THE EDUCATION OF GIRLS AND YOUNG WOMEN

‘possess a store of knowledge and breadth of view, and a reliance upon their own acquaintance with things … which would fit them for any position in the world’.

From the early days of the Wesleyan Church in Australia, the higher education of women and girls was considered an important objective.

He further stated that women were entitled to take their place ‘as the co-equals of men, in every avenue of human activity’.

In 1872, the Wesleyan Conference of NSW resolved that: ‘the superior education of the daughters of our people was a worthwhile objective’.

For the late 1800s, these ideals – the core of MLC School’s foundation – were revolutionary. For over 133 years, MLC School has continued to subvert preconceptions of women’s roles by preparing girls to be ‘fit for any position in the world’.

On 4 May 1883, a Committee (which included our future Founding Principal, Rev Dr Charles Prescott) met at the Wesleyan Centenary Chapel York Street, Sydney and the idea of our School began: ‘considering the great importance to our Church of higher education… the time has now come for the immediate establishment in the Colony of a high school for girls.’

The Committee spent three years searching for the right property, and in November 1885, Miss Lester’s ‘Kent House’, on the corner of Rowley Street and Park Road, with adjacent paddock, was purchased.

Within six weeks, Rev Dr Prescott had sourced furniture, hired staff and the School was ready for students. The SMH advertisement on 23 January 1886, announcing the imminent opening of the Wesleyan Ladies’ College, included that the School would ‘make provision for those who wish to prepare for University honours’.

This radical statement was only five years after women had, for the first time, gained admission to The University of Sydney.

Delivering the Schofield Hall opening address in November 1892, Rev Charles Stead stated that the ambition of the Wesleyan Ladies’ College was that its graduates would 16 | MLC School

A HISTORY OF BUILDING SPACES FOR EXCEPTIONAL LEARNING EXPERIENCES Rather than following education trends, MLC School has created them. From the time of its inception, there was a clear intention to acquire land and construct buildings to provide a superior level of educational experiences for its students.

By being at the forefront of innovative teaching methods and evolving our educational spaces, MLC School has consistently been able to offer its students exceptional learning environments.

Australia’s first school to construct a kindergarten building Shortly after the opening of MLC School, Rev Dr Prescott, who firmly believed in the importance of educating very young children, persuaded the College Council to establish a coeducational kindergarten.

The importance of this innovation cannot be understated. The Kindergarten Movement, based on ideas developed in Germany by

Friedrich Froebel, was in its early days in Australia and was struggling to gain support.

Rev Dr Prescott’s vision placed the Wesleyan Ladies’ College in the forefront of educational practice when it established a kindergarten in 1889.

The success of the kindergarten was evident within the first year, leading the College Council to approve the building in 1890 of a ‘one-storey wooden structure with a wide verandah’ to house the new kindergarten.

It stood at the corner of Rowley and Grantham Street in the corner of the existing School grounds.

Mens sana and corpus sanum The paddock, acquired with the original purchase of Miss Lester’s Kent House, although greatly expanded, has remained a sports field for the life of the School.

Developing the ‘whole person’ with a ‘mens sana’ (healthy mind) as well as a ‘corpus sanum’ (healthy body), as Rev Dr Prescott stated in 1886 in his first Speech Day report, has always been at MLC School’s core. It reflects a commitment to building leadership skills and developing within our girls a strong sense of fair play and resilience.

The Sports Field became the site of the first Athletics Carnival for girls in Australia, when on 3 November 1906, MLC School held its first Sports Day. Old Girl Marguerite Cooper (Henry,1913) reminisced that “we were considered very ‘modern’ because we had a Sports Day and ran races like our brothers.”

A second donation from Mrs Schofield led to the building of the Tower Wing that housed classrooms as well as the Principal’s residence. The hand-drawn plan for the construction, dated 11 July 1918 is one of the oldest plans held in the School’s archives.

The Potts years of expansion and growth The much-admired Rev Potts was Principal of MLC School from 1922 to 1933. Under his stewardship, the School purchased many new properties and expanded significantly.

He directed the building of numerous classrooms, tennis courts and a hockey field, and beautified the School by laying many gardens.

He also remodelled the School’s frontage, wrapping Miss Lester’s original Kent House to match the rest of the facade, and with that he created Prescott Wing.

Within the Prescott Wing, Old Girl (1896 cohort) and Headmistress (1912–1940), Miss Mabel Sutton, organised the construction of our first Science Lab which opened in Term 1 1924. At the same time, Miss Sutton added Physics to the MLC School curriculum (to accompany Chemistry, Biology, Botany and Geology) and MLC School became the first school in Australia to have girls sit Physics in the Leaving Certificate.

Rev Potts was also instrumental in procuring Abbeythorpe, in 1923, which played an important role in the life of the School for over 50 years, accommodating Kindergarten and Primary classes as well as weekly Boarders.

Rev Potts’ final and greatest achievement was overseeing the construction of our Assembly Hall, with ‘numerous gymnastic rooms, and other conveniences, beneath it’, opening in 1926.

After his sudden and tragic death in 1933, the Assembly Hall was renamed the Potts Assembly Hall in his honour.

In 1929 and in the 1930s further properties along Park Road were purchased and the School’s property grew once more. And in 1936 ‘Cartreff’ at 36 Grantham Street was acquired and renamed Sutton House in honour of Miss Mabel Sutton.

The next great expansion of the School was with the 1949 purchase of ‘Youngarra’ which stood on the corner of Rowley and Gordon Streets. At the same time the School celebrated the opening of the newly constructed Sutton House along the Grantham Street edge of the original ‘Cartreff’ property.

‘Youngarra’ was renamed Kent House, in tribute to the first property purchased for the School in 1885. From 1949 to 1965,

this Kent House was occupied by the Kindergarten and Lower Primary School. It was replaced by a new and larger building (the Kent House we know today) which finally brought the whole Kindergarten and Primary School under the one roof in 1966.

Wearne Library MLC School established a fiction library in its second year, and in 1922, with funds donated by the Old Girls’ Union, a Reference Library was established. The Reference Library was renamed ‘The Minnie F. Wearne Library’ in 1932 in memory of the former MLC School Headmistress (1887–1909) – and one of the first women to graduate from the University of Sydney – who had died that year.

Sutton House was built to house the contents of the Fiction and Reference Libraries. The new combined library retained the name Wearne Library, and a full-time trained Librarian was employed. The Library occupied most of the first floor of Sutton House and contained shelving for 8,000 books.

In 1971, while on assignment for the Department of Trade, Max Dupain visited MLC School and on the landing outside the Wearne Library in Sutton House, he ‘strikingly captured the silhouette of a young violinist rehearsing’.

This photograph was used by the Department of Trade to promote Australia’s education system, and was also used by the National Archives of Australia for the cover of their 2007 publication Max Dupain: On Assignment.

In 1983 the new Wearne Library was opened (since incorporated into the Independent Learning Centre, ILC). The site chosen for the new Library was almost directly behind the old one (in Sutton House). The building was raised to first-floor level and the area underneath was paved, providing landscaped gardens and seating.

In 1998 the Independent Learning Centre was opened with the Wearne Library located on its first and second floors.

Our first swimming pool The idea of a swimming pool began in 1929 with the establishment of the P&F. The original members chose as their first objective ‘the provision of a swimming pool in the College grounds’.

The Great Depression and WWII meant that fund raising was a challenge, but on 9 March 1957 the P&F had their ‘fulfilment of a dream’ and the first MLC School pool was officially opened.

Design for the Seventies At the beginning the 1970s many urgent needs were identified: more boarding house accommodations, renovations to existing boarder facilities, additional class rooms and laboratories. A campaign Design for the Seventies was established to achieve these goals. The final ‘dream’ was to build a ‘first class gymnasium’.

This dream came to fruition when in 1978 the gymnasium (now capped within the Aquatic Centre) was finally opened.

From the ashes The devastation of the 1977 fire was substantial with the whole of the Rowley Street and Park Road corner being destroyed.

As always, the School rallied and within a few years two new and important buildings were celebrated in a grand opening in 1981.

For the first time on the campus, the School had a Chapel as well as an impressive new Drama Theatre.

MLC School’s centenary The building project chosen to commemorate 100 years as a school was the Centenary Music Centre.

Opening in 1987, the new home for Music at MLC School contained a recital auditorium, keyboard laboratory, three classrooms and twelve studios, adding great energy to the already flourishing department.

A home for technology When the Independent Learning Centre was opened in 1998 it was the physical centre for the Information Technology and Network Communications for the whole School. Building of the ILC demonstrated an ongoing commitment to the development and improvement of flexible learning spaces that incorporate technological advances.

ILC now is the home of Café 1886, the Wearne Library and the magnificent Ailsa Butcher Room on ILC3. This room contains Foundation Boards recognising our generous donors who made the ILC possible.

The Opening of the Senior Centre | 17

Expansion of our swimming and diving space The award-winning MLC School Aquatic Centre was opened in 2003 by Dawn Fraser AO and Old Girl Olympian, Lorraine Thurlow AM (Crapp, 1955). Its construction expanded physical education programs and provided a comprehensive, year-round learn to swim and squad training program. Generous donors who made the Aquatic Centre possible are recognised on the Foundation Boards within the Aquatic Centre.

The inspired designs of the MLC Junior School (opened in 2009) and Year 6 Centre (opened in 2011) utilise the relationships between space, colour and light to create wonderful places that encourage children to develop their full range of senses and experiences, to nurture their intellectual and creative development, and to capture the young, playful and imaginative world of the inquisitive early learner.

Today All of our innovative spaces have informed the ideas behind our brilliant new Senior Centre.

Developments in the last decade The last decade at MLC School has been about consistently challenging classroom boundaries to improve outcomes for students.

This allows each girl to interact, imagine, multitask, focus, collaborate, create, and innovate, and brings out the best in every student.

With gratitude to our Community The story of MLC School’s expansion over the last 133 years would not have been possible without generous contributions from our Community.

Donations raised by the MLC School Building Fund have assisted, and will continue to assist, financing major capital works of extraordinary vision for the future of all girls at MLC School.

The development of these new learning spaces contain light and comfortable, flexible and agile spaces for collaborative and individual or contemplative tasks. They are equipped with technology and other learning tools to facilitate the development of challenging and relevant curricula for girls to engage in their learning.

Two factors key to continuing this tradition for 21st century learners – tailoring learning to individual needs and the integration of technology – are difficult to achieve in traditional classrooms.

The Opening of the Senior Centre | 23

‘MLC School girls are so lucky to be able to experience our school life in the new building. The modern space itself is not only aesthetically beautiful, it is a wonderful space for learning. I love that the building provides both open spaces for collaboration, and smaller spaces like the little pods that serve as efficient study areas.

When I step through the Senior Centre’s sliding doors, I am always welcomed by a warm school atmosphere that is always so lively.’

Jessica Kuo, MLC School Captain 2019
