MLC Girls Become World-Read Women

As one of Australia’s leading independent girls’ schools, MLC has a proud tradition of welcoming boarders from rural and regional areas as well as countries all around the world, with our Tiddeman Boarding House offers a home away from home for approximately 120 Year 7 to Year 12 students. We are located just 8km from the cultural vibrancy of Melbourne’s CBD, with the bustling urban centre of Hawthorn is also our doorstep.

MLC offers one of the largest and most varied curricula and co-curricula in Australia. With 30 sports and a wide range of committees and clubs, there is a wealth of opportunities. Find out more about the MLC Difference here: Why MLC? The Boarding House upholds a strong sense of community spirit with organised weekend activities, an annual Boarders’ drama production, dedicated Boarding sporting programs and special event nights.

Tiddeman Boarding House combines tradition with contemporary living and technology, creating a warm, supportive environment. We provide an environment that offers the balance of flexibility and structure, privacy and connection.

We understand that the transition to boarding can be daunting, and our experienced and passionate team of staff are committed to delivering best practice residential care. For those not from Melbourne, it gives students an opportunity to familiarise themselves with the city and makes transitions into future tertiary studies far easier. We are proud to foster a community culture of support and diversity, where lifelong friendships are made.

Boarding Scholarships for 2021 Entry are now open.
