At home at school, PLC provides a so many opportunities for country boarders

PLC is modern Melbourne, a school for today’s girls with a rich heritage, a welcoming community and an exciting future. Founded in 1875, PLC has a proud tradition of producing young women of the highest calibre who go on to make a significant contribution in their world. We instill in girls a love of learning within a broad stimulating curriculum that celebrates encouragement, respect and self-discipline. Our outstanding holistic education focuses on each girl’s personal growth and leadership. Our staff are highly involved in their students’ learning journeys and focus on the individual student, nurturing and affirming girls, enabling them to achieve their personal goals.

At PLC, girls are also encouraged to stretch themselves and become critical thinkers and problem-solvers, able to look outside themselves at the challenges facing their world and take responsibility for helping and contributing where they can.

In recent years, the College has undergone an unprecedented transformation that has seen the development of a state-of-the-art new performing arts centre; a new learning resource centre, a new library, IT and AV labs; a dedicated Year 7 centre, a new visual arts centre, a new Year 11 centre, a new Year 12 Centre, a new hockey and tennis facility, the complete redevelopment of our science precinct facilities and the total transformation of the Year 7, 8 and 9 classroom precinct.

PLC offers academic, music, general excellence and boarding scholarships for girls entering at Years 7 to 11 in Senior School. Christian families, daughters and relatives of Old Collegians are encouraged to apply. There is also a 35 per cent discount for some vacancies for Old Collegian families.
