Principal's welcome

Welcome to PLC – a school where academic excellence, belonging and opportunity come together to create an extraordinary educational journey.

As the oldest existing independent girls’ school in Victoria, PLC has played a pivotal role in the education of thousands of young women. Today, we are proud to be known for our academic excellence, our expert teachers, our engaging learning environment and our welcoming community connected by contemporary Christian values.

With a rich heritage and breadth of educational offerings, PLC empowers every student to achieve her personal best. But we also know that learning is about more than results – it’s about feeling supported, seen, and inspired. Every girl here is part of a warm, inclusive sisterhood that values kindness, connection, and authenticity. Through celebrating individuality, we form empowered women of character who change the world for good. 

PLC is alive with opportunity, both within and beyond the classroom. From co-curricular programs and student-led clubs to leadership pathways and spirited House events, there’s something for every girl to explore and enjoy. And with a seamless, single-site campus journey from ELC to Year 12, our students are nurtured through every stage of their development – growing in confidence, curiosity, and self-belief.

Set on spacious, park-like grounds with outstanding facilities, PLC is uniquely placed to deliver a world-class, holistic education for both day and boarding students.

Choosing a school is a momentous decision and I thank you for considering PLC for your daughter’s education.
