Welcome.

Welcome to MLMC's Pathways Website - an online tool to assist you with your pathway choice-making.

Using this Pathway Website

Welcome to the MLMC Pathway Website designed to give student opportunities to take on greater responsibility in decision-making as they develop an academic pathway that will best cultivate their passion, skills and capabilities - to promote excellence and achieve their own success in their education and life beyond school in their future studies or careers.

We offer students multiple pathways through learning-experience at Mount Lilydale Mercy College. With the support of parents, Homeroom Teachers, Faculty Leaders and the Careers Team, students are encouraged to examine their goals and aspirations, their strengths, their passions and the prerequisite requirements for tertiary or vocational courses as they consider which pathway is right for them.

Encouragement from Mr Morison

Welcome to this Pathways Portal experience where you can explore your options and develop a pathway that best engages your passions, skills and abilities - and maximises the future opportunities ahead of you. Navigate this portal with your parents, teachers and our excellent Careers Team as you consider the broad range of subject choices to select, and best prepare you for your tertiary and workplace goals. Consider these three questions:

  • Which subject-streams interest you most?
  • Which future university or vocational courses are you interested in - and what are the prerequisites for entry?
  • Which subjects - individually and when studied together - will be most challenging and rewarding?

I encourage you to be adventurous and aspirational in thinking through these questions as you seek to 'give your best, be your best'. We look forward to being a part of your future successes at Mount Lilydale Mercy College!
