PLC Victoria offers the following programmes: Diploma.
PLC is a Presbyterian school for girls founded in 1875. Preparatory to Year 12 day students; boarding is available at Years 7 to 12. Presbyterian Ladies' College is a Christian, independent school for girls, continuing a distinguished tradition of providing breadth, strength and quality of educational opportunity for balanced, lifelong, personal development, leadership and service.
From the first, students were encouraged to aim for the highest possible personal achievements in academic studies. Students from the College were the first women admitted to the University of Melbourne and were the first women to graduate from the Faculty of Medicine.
The College continues to foster such academic aims among its students, and to broaden the horizons of today's girls throughout the School's international focus.
Small class sizes have always been a feature of the College.
