A Big Welcome Back to All Parents
In the last few weeks we have enjoyed a number of offsite community events and welcomed external visitors into the School after a long COVID-imposed moratorium on such gatherings. How lovely it has been to mix with parents and members of the School community in person! We are certainly making up for lost time with recent activities including:-
– Welcoming new and prospective families back onto campus for the first MLC School Tour day for more than 12 months. This tour was fully subscribed two weeks before it’s closing date with so many families eager to take a look around the School.
– Welcoming parents and students from across Sydney to the Grand Finals of the ISDA debating (in which our Year 8 team won their competition after being undefeated all year and our Year 9 girls were runners up after being narrowly defeated by Sydney Grammar)
– Listening to marvellous Piano Festival performances
– The 135th Year Celebration Dinner at the Hilton Hotel
– Being absolutely awed by an exceptional night of Jazz at the Camelot Lounge (photos are on the MLC School Facebook page)
– Being treated to a fabulous Junior School assembly hosted by Year 3
Of course, this was on top of the usual array of sporting and co-curricular activities offered every week. Such events and activities take an enormous amount of time and energy, often on top of already demanding teaching roles. On behalf of the whole School community I would like to thank everyone involved in organising and hosting these events.
Our Major Musical Event for 2021 “Triumph and Tragedy” will be held at one of Australia’s finest concert venues, City Recital Hall, Angel Place on Wednesday 14 July 2021. I’m excited to extend a warm welcome to all new families. Please join us for this celebration of music and witness the performance and musical opportunities given to all girls at MLC School. Please see full details in the Events section of this newsletter.
