From the Principal

Congratulations to the MLC School community for the enthusiastic support of our inaugural Colour Run. All funds that were raised will go towards MLC School’s first Sony Foundation Camp. At the Camp, Year 11 students will offer around the clock care for children with complex needs, providing them with an amazing experience at the same time as offering respite for their full-time carers.

The event was the brainchild of Deputy Principal Melissa Boyd, and she along with her Executive Assistant Florence Christou, Head of Experiential Learning Sarah Jauncey, and the student leadership team worked tirelessly to make it such a successful day. Our Facilities Team did a fabulous job of turning Burwood Park into a Colour Run arena and we appreciated the support of Burwood Police, Burwood Council and staff and parents from across the school.

This term, I also had the opportunity to spend time with some of our youngest learners – our Kindergarten students. As well as spending time in my office and discussing what they would change if they were Principal for a day, we visited Rev Vinnie, Pastor Caitlin, Deputy Principal Melissa Boyd and explored some of the historic parts of the School. They were surprised to know that at one stage some students slept at School and had their meals in what is now our Chapel. We also viewed the long line of photos of past Principals that adorn the hallway outside the Sutherland Rooms and reflected that MLC School had been on this site for a very long time, longer than anyone who is currently alive!
