Thanks to the generosity of the Old Girls Union Funding Initiative, I am delighted to share that the inaugural edition of <\/span>Carmina Lucem<\/em> is now in the hands of students, teachers and librarians across MLC School. This beautiful publication celebrates the ingenuity and creativity of our students and reflects the School\u2019s strong commitment to nurturing young voices.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The first edition spans 62 pages and is bound in woven hardback with a striking silver\u2011foiled dust jacket, designed by Old Girls Eve Banyer<\/strong> (2025 Visual Arts Captain) and Cassia Davies<\/strong> (2025 Design Captain). It also features a thoughtful foreword by Old Girl Sophia Bucci<\/strong> (2025 Literary Captain). Within its pages are 15 original works by students from Year 6 to Year 12, showcasing a diverse range of forms and genres, including contemporary short fiction, poetry, dramatic monologue and science fiction. Together, these works reflect the breadth of imagination, perspective and talent within the MLC School community.<\/p>\n

I warmly encourage you to spend some time enjoying the exceptional writing and design featured in this collection. A digital version of Carmina Lucem<\/em> is available to read here.<\/a><\/p>\n

I look forward to discovering another year of imaginative and compelling worlds created by our students. Happy writing.<\/p>\n
