Book Week at MLC School – A Celebration of Tradition and the Joy of Reading

Book Week has long been a treasured tradition at MLC School, one that many Old Girls will remember fondly. This year, the spirit of storytelling and imagination was alive and well, as students embraced a week filled with author visits, the Great Book Swap (with thanks to Mooramoora), a whole School Book Picnic, and joyful reading activities. Despite the rain, enthusiasm never waned.

A highlight, as always, was the Book Week Parade. For our Year 6 girls, it marked one of their final Junior School celebrations, a rite of passage many Old Girls will recall. Dressed as beloved book characters, the girls paraded through Daphne Line Hall, sharing their love of reading with parents and carers. Our Year 5 Library Leaders captured reflections from younger students, who spoke of adventure, imagination and the joy of reading with family.

We extend heartfelt thanks to our families for supporting the Book Swap, and to our dedicated Teacher-Librarian Sharon Seymour and the Library Department for bringing this special week to life.

Book Week continues to reflect MLC School’s enduring commitment to literacy, creativity and the transformative power of books. For generations of MLC girls, reading has been a gateway to self-expression, discovery and lifelong learning, and that legacy remains as strong as ever.
