Issue 19 - 11 April 2024

From the Principal

Our Mission states that we strive to educate and inspire our graduates to ‘be agents of change in their own lives and the lives of others’ and there is no doubt that we are successful in doing so; the Old Girls of MLC School help to make the world a better place across a wide range of endeavours and many continents.

Two of our remarkable Alumnae were acknowledged in the 2024 Australia Day awards. Our congratulations to:

Bronwyn Brown (Henry, 1964) was awarded an OAM ‘For service to the community through music’ and Professor Elizabeth New (2000) was awarded an OAM ‘For service to science as a researcher in chemical biology and molecular imaging’.

A student at MLC School for her high school years, Bronwyn was a Senior Prefect in her final year. She went on to complete a BSc at the University of Sydney and then commenced a distinguished career in teaching mathematics and music.

Bronwyn excelled in both fields; she was the Head of Mathematics and an Accompanist at both Roseville College and St Aidan’s Anglican College, Brisbane, and at Canberra Girls Grammar School she was the Organ Teacher.

At Radford College, Canberra, where she has been a long serving staff member, Bronwyn is an Accompanist, the Director of Keyboard and is involved in Performing Arts Administration.

Professor New’s commitment to excellence and mentorship has inspired countless young scientists. As a dedicated educator and mentor, she has cultivated a nurturing environment where intellectual curiosity thrives, instilling in her students the values of rigorous inquiry, innovation, and perseverance.

Beyond her scientific research and exemplary teaching, Professor New is dedicated to fostering diversity and inclusion within the scientific community. Through her advocacy and mentorship initiatives, she has worked tirelessly to dismantle barriers and create pathways of opportunity for underrepresented groups, ensuring that the scientific community reflects the humanity it serves.

MLC School recognises and celebrates the women who, like Bronwyn and Elizabeth are prepared to think differently; have courage and conviction; and lead with passion, through the MLC School Alumnae Awards and I am keen to see the list of extraordinary women who will receive their awards on 3 May at the Alumnae Awards and Back to College Dinner.

Celebrating The Contribution of our Long Serving Teachers and School Staff

With years of dedicated service, our long-serving staff members have become an integral part of MLC School, embodying a wealth of knowledge, dedication, and loyalty. They have worked across several years of cohorts and our ever-changing environment, therefore becoming the most valued parts of our school community.

At this years Celebration of Service Dinner (which is held every five years) a total of 115 long serving staff were acknowledged for their commitment and contribution to MLC School.

A special mention is due to the 12 staff who have been with us for over 20 years and therefore received their 20-year pin. These faces may be familiar to most readers.

Trinh Nguyen (29 years)
Lynne Bondar (28 years)
Helen Kondos (27 years)
Antonella Accurso (26 years
Carla Comitogianni (26 years)
Lynne Slarke (25 years)
Annie Conway (24 years)
Manuel Condoleon (22 years)
Robyn Langford (22 years)
Kestie Neligan (22 years)
Bryce Lindstrom (21 years)
Vicky Zinopoulos (20 years)

They have not only contributed their time, energy and expertise but have also navigated and adapted to remarkable change during their time at MLC School. In some cases, they now teach the children of students that they taught in their early years at the School!

MLC School Old Girl Named for Paris Olympics

Congratulations to MLC School Old Girl Ella Beere, 2016 Sport Captain, recently announced on the Australian Olympic team for Sprint Kayaking.

Ella is the front seat paddler in the K4 event and together with her team, are thrilled to be given the opportunity to race on the World’s biggest stage in August.

‘MLC School has been a big part of my journey as a paddler. I took up the sport in Year 10 and my teachers and peers empowered me to be able to race at Junior Worlds in my final two years of school (2015 and 2016) and also complete my HSC. I even studied French from Year 7 to 10 and now I get to compete in Paris. It is a dream come true.’

I have been in touch with Ella, and she has said ‘I really miss the MLC School Sports department… Some of my most treasured memories from school come from there. The squad is living on the Gold Coast until we go away but when I am in NSW next, I would love to come in. I’m very excited to give it my all in Paris.’

We wish Ella and the team all the best for August in Paris and will be cheering her on!

Continued Success for 2023 Cohort

We were delighted to hear the news of Old Girl Despina Stamoulos Year 12 2023. Despina has been recognised for her achievements in the study of Modern Greek Beginners which she studied through the NSW School of Languages. Despina was placed 9^th in the state and this was was recognised at the Dionysios Solomos Awards, which are organised annually by the Greek Orthodox Community of NSW. Proud parents and teachers packed into MacLaurin Hall at the University of Sydney, to celebrate students who excelled in their study of Modern and Classical Greek in the HSC. The awards celebrated the importance of foreign languages and how this helps in maintaining a strong connection to familial heritage and culture through the learning of their mother tongue.

We are always thrilled to hear of the achievements of the girls being recognised in the broader community and are very proud of Despina’s accomplishments.

Celebrating our Intergenerational Connections

The Intergenerational High Tea gathering held at MLC School brought together students, alumni, and parents in a fabulous celebration of the lasting connections between Old Girls and current students at the School. As generations mingled, laughter and stories filled the air, bridging the gap between past and present. From reminiscing about school days to discussing career paths and life lessons, each interaction fostered mutual respect and understanding. Through delicious baked treats and conversations, attendees celebrated the school’s rich history and enduring values, passing down wisdom and inspiration to the next generation. We had guests who graduated from as early as 1950, to current Junior School students as young as Year 2. A special mention goes out to the Prince family (1965, 1987, 2027), who had three generations of students attend!

The event served as a reminder of the timeless bonds forged within the MLC community, transcending age and fostering lifelong connections.

Girls Speak at NSW RSL and Schools Remember ANZAC Commemoration

With ANZAC day approaching, many across the country are turning their attention towards the myriad commemorative events the will be held. On 4 April 2024, seven MLC School girls assisted at the NSW RSL and Schools Remember ANZAC Commemoration in Hyde Park.

During the service Sophia (Year 11) gave the memorial address, speaking in front of such dignitaries as the Premier of NSW, Mr Chris Minns. Sophia’s excellent commentary reminded the crowd of the role service men and women have played to defend and support Australia and her allies. Moreover, she reflected on the important role families played in supporting their loved ones serving abroad, and the country more widely in times of war. Importantly, Sophia beseeched the crowd to consider the importance of communication, respect, dignity and embracing diversity, as measures to encourage peace throughout the world.

Supporting the event were the following MLC School Year 9 Cadets serving as ushers: Nicola, Rose, Meena, Hannah, Adelaide, Soraya. These girls ensured; dignitaries were seated appropriately, schools knew where to locate themselves, and the wreath laying ceremony ran smoothly, as they handed wreaths to, and directed the official party where to place them.

It was an honour to attend in support of these fine students, who represented the School with dignity and pride.

Careers and Tertiary Expo 2024

The Careers Expo is a special event for MLC School, organised by Jo Cilia, our Head of Careers and Academic Advising, assisted by careers teacher Karyn Jarvis. Parents spent time with their daughters investigating the many career and tertiary education opportunities on offer. Year 11 is a great time to do this, so that students can take advantage of open days, gap years and work experience with a year of planning in advance.

The Careers Expo also gave our TVET Entertainment students a chance to log workplacement hours and achieve key competencies for their course, by stage managing the event. They worked with exhibitors, directed traffic in the car park and helped to set up and bring down the displays – specific skills for event management in a safe and familiar setting, working with their peers. They did an amazing job and feature this week as one of our images. Photographed with Karyn are Imogen (Year 11), Ashley (Year 11), Jay (Year 11), Laura (Year 11), Kaitlyn (Year 11) and Jasmine (Year 11) .

Harmony Day

On 5 April, MLC School celebrated its inaugural Harmony Day. This event was a fantastic opportunity to appreciate the diverse cultures represented in our school community. As a country that is home to the world’s oldest continuous culture and a hub for newcomers from around the globe, Australia is a testament to multiculturalism.

The Senior School and Cafe were adorned with flags and orange decorations, symbolizing the spirit of diversity. Throughout the week, students were exposed to fascinating facts about Australia’s multicultural fabric via digital signage and announcements. The library featured books by authors from various cultures, offering students a chance to delve deeper into cultural issues and gain diverse perspectives.

Friday was designated as a mufti day, with students contributing a gold coin donation. The proceeds were donated to The House of Welcome, an Australian organization that provides shelter and fosters empowering communities for asylum seekers and refugees. Staff and students embraced the day by dressing in traditional cultural attire such as elaborate Chinese dress (cheongsam), colourful South Asian dress (lehengas and salwars), Middle Eastern headdress (keffiyeh), colours of their flags, sport jerseys of their country or wearing orange, a colour that signifies freedom of ideas and meaningful conversations in the context of Harmony Week.

The amphitheatre was abuzz with excitement during lunchtime performances by our Year 12 girls. The event kicked off with Cara’s Irish dance, followed by Lebanese drumming and dancing by Bariah, Danielle, Sara, and Sally. The energy was palpable as Aahana, Anikah, Seraya, Saalbhinii, Vishaalini, and I performed a Bollywood dance. The enthusiastic cheers and applause were so loud that I had difficulty introducing the performances! The performances concluded with an open dance floor where everyone had the chance to learn new dance moves and songs.

In conclusion, Harmony Day at MLC School was a resounding success, fostering a sense of inclusiveness, respect, and belonging among all students. It was a wonderful platform to celebrate our diverse community and learn about different cultures. I hope everyone enjoyed the day as much as I did, and I eagerly anticipate more opportunities to celebrate our diversity throughout the year.

Immersion Plays an Important Role at MLC School

At MLC School, camps and excursions play a pivotal role in enriching the educational experience and fostering holistic development among students. By immersing students in diverse settings, such as outdoor camps, cultural excursions, and community service projects, MLC School cultivates resilience, adaptability, and leadership skills. Through hands-on activities and experiential learning, students gain practical knowledge and apply classroom concepts in authentic contexts, deepening their understanding and appreciation of the world around them.

Here are a few of the recent trips our girls embarked on.

Year 7 Adventurers Camp

On Wednesday 7 February, Year 7 along with 13 of their teachers travelled to Killalea Regional Park to participate in three action packed days of activities. The Adventurers Camp is always an exciting time for the Year 7 cohort as they come together to experience the new, the challenging and the fun together. The time away was centred on establishing positive relationships not only with each other but also with key staff who will be supporting them across the year. Students shared tents with one another, learned how to cook with each other, managed sharing facilities with 160 of their (hopefully now) closest friends and attempted to problem solve together.

Over the course of the three days students took part in:

Indigenous cultural workshops where they learnt about the local flora and fauna to the South Coast.
Surfing lessons, where some students confidently stood up and showed off their skills on the waves.
Mountain biking! With students sometimes getting on a bike for the first time in several years or months and working hard to navigate some tricky (and hilly) terrain!
Canoeing and swimming! While the wind interrupted this for some, many got to experience a paddle up and down the river, learning about who steers and who powers the canoes.
Team building activities, which culminated in an Olympic-styled tournament. In their House groups rather than showing off their sporting prowess they had to problem solve, show off their balance, work out puzzles and riddles and show strong team support.
Cooking lessons which involved them safely using their trangias to create a gourmet dinner. Slicing and dicing ingredients, stirring the pot so the sauce didn’t stick and boiling up pasta.

Year 10 PASS Surf Awareness Excursion

Year 10 PASS classes hit Bondi Beach for a surf excursion with ‘Lets go Surfing’ linked to our learning and assessment in the unit “Promoting Active Lifestyles.” Boogie boarding stole the show for me as it was more of a group task. We all surfed, many managing to stand up for varying lengths of time which was also entertaining. Despite the rain later in the morning, the day emphasised the importance of health and how easy fitness integration can be.

Year 6 Immersion

Year 6 girls have spent this week at Chowder Bay and Sydney Zoo as part of their Immersion experience learning about animal adaptations and their marine biology study. I had the privilege of visiting the Year 6 students onsite and having dinner with the classes that had their sleep over on Wednesday night.

Year 11 Business Students Combine to Explore Concepts in Context

Our Year 11 Business students embarked on an exciting educational journey to Taronga Zoo, delving deep into the intricate world of one of Sydney’s longstanding tourism businesses. This thrilling excursion was not only an opportunity for our budding entrepreneurs to explore one of Australia’s most iconic attractions but also a chance to gain invaluable insights into the inner workings of marketing processes within a unique social enterprise.

One of the highlights of the trip was the exploration of Taronga Zoo’s marketing strategies. Students were provided with a behind-the-scenes look at the zoo’s innovative marketing processes, which have played a pivotal role in attracting visitors and fostering engagement. From digital campaigns to experiential marketing initiatives, students gained a deeper appreciation for the multifaceted approaches employed by Taronga Zoo to reach and captivate their audience.

Moreover, the excursion served as a lens through which students could examine corporate social responsibility (CSR) from a unique perspective. By witnessing firsthand the zoo’s conservation efforts and community outreach programs, students gained a deeper understanding of the importance of CSR in fostering positive social impact while maintaining business viability.

North Queensland Experience (Year 11)

As part of their North Queensland Experience trip, the girls have really enjoyed their visit to the Daintree Rainforest, the Cairns night markets, and now two days snorkeling on the reef. They are about to embark on an Aboriginal immersion, hunting and gathering near Port Douglas, followed by more rainforest learning for the next day.

Callback 2023 – HSC Dance

On Thursday 15 February, Dance students from Year 9 to Year 12 attended Callback 2023 – a showcase that presents exemplary HSC works from students all over NSW.

This year our girls had the opportunity of supporting two MLC School 2023 graduates, Ilaria Korompay and Ruby Newton, who presented their core composition and major study performance works. It was pleasure to support our students on stage, including current Year 10 student Isabella who performed Ilaria’s composition, and would like to congratulate them on this achievement.

Moreover, camps and excursions provide invaluable opportunities for building meaningful relationships among peers and teachers, fostering a sense of belonging and camaraderie within the MLC School community. Overall, these experiences not only enhance academic achievement but also nurture personal growth, social responsibility, and lifelong learning among students at MLC School.

Junior School Churunga House | Crazy Hair Day

MLC Junior School enthusiastically participated in the World’s Greatest Shave, raising funds for the Leukaemia Foundation. Students, staff, and families came together, shaving heads or dyeing hair to show support. Alongside the shave, MLC School organised a toy drive for the children at Westmead Hospital showcasing our commitment to giving back. As part of our long-standing MLC School values, these efforts fostered solidarity, empathy, and respect within our community, embodying our school’s spirit of generosity and compassion.

We hosted Crazy Hair Day, and the students raised more than $1500 for this very worthwhile charity. We collected 25 boxes of toys for Westmead Hospital. Teachers in the Junior School coloured, cut or shaved their hair at our lunch time event in front of the entire Junior School. A very brave student, Peita (Year 4), also cut her hair. These lengths of hair have been donated to make wigs. Well done to the Churunga Teachers, Captains, Monitors and Students for your hard work and thank you to the Junior School teachers, students and families for your creative hair styles, your participation and generous donations of money and toys.
