MLC School P&F- A Year of Connection and Growth

2024 has been another busy year of connection and growth for our school community.

The main aim of the P&F this year was to continue to build and strengthen our parent community. Parents and carers have been invited to enjoy many school events that have taken place on school grounds including; The Principals Welcome event, Mothers’ Day and Fathers’ Day Breakfasts, Sunday House Chapel services, drama and dance performances, Illuminate, Music and sporting events and P&F Parent Forums. These are wonderful opportunities to catch up with and meet other parents and carers not only in the same year group but from across the whole school.

There have also been many other events that parents have had the joy of attending such as the Mothers’ Day Classic in The Domain, Showcase at NIDA, Music concerts at The Sydney Town Hall and P&F catch up events organised by Ambassadors and the P&F Executive. We encourage all families to be involved in school events when and where possible as it really is a great opportunity to feel part of the community and meet others in a casual, relaxed environment. We are fortunate to be part of a school that offers such a wide range of activities and quality events.

The P&F is committed to supporting and working with the School to enhance the school experience for all students and families. Our meetings have been a great opportunity to share ideas, hear from the School leadership team, and collaborate on initiatives that benefit students. This year we have seen the fruition of the after-school study program for Senior students, extension of Library and Cafe hours in the Senior school and worked on the expansion of new school merchandise, which will be available next year. We have increased the opening times of the second-hand uniform shop and organised the very popular signature notebooks to our Year 12 students.

Thank you to all the volunteers and supporters who have made this year such a success. Your time, energy, and input are so valuable and make a difference. There will be more opportunities for parents and carers to be involved next year, which is something to look forward to. We are always ready to welcome parents and carers who are interested in participating in and organising school events. We understand that people are busy as we are too, but every bit of involvement helps and is appreciated by the whole school community.

We would also like to sincerely thank and acknowledge the teachers and School leadership team who are dedicated to making MLC School the amazing, busy place that it is. We appreciate the work and time it takes to provide so many opportunities for our daughters in all areas of the school, both in and out of the classroom. Special thanks must go to Principal Lisa Moloney, Deputy Principal Melissa Boyd, Head of Marketing and Community Relations Michele Dunn and Events and Social Media Coordinator Jillian Avramis who we have worked closely with throughout the year.

Wishing all our community a safe and happy holiday season and new year,

– Felicity Clemens
P&F President
