Puppy Pageant
The annual School Puppy Pageant was a great success on Monday. Prescott House traditionally holds a dog show to raise funds for the Seeing Eye Dogs (Vision Australia). This year the Junior School (Pre-Kindergarten – Year 5) Prescott House assisted with this loved event and all girls on the Junior School campus dressed for the occasion. You can read the articles in this newsletter by clicking on ‘Dress as a Dog Day’ and ‘Prescott Puppy Pageant’.
Illuminate
It was a wonderful opportunity to showcase our girls’ creative talents during this week’s Illuminate Festival, a joint initiative between our Junior School Art and STEM Departments and the Senior School. This is our version of Vivid. The artistic achievements of all our students never cease to amaze me, and this year’s festival did not disappoint. Congratulations to all students involved.

MLC School Colour Run for Sony Foundation Camp
What a wonderful, fun and super colourful afternoon! And what a great way for the entire School community to come together. A special shout out to our School community, our deepest thanks for your generosity. This will greatly help parents who so desperately need respite, and a wonderful opportunity for service for our senior MLC School students.

Semester 1 School reports for all Junior School students are now available in your ‘My Students’ tab in Omnia. There is a formal time to further discuss your daughter’s progress at our Parent/Teacher Learning Conversations next term.
