Acknowledgment of Year 10 Volunteers

We extend our gratitude to our Year 10 mentors for their commendable efforts during the MLC School Colour Run at Burwood Park. These students took the time to mentor and support Year 6 students, fostering enthusiastic participation throughout the afternoon.
 
Volunteering and leadership are intrinsically linked. Through volunteering, individuals have the opportunity to cultivate leadership skills, motivate others, and create an environment that encourages active involvement. This connection was notably demonstrated by the volunteers.

Getaway Breakout Space in SC101 

Starting in Week 1 of Term 3 (Tuesday 22 July 2025), the Learning Enhancement Department will introduce Getaway, an alternative space available to students during break times and before school. This initiative will be piloted throughout Term 3. Students may utilise this space as an alternative to the playground. Members of the Learning Enhancement Team have generously volunteered their time to support this initiative and will be present to offer guidance on upcoming assignments, exams, and homework. The space will function both as a drop-in centre for some students and as a sustained quiet environment for others.

Students are expected to be respectful and considerate of diverse needs, as students who attend Getaway will do so for a variety of reasons. 

Getaway will operate:

  • Before school Monday and Tuesday: 7.45am–8.15am 
  • Recess: Wednesday and Thursday 
  • Lunch: Every day
