Acting Head of Senior School

What a term we have had! As I reflect on the term and we reach the end of another successful year, I would like to take this opportunity to thank our community for your continued support for your daughter’s education. Term 4 has filled with learning, growth, joy and many memorable moments.

In addition to the wonderful teaching and learning opportunities, in Term 4 we have introduced our Captains, Prefects and student leadership teams, today we recognised our Year 12 leaders at our Leadership Assembly. Our focus for all  students is that they are responsible for leading and shaping the ethos of our School as ‘keepers of culture’. We are looking forward to our annual House Christmas challenge on Wednesday 4 December. The House Captains and students have been rehearsing with passion, for what we hope will be a fun filled close to the year.

I look forward to seeing you all at Speech Night on Thursday 5 December at at 5.30pm. This will be held in the International Convention Centre (ICC), Sydney, on Thursday 5 December and is a traditional and most significant event in the life of the MLC School Community.

Students are not expected at school on Thursday, however student attendance at Speech Night is compulsory.

All students from Year 7 to Year 11, who are not involved in the rehearsal are asked to arrive at 4.15pm to have their names marked off, uniform checked and be seated.

MLC School staff will be in the foyer of the ICC, to guide students into the theatre where they will have their uniform checked and name marked off by their Luminary. The ceremony starts at 5.30pm by which time everyone must be seated. Doors will open at 5pm for parents and guests.

As we look towards 2025, we are committed to providing a supportive and stimulating environment for all to thrive, and hope everyone has an opportunity to spend quality time family and loved ones for a enjoy a restful and rejuvenating break. We look forward to seeing our students return invigorated and excited for all the opportunities in 2025.
