Interim IB Coordinator and Farewell to Olivia Nolan

We are delighted to announce that Priscilla Quintana, Assistant Head of Languages, has been appointed as the Interim IB Coordinator until the end of the year. Priscilla brings a wealth of experience from her previous roles in independent schools, including her recent positions as Head of Languages at Waverley College and Year 11 Spanish ab initio teacher at Kambala. Priscilla has taught Italian ab initio to the current Year 12 IB students and is currently teaching Spanish ab initio to the Year 11 IB students.

At the same time, we bid farewell to Olivia Nolan, whose last day at MLC School is today, Friday 16 August. Olivia will be moving to The King’s School as their IB Coordinator from next week, where she will have the exciting opportunity to build up their IB Diploma Programme from the beginning, as they are offering the pathway for the first time to Year 11 in 2025. While we are excited for Olivia’s new role, it is with sadness that we see her leave, having started teaching here in 2003.

Should you need to contact Priscilla about the IB Diploma Programme, her email address is pquintana@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au.
