From the Head of Junior School
It was lovely to see so many parents and carers onsite this week for our Celebrations of Learning for Year 2 and Year 3. Thank you for taking the time to visit and ‘celebrate’ your daughter’s learning here at MLC School. Your participation and support emphasises to our girls the importance of giving their best at school.
When we commence Term 3, our Junior School campus will be looking a little different as our renovations will have commenced. Under construction will be new music rooms and practice rooms, a new school canteen and Year 5 studio, providing space for our Year 1 to Year 4 studios. Please take the time to read my Welcome to Term 3 correspondence that will be sent prior to the term commencing. I will provide you with an update and any changes resulting from the renovations. There will be some changes to routines and rooms. I know that when it is all done, the results will be well worth the small amount of inconvenience.

Each term the Junior School has a focus on one of our School values. This term the focus was on compassion.

Evelyn won equal first place and will now be performing in the DiMeena Centre for Classical Music in Manhattan, New York in August. Congratulations Evelyn!
School Reports
Semester 1 School Reports for all Junior School students are now available via the My Student icon on the My MLC School Portal. The report is then available under the Assessment Report button. There is a formal time to further discuss your daughter’s progress at our Learning Conversations (Parent Teacher Interviews) early next term. Further information about how to book a time will be forthcoming when Term 3 commences.
ICAS
Year 3 to Year 6 parents have been sent an invitation for their daughter to participate in the 2022 ICAS competition. Please check your email inbox for this correspondence.
Father’s Day Stall
Spoiler alert for dads!
Along with our traditional Father’s Day stall, this year all Junior School girls will be making personalised tumblers for their dad, granddad, uncle or other significant male. The tumblers (large heat proof cups with lids) are designed by each girl at school and will be packed and delivered to the girls in time for Father’s Day.

Wishing you all quality time with your daughters during this this mid-semester break. I look forward to seeing girls return in their full winter uniform for Term 3 on Tuesday 19 July 2022.
