From the Head of Junior School
It has been another engaging and exciting week of learning for our Junior School, on campus and off campus, for students and parents.
Guest Speaker Kasey Edwards – With special thanks to our MLC School P&F
On Wednesday evening MLC School hosted renowned guest speak and author of Raising Girls Who Like Themselves, Kasey Edwards. I highly commend this book to you. Kasey spoke to our parents about parent guilt, the power of perspective (focus on what you have), find and nurture your daughter’s strengths and grit. Thank you to the many parents who attended this very informative session.
Mooramoora ‘Colour Day’
On Thursday 31 August 2023 Mooramoora House will be raising money for a very worthy cause, ‘Project India’. Please read more about this in our newsletter. Girls are asked to bring a $2 gold coin donation to dress up in ‘bright colours’. There will also be rainbow-coloured bracelets for sale by donation. To cover costs, we suggestion a $3 plus donation for each bracelet. Thank you again for your support to provide an education for children in India.
Outdoor Adventure Camps for Year 4
Year 4 had a very successful three-day and two-night adventure at Tallong in the Southern Highlands. They engaged in all sorts of fun outdoor activities from low ropes, to bushwalking, mountain bike riding, flying fox and more. We look forward to reading all about it in next week’s newsletter.
