From the Head of Junior School

This week the Junior School held our Term 3 P&F Meeting. Our School would not function as well as it does without this dedicated group of parents. If you can spare a little time in person or online, I encourage you to join this support team of parents at our Term 4 meeting.  

Science Week 

This week the Junior School celebrated Science Week with many great and challenging activities during our Kindergarten to Year 5 assembly time. It was so much fun working together to discover the ‘secret codes’. Thanks goes to our dedicated STEM Teachers Bede Schofield and Marie Cassar.  

MLC School Colour Run Prizes 

Thank you again to everyone for supporting our the MLC School Colour Run for Sony Foundation Camp at the end of Term 2. If your child has earnt a prize, it will be distributed next week.  

Prescott House is joining the Junior School Campus 

You will have received communication this week that Prescott House is joining the Junior School Campus in 2025. We have already received communication from some families who are willing to join Prescott next year. Below are some questions and answers for any other families who are considering this option. 

Q: If my child joins Prescott in Year 5, will she be in Prescott in Year 6?
A: Year 5 Prescott students will join either Prescott or sister House, Wade, in Year 6.

Q: If I have a daughter in Senior School who is in a different House to my daughter in Junior School, will they be in the same House when my youngest daughter is in Year 6?
A: Yes. We always keep siblings in the same House from Kindergarten to Year 5 and from Year 6 to Year 12. This is regardless of the new  ‘Sister House’ structure for Year 6 to Year 12.



Book Week is Coming 

It is officially Book Week next week. Please refer to the Book Week story and our Library News about all our Book Week activities, including the Book Fair and Parade. 

 Father’s Day Breakfast 

We look forward seeing our Dads (or others) and their daughters at the Father’s Day Breakfast on the main campus next Friday 30 August 2024 between 7.30am and 8.15am. Following that, on the Junior School campus for Pre-Kindergarten to Year 5, will be a paper plane challenge for our visitors and girls. We look forward to seeing you there.
