Year 5 Canberra Immersion
Last week, Year 5 students enjoyed an educational tour of the national capital. Students were given the opportunity to participate in a variety of educational programs with a focus on Australia’s history, culture, heritage, and democracy.
The Australian Government recognises the importance of all young Australians being able to visit the national capital as part of their Civics and Citizenship education. To assist families in meeting the cost of the excursion the Australian Government is contributing funding to our school in the amount of $30 per student under the Parliament and Civics Education Rebate program towards those costs. The rebate is paid directly to the school upon completion of the excursion. Read more about Year 5’s Experience on this newsletter.

Year 6 Dinner
A personal highlight for this week was the Year 6 dinner. The special occasion is a time to celebrate the achievements of our current Year 6 girls’ years in Junior School with their parents and carers. Our Principal, Lisa Moloney, and I commenced at MLC School when our Year 6 2024 girls commenced Pre-K. It has been a privilege and a delight to witness these young woman grow throughout all their years at MLC Junior School.
To the Year 6 parents and carers, thank you for entrusting us with your daughter during her primary years. To the Parent Ambassadors and helpers, our school community thanks your for all you have given so generously over the years.
Our Year 6 girls have their social, musical and Speech Day to look forward to in the coming weeks.
