From the Head of Junior School

It was a delight for our Year 6 and Year 2 girls to have many of their parents and carers to visit for their Celebration of Learning. Thank you for showing your daughter how important her schooling is by taking time out of your own busy day to visit her learning spaces. 

International Night 

You may have noticed some flags at the car park entrance to the Junior School campus. This is a little taste of what is to come. There will be many more flags on display at our upcoming International Night on Friday 4 April 2025. This is an event not to be missed!

Susan McLean 

It was wonderful to see so many parents take advantage of Cyber Safety expert Susan McLean’s presentation on Wednesday evening. Our thanks to our P&F for making this possible. Please read our Principal’s article in this week’s newsletter. 

Parents are welcome on campus each morning 

I delight in seeing our parents on campus in the mornings, our friendly canteen staff are waiting to serve you coffee or other refreshments. When classes commence at 8.30am, thank you for exiting and providing parking spaces for our Pre-Kindergarten parents who are soon to arrive. Our Pre-Kindergarten parents need to park and walk their young daughters into school. 

Round Square Workshop 

On Thursday, MLC School hosted a ‘Round Square’ workshop for primary school educators across the state and beyond. Our Deputy Head of Junior School – Wellbeing, Joanne Sharpe, presented, as well as some of our Year 5 students. More details will be forthcoming in next week’s newsletter.
