Grandparents Day 

Today we celebrated Grandparents Day, and it was a truly wonderful occasion for grandparents, significant others, and the girls. Following morning tea, the girls sang a welcome song to our visitors, with adults beaming with joy and pride. Following the performances and welcome, our grandparents and significant others had the opportunity to visit the studios. I overheard many comments such as ‘I didn’t have that when I was a school’ and ‘I wish my school was like this’! The day was filled with smiles, laughter, and cherished moments. Thank you, grandparents and significant others, for making this a memorable day.

Booralee House Chapel, Prescott House Chapel and Assembly 

Last Sunday we hosted the Booralee and Prescott House Chapels. Both were beautiful services. It was also history in the making for Prescott as this was their very first Kindergarten to Year 5 House Chapel. On Thursday, Prescott hosted our Kindergarten to Year 5 assembly. The focus for their service learning is the Puppy Pageant, aligning with Year 6 to Year 12 long standing service tradition. More information will be forthcoming. Booralee are assisting to host the fund raising for the Colour Run, you can read more about in this newsletter and register you daughter to participate. I’d like to thank the many families are already supporting this worthy cause. 

Uniform Reminder 

MLC School is a progressive, independent girls’ school underpinned by tradition. One of our traditions, in which we take great pride, is the appearance of our students. I often receive comments from members of the public when our girls are on an excursion about how well presented, and what a wonderful school MLC School must be. In the Junior School, the presentation of each girl is often dependent upon her parents. Thank you for ensuring your daughter is in her full school or sports uniform (on PE days). That she has her school hat, school badges are in the middle of her tunic or tie (if wearing trousers) and earrings are sleepers or studs only. We are indeed very proud of our wonderful school and how the girls present themselves.
