From the Head of Junior School
It is always a delight to welcome all our girls back to an exciting new school term. Their faces were beaming as they entered the red carpet and Year 6 Centre reconnecting with friends and teachers. A special welcome to the new families that have joined our MLC School community.
Thank you for ensuring your daughter is at school on time. Girls need to be at school before 8.15am (Year 6), 8.30am (Kindergarten to Year 5) and 9am (Pre-Kindergarten).
A reminder that Park Road is NOT to be used during our drop off and pick up times. We have staff on duty in the car park to assist your daughter enter and exit school safely.
I look forward to connecting with you throughout the term. That may be at car drop off, onsite at the canteen with a coffee before 8.30am, at our upcoming Parent/Teacher Learning Conversations or at one of our many cherished events.
NAIDOC Week 2025
National NAIDOC Week is celebrated across Australia in the first week of July each year. As this event falls during the school holidays, we celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples during the first week of Term 3. This year’s NAIDOC Week theme is ‘The Next Generation: Strength, Vision and Legacy’ with all students from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12 in attendance at our School NAIDOC ceremony. Our thanks to Tim Lennon, Director of Indigenous Education, and all involved in this special event.
100 Days of Kindergarten
It was a delight to see so many ‘old’ students in Kindergarten as we celebrated ‘100 Days of Kindergarten’. Our thanks to the all the parents who got involved in the spirit of the day and participated in the activities.
NAPLAN and Parent/Teacher Learning Conversations
NAPLAN results for Year 3 and Year 5 will soon be sent to Junior School families. If Junior School parents would like to discuss these results with your daughter’s grade teacher, there is an opportunity at our upcoming Parent/Teacher Learning Conversations. All Junior School parents and carers have received instructions to make either an online appointment (for grade teachers during the day, specialist teachers and if your daughter has a different Mathematics teacher) or a face-to-face appointment with your daughter’s grade teacher after school.
Father’s Day Gift
Our dedicated P&F are working hard to support this year’s Father’s (and others) personalised gift, raffle, store and paper plane competition. Please read around the information provided in this week’s newsletter.
