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 walked along the red carpet and into the Year 6 Centre, reconnecting with friends and teachers. We also have several new families joining our MLC School community. A special welcome to you!
I look forward to connecting with you throughout the term. This 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.
School Times
Morning Drop Off
Girls need to be at school before 8.15am (Year 6), 8.30am (Kindergarten to Year 5) and 9.am (Pre-Kindergarten). Thank you for ensuring your daughter is at school on time.

NAIDOC Week 2026
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. All students from Pre-K to Year 12 attended our School NAIDOC ceremony on Friday. Our thanks to Tim Lennon, our Director of Indigenous Education, and all involved in this special event.
NAPLAN and Parent-Teacher Learning Conversations
NAPLAN results for Year 3, Year 5, Year 7 and Year 9 will be sent home next week. If you would like to discuss these results with your daughter’s grade teacher, please use your upcoming Semester 2 Parent-Teacher Learning Conversation.
Wedding News
During the school holidays, Kindergarten teacher Bernadette Mackintosh (nee Weston) was married. To make it an extra special day, many of her students attended. Some of the Kindergarten students were wondering why our Deputy Head of Junior School, Sonia Weston, was also there!
We wish Bernie and her husband every happiness together in the many years to come.
