From the Head of Junior School
One of the many strengths is the strong partnership between home and school. It was lovely to see so many parents attend our Year 3 to Year 6 Information Night. Thank you for taking the time to visit and hear about the exciting opportunities the girls are engaged in this year.
We have had an extremely positive response to parents registering for our URSTRONG Language of Friendship Workshop, commencing at 6pm on Tuesday 25 February 2020. URSTRONG is part of our Junior School pastoral care program. Language of Friendship Workshop assists teachers and parents to work together to teach, upskill and support your daughter in the important and sometimes challenging area of friendship. If you have not registered, please do so. With your help, working together, we can achieve even great outcomes for your daughter in the increasingly important area of friendship.
During the Christmas school holidays, our Language teacher, Ms Sherry Chen, was successful attaining a secondary teaching position at Kambala School. Ms Chen has been seeking to extend her professional skills working in the secondary school sector. This appointment is a great credit to Ms Chen and she will be greatly missed here at MLC School. Ms Chin commences her position next week. However, we are fortunately to be able to have Ms Chen continue to be with us on Mondays for the remainder of Term 1. A newly appointed Language (Mandarin) Junior School teacher will be announced shortly.
It has been a delight to visit the all studios this week. 2020 is off to a great start at MLC Junior School, with the girls so focused and engaged in their learning. Some activities are shared with via our Seesaw app. This tool gives you a wonderful insight to discuss your daughter’s day at school when at home.
