From the Head of Junior School

Thank you for your generosity for our ❤mlcschool Giving Day, hosted on Tuesday. It was a great success. Our School is now able to further plan for and action our belief about inclusivity by providing an MLC School education for young women who otherwise would not have the opportunity to attend our wonderful school.

MLC School hosted the first onsite tour day this week since the outbreak of Covid-19. We are the school of choice for so many families, many who have been recommended by our current families. Thank you for sharing what an MLC School education has to offer to other prospective parents.

Our Junior School assembly was hosted by Mooramoora. The girls launched Kindness Day which fits so well with our School value of Compassion, our focus for this term. More information about Kindness Day will be forthcoming.

This week is officially Teacher Appreciate Week. I have always held the strong belief that our teachers, including all staff that contribute to your daughter’s education, are by far the most valued asset within our school. I have the privilege to witness the commitment they give to each girl and the different that makes, now and the years to come.

I have not always worked in education, I have taken leave from teaching to work in the corporate sector. It was a pivotal time during my career. My conditions, salary, and even perceived status from some of my peers, increased. However, my love for learning and teaching, working alongside passionate and dedicated educators and the joy of supporting and educating young people soon drew me back to where I belong. This commitment is shared across the talented and dedicated teaching staff at MLC School. I am inspired each day by my colleagues and take this opportunity to acknowledge all that they do. My thanks to the parents who have sent lovely messages (and food) for Teacher Appreciation Week. On behalf of all the educators and support staff, it is very much appreciated. Thank you.
