From the Principal

Term 3 has certainly finished on a high, with the thought provoking yet humorous Year 11 Drama production of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead; the remarkable performances that made up the Annual Dance Showcase Once Upon a Time held at NIDA last weekend; the Year 6 Learning Showcase; the Pre-Kindergarten Celebration Of Learning and of course, our farewells to the class of 2025. Throughout the week the School community took turns in expressing their best wishes to the graduating class, with events such as the Old Girls Union Chocolate Recess, House Lunches, final Chapel Service, final Devotional Service, final School Assembly, Valedictory Assembly and last night’s Valedictory Dinner marking this very special time in their lives.

At the final Year 12 Assembly, our 2025 School Captain Marirose Giann spoke beautifully about how perceptions of time change as you move through school and how now, as the graduating students look back, each of those moments suddenly seem to have passed so quickly. Suddenly they are on the precipice of graduation and all that lies ahead.

Many families chose to mark their daughter’s time at MLC School with a commemorative paver. These pavers are located at the main entrance to the School and are regularly visited and viewed by past and prospective families and stand as a record of each girl’s part in MLC School’s rich history. I encourage you to take a look next time you visit that part of the School, together the pavers paint the story of the rich history of the School and the many generations of students who have passed through the School gates.

Our School Captain Marirose Giann, and Vice Captains Lefki Papadopoulos and Evie Papamanuel, along with the team of Portfolio Captains and Prefects have not only led with vision, commitment and joy but have been wonderful role models for our younger students and contributed across all areas of school life. The 2025 Student Leadership team set themselves the goal of building School and House Spirit and they have been remarkably successful in doing so.

We wish our graduating class all the very best for the future and know that their time at MLC School has equipped them with knowledge, skills, friendships, and experiences that will enable them to navigate whatever lies ahead.

I extend my best wishes to all students and families for the coming term break and remind our Year 12 students that the School will be open for study camp so that you can utilise staff expertise and take the time to complete papers under examination conditions or study with friends. Thank you to all staff who have offered their time to assist our students and to those who are leading school groups to the Round Square International Conference in Dubai and the European Music tour.

I look forward to seeing everyone back, refreshed, and ready to take on the challenges of Term 4 on Tuesday October 14.
