Head of Junior School

Welcome back and a special welcome to the new families that have joined our MLC School community. I trust you received my Welcome to Term 4 email. Thank you for having your daughter looking her best in her full school summer uniform, including her School hat. As I welcomed the girls arriving at the Junior School red carpet and the Year 6 Centre, I was greeted with smiles and delight to be back a school. Impressively, all girls arrived on time. Well done parents! You can read my welcome to term letter here.

At our Kindergarten to Year 5 assembly this week, our Junior School Captain introduced this term’s School value – Growth. We look forward to a strong term of growth in all subjects and aspects of learning.  

Stay and Play 

On the last day of Term 3, the Junior School was in ‘full swing’ with our annual Stay and Play. This event is initiated by the Junior School Student Council (JSSC). It raises funds that support student life at the School. Funds go towards the Junior School such as sports equipment and play equipment. Thank you to everyone who supported this event.

Great Success at RoboCup 

During the school holidays, MLC School had a Junior and Senior School team compete at the Australian Nationals competition in Canberra. Both teams were extremely successful. Congratulations to our Year 6 students Victoria Cassar, Hannah Girgis, Remy Pereira and Olivia Smith for coming third (across Australia) in the Novice OnStage Division. 

This is a reminder why girl’s school exist today. I firmly believe that it is highly unlikely in a co-educational context that these girls would have had the same opportunities to achieve this success within this field of STEM. Our thanks to Marie Cassar and Bede Schofield for their passion, commitment and generosity of their personal time. You can read more about this fantastic achievement in this newsletter. 

Intensive Swimming Program

A reminder to our Kindergarten to Year 2 families that our intensive swimming program commences next week.  

Wishing our Year 12 girls the very best in their HSC and IB exams.
