Hearts for Hearts and International Women’s Day

Last week saw the inaugural MLC School Hearts for Hearts charity drive raising money for Heart Kids Australia. Heart Kids Australia is a fabulous charity which works with children with congenital heart diseases and their families providing support, care and information. Spreading love and happiness MLC School celebrated Valentine’s Day with cheer and a sense of joy. Each morning saw smiles as students came pouring in the gates as everyone enjoyed settling into Term 1 and the infusion of chocolate onto campus. Over five days we sold nearly 500 chocolates, and put together our positivity mural. The mural now on display in the Senior Centre is composed of hundreds of notes written by staff, students and even a few parents. The notes were messages of support, care, Taylor Swift song lyrics, positivity and fun. A sense of fun and happiness is infectious and that was seen across the School as everyone got involved with leaving a message for a friend, themselves or for the community as a whole. We’d like to thank everyone for their enthusiasm and in the wise words of one of our favourite notes pinned to the board ‘You are all amazing, unique and special. Have fun every day and don’t let anything get in your way!’. 

 A brief reminder that the International Women’s Day Breakfast is on Wednesday 8 March 2023 at 7am. The morning will consist of a panel of MLC School Captains, Newington Prefects and a guest speaker around the 2023 theme of Embracing Equity, our community’s progress on achieving gender equity and what still needs to be done. A light breakfast will be available and the event is open to all students and parents. Please RSVP here. We can’t wait to see you all there!
