Junior School ‘Stay & Play’ Information
Friday 19 September 2025
Each year, on the last day of Term 3, the Junior School Student Council (JSSC) hosts Stay & Play, an event run by the students, for the students! Year 3 to Year 5 host stalls selling a variety of food, goods and fun activities to raise money to go towards purchasing equipment and resources for the students. This year we have already purchased wet weather games/activity boxes for each class and play/sport equipment for lunchtimes.
Who attends Stay & Play?
-
Pre Kindergarten students are welcome to attend but MUST be accompanied by a parent or carer. If your daughter is at school on Friday 19 September 2025, please come to Reception at 1.30pm to collect your daughter.

Parents and carers of students in Kindergarten to Year 5 are most welcome to attend, please enter via the Red Carpet. You may take your daughter home early after seeing your daughter’s class teacher.
What can the girls purchase at Stay & Play?
There will be a variety of food and goods to purchase and activities to join.
What is the cost?
Most items and activities are between $2 and $8. This year cards with 10 x squares, with a square worth $1, will be used and must be pre-purchased – cash will not be accepted at the stalls. This is more environmentally friendly.
What should my daughter wear?
So the girls can be comfortable while enjoying the activities during Stay & Play, students are permitted to wear their MLC School sports uniform.
When is Stay & Play?
Friday 19 September 2025 – 1.30pm to 2.50pm. School will conclude at the normal finish time.
Where is Stay & Play?
Stay & Play will take place at various locations around the Junior School Campus.
How much money will my daughter need?
It is recommended that your daughter purchases cards worth $30 – $50 (that is three to five cards). When purchasing something at Stay & Play the girls will have their card stamped – the number of squares equal to the cost.
How may my daughter pay for items or activities?
-
The cards can be pre-purchased through the MLC School payment pages with each card worth $10. You can buy up to five cards or $50. See the button below to purchase cards.
-
The cards will be provided to your daughter at the commencement of Stay & Play.
-
Additional cards can be purchased on the day (cash and EFTPOS accepted) from the Red Carpet.
-
Please note: All money raised through Stay & Play will be donated, so refunds for unused tokens will not be given at the end of the event.
Toy Drive for Stay & Play
Spring is the perfect time for some Spring Cleaning! As you tidy up, if you come across any unused, undamaged, and clean toys, please consider bringing them to your daughter’s class. These toys will be collected as part of the toy drive for Stay & Play, scheduled for the last day of Term 3. We will be collecting toys during Week 8 (Monday 8 September 2025).

We look forward to concluding Term 3 with an enjoyable Stay & Play event.
