Thank you from the bottom of our ❤
Our inaugural ❤mlcschool Giving Day, held Tuesday 18 May was a signal of unity and strength across the School community.
In terms of the amount of money we raised – at last count it was over $213,000 – this phenomenal sum will impact the lives of many young women in the most tangible way, by providing them with an MLC School education. However, the true spirit of our students, staff, parents and Old Girls who so willingly showed their love for the School and their ambition to ensure more girls have the chance to come here is, in many respects, the bigger story.
- Over 450 individuals/families donated.
- 25 parents and Old Girls volunteered for the operations room to call throughout the day.
- Every student assisted with the promotion of the day, they took photos to show their love for the School, made videos, set challenges and devised fundraising activities for the week.
- Our staff supported by donating, making calls and participating with great energy and enthusiasm.
The message of sharing the love for MLC School was fully embraced with such genuine affection, as the dedications from some of our donors showed (please see the details in the Principal’s article).
My very great thanks to the Marketing and Community Relations team; Heleen Fourie for leading this initiative; and to every single member of the incredible MLC School community, from our youngest to our oldest, for making this day possible.
Please take the time to watch this video from our Chair of MLC School Council, Dr Eve Tsironis.
