Year 9
On Friday 31 October 2025, some Year 9 students travelled to Ashfield to volunteer at the Exodus Foundation Loaves and Fishes Free Restaurant. Their reflections from the day are included below:
‘Working at Loaves and Fishes was one of the most fun and meaningful experiences I’ve ever had. I have done charity work previously in foreign countries like Laos, Vietnam, and Thailand in different orphanages to help children have a better lifestyle, giving them food, school supplies, and toys. Although helping overseas, Loaves and Fishes had really stood out to me. Helping pack Christmas hampers for the needy, really changed my perspective on how appreciative I am for the other volunteers who work there every day. The hard work that the volunteers do every day honestly just blows my mind on how they are so dedicated to helping the needy and everyone working together to make a difference, and I loved every moment of it.
‘The most exciting part of my experience was meeting Bill Crews, the founder of Loaves and Fishes. He was a kind and generous man who created this foundation to help people in need. I noticed that Loaves and Fishes isn’t a place just for food, but it is also a place for people to feel safe and respected. I feel very honoured to be a part of something he built, and I will never forget this experience.’
– Stella Inthavong (Year 9)
‘I was fortunate enough to participate in a volunteering experience at the Loaves and Fishes Exodus Foundation, where we helped assemble Christmas care hampers for people in need. The day was filled with teamwork and purpose as we worked together in an assembly line, with each person adding a different item such as pies or lolly bags, into the hamper. Throughout the experience, I was reminded of how fortunate we are and how meaningful it is to give back to others, especially during a time of year that can be challenging for many people. Seeing everyone come together with so much positivity and care made me appreciate the MLC community and collective effort we all put in. I left feeling inspired and grateful, knowing that our contributions, although small to us, could help bring a sense of joy and comfort to others this holiday season.’
– Sabine Rezainia (Year 9)

Middle Years Production
Tickets are now on sale for the 2025 Middle Years Drama Production – Trackers by Donna Hughes. The cast of Year 7 to Year 9 students have worked incredibly hard to bring this compelling story to the stage. The show runs over two nights and promises heartfelt performances and storytelling that will leave a lasting impression.
Set in a dystopian future, Trackers follows a group of students who begin to question the rules, the surveillance, and the system that controls them. It’s bold, mysterious, and packed with twists. Think secret messages, hidden alliances, and a fight to break free from conformity… all happening right under the school’s watchful eye.
Dates: Wednesday 12 November 2025 to Thursday 13 November 2025
