World Teacher’s Day 

Today we officially celebrate World Teacher’s Day. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our staff across the School who support our Junior School students. I also wish to thank our P&F for providing extra treats at morning tea. The appreciation we receive from our parent community is the greatest gift we could receive on World Teacher’s Day. 

Kindergarten to Year 2 Splash Day 

Thank you to all the parents who joined us for a fun afternoon in the pool at our Kindergarten to Year 2 Splash Day today. Professional photos will be available next week on our socials and in Audacia.

Year 3 Outdoor Adventure 

This week, Year 3 experienced their first sleepover outdoor adventure camp at Stanwell Tops. The girls enjoyed a range of activities, including bushwalking, wall climbing, the giant swing, climbing tower, and more. Both students and teachers had a wonderful time, and I have no doubt the girls will sleep well tonight!

Year 6 Outdoor Adventure 

Year 6 also ventured to the South Coast this week for their ‘Making Waves’ adventure camp at Gerringong. Our Principal, Lisa Moloney, visited Year 6 on Wednesday, and I had the opportunity to join both year groups on camp on Thursday. The girls enjoyed beach volleyball, learning to surf, and many other fun activities away from home.

The Important of Sport in the Junior School

This term, the Junior School has a record number of students participating in Saturday sport. It is timely to have read an article in the Sydney Morning Herald this week on the value of sport for learning. You can read the article using this link.

At MLC School, we believe education is about nurturing the whole girl – mind, body, and character. Recent research reinforces what we know: participation in sport doesn’t just build physical fitness; it strengthens focus, resilience, and social skills that translate directly into better learning outcomes. 

Engaging in regular physical activity helps children develop habits of discipline and teamwork, while also improving cognitive function. Experts suggest that starting early – in the primary years – is ideal for building confidence and fostering a lifelong love of movement. 

Participation in sport also has a positive impact on cognition. The SMH reports that studies show children who participate in regular sport are up to 40% more likely to achieve higher academic results compared to their less active peers. Physical activity boosts concentration, memory, and problem-solving skills – all essential for success in the classroom. 

Our Junior School sport program is designed with this in mind. Through structured sports sessions and active play, we aim to create an environment where every child feels encouraged to participate, learn, and grow. Whether it’s on the field, in the pool, or during PE lessons, these experiences teach collaboration, perseverance, and the joy of achievement. 

As we look ahead to the opening of co-curricular enrolments for 2026, we remain committed to balancing academic excellence with opportunities for physical development. I am excited about next year’s sports program under the new leadership of Scott Carpenter, Director of Sport 2026, as part of an extended 2026 co-curricular program led by Sarah Jauncey, Director of Experiential Learning. Remember, a healthy body supports a healthy mind, and that’s the foundation for success in school and beyond. 

Parent Tips: Encouraging Active Habits at Home 

• Make it fun: Choose activities your child enjoys – whether it’s riding a bike, dancing, or kicking a ball in the park. 
• Lead by example: Children are more likely to be active if they see you being active too. 
• Set small goals: Aim for at least 60 minutes of movement a day, broken into short bursts if needed. 
• Limit screen time: Encourage outdoor play instead of extra time on devices. 
• Celebrate effort, not just results: Praise participation and persistence to build confidence.

A Message for Year 2 Parents and Carers – From the Deputy Head of Junior School – Operations

Message for Year 2 Parents and Carers

As part of our ongoing commitment to improving the learning opportunities for students, MLC School engages Academic Assessment Services to conduct a series of diagnostic assessment tasks as students progress through their schooling. This type of assessment occurs when students are in Year 2, Year 4, Year 6, Year 8 and Year 10.

Students who are currently in Year 2 will complete some of these assessments on Tuesday 4 November 2025. The assessments are designed for Year 2 students and are of suitable duration (approximately one hour in total).  

The assessments will measure ability in Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning, and you will receive a report detailing your daughter’s results later this year. From Year 4, performance in these tests also measures learning growth over a two-year period, providing information about how your daughter is progressing and informing how we can best support her into the future.

The results, together with other assessment data, are a useful resource for us in identifying and targeting individual learning needs, including those of high potential students.

Please note that there is no additional cost to you for this assessment service.

Your daughter should not be concerned or anxious about this testing. It does not require any preparation or study, and students are not required to bring anything with them that they don’t usually bring to school. The best way to support your daughter is to ensure that she arrives on time, relaxed and refreshed after a good night’s sleep.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Parent Information Evening: This Week’s Highlights

Last Tuesday evening, we hosted our New Parent Information Evening for families joining the Senior School in Year 8 to Year 11. The event was a great opportunity for our new parents to connect with key staff, gain insights into our academic and wellbeing programs, and feel warmly welcomed into our School community. Our current Year 6 parents were welcomed into the Senior Centre as part of our transition program as their daughters integrate into the Senior School.

The families heard from Al Roland, Head of Students – Year 7 to Year 9, Fiona Pow, Head of Students – Year 10 to Year 12, Emily Marsh, Head of Year 7 2026. Danielle Rodrigues, Acting Deputy Head of Senior School – Academic Year 10 to Year 12, David Posker-Hill, Acting Deputy Head of Senior School – Academic Year 7 to Year 9 and Marianna Carlino, Director of eLearning, presented about our academic program and Sarah Jauncey, our Director of Experiential Learning, introduced the co-curricular program. A reminder to all, that you are welcome to attend the Co-curricular Expo on Friday 21 November 2025 to consider enrolments for 2026.

During the session on Wellbeing, Emily canvassed the Circle Solutions program that is a tool that is used in our Luminary sessions as part of our Pastoral care program. The Circle Solutions program plays a vital role in fostering a sense of belonging and emotional wellbeing among students. These sessions provide a safe and supportive environment where pupils can share their thoughts and listen to the experiences of others, building strong connections across year groups. Circle Solutions is based on the ASPIRE principles:

• Agency: Participants are given structured opportunities to take decisions on things that concern them and responsibility for making things happen. Students themselves build a positive emotional climate for learning
• Safety: No-one has to say anything if they do not feel confident or ready to do so. Safety is also enhanced by discussing issues not incidents and by using the third person. Activities are in pairs, groups or the whole Circle
• Positivity: The focus is on strengths and solutions – what we want, rather than what we want to get rid of. Circles actively promote positive feelings, including laughter. This enhances emotional resources and connectedness
• Inclusion: There is an expectation that everyone will work with everyone else. No one is left out and all are encouraged (without pressure) to join in. Every person is important to the group
• Respect: Participants listen to each other and do not take up more than a fair share of attention. There are only personal positives and no put downs.
• Equity: Everyone has an equal voice, no one person can dominate. Faciliators participate in all activities.

Emily shared some quotes from our current Year 7 students about Luminary time:

‘I enjoyed connecting with other people during Luminary and getting to play fun and engaging games during circle activities.’

‘I liked the opportunities in Luminary to listen to other people’s stories and experiences.’

‘I liked playing the circle games as they helped me to feel connected to everyone in my Luminary.’

‘I enjoyed the circle reflection activities because they gave me a chance to share my thoughts, listen to others, and they helped me feel more connected with my classmates.’

Head of Year 10 in 2026

I am pleased to announce that Sharon Connolly will be taking on the role of Head of Year 10 in 2026.

Sharon is a highly experienced Head of Year, known for her student-centred approach and her commitment to fostering strong, supportive relationships with both students and their families. Her dedication to student wellbeing and academic growth has benefitted her previous cohorts. She is guiding the current Year 12 students through their final weeks of exams, having also started with them in Year 10.

Sharon enjoys working closely with parents to ensure each student is supported throughout their school journey. She has already started the process of a hand over with Emily Marsh, who has guided the cohort through the last year. I will be working closely with both Sharon and Emily to ensure that there is continuous support for students as they transition into Year 10.

There will be an opportunity for parents to meet Sharon during 2026 at various events. You can email her at sconnolly1@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au.

Year 7

Week 3 has been a week of celebrating and sharing in Year 7. In our Year Meeting I had the honour of presenting a huge number of awards for students participating in the Maths Olympiad. The sheer number was incredible, with students placing in the top 25%, the top 10% and the incredible Sissi Zheng receiving an award and medallion for achieving a Perfect Score.

Our new SRC representatives were also announced to much applause. Congratulations to SRC Year 8 2026 – Ashwini Kanesalingam , Olivia Eddy and Isobel Dean (pictured below). Well done to these students, I know they will represent Year 8 with pride.

Year 7 also got to spend some time with Year 11 Big Sisters today, as I walked around the Luminary groups I could see all the students engaged in a fun Halloween game, working side by side.

Have a wonderful weekend and please reach out to your daughters Luminary or teachers if you have any questions.

– Claire White
Head of Year 7

Year 8

This week, Year 8 students participated in their Chapel Service, held in the School Chapel. Whilst we have weekly Chapel services, these services, which occur once or twice each term inside the chapel itself, provide students with a personalised and meaningful experience. Each Luminary is given the opportunity to lead the service and undertake the readings. On this occasion, it was Lester’s turn to lead, and they delivered an exemplary service that was meticulously planned. All participants spoke with confidence and clarity, contributing to a memorable event.

During Wednesday’s Year meeting, Year 8 students were informed about their elective choices for Year 9. This marks a significant milestone in their academic journey, as it is the first time they can exercise agency and make choices regarding the subjects they wish to pursue. This opportunity empowers students to take greater ownership of their learning and future pathways.

Our volunteers for Inner West Neighbourhood Aid completed their monthly visit this week, engaging in a range of enjoyable activities with community members. This month’s reflection was written by Freya Gray, who shared insights into the experience and the value of connecting with new members of the community.

‘This month’s visit for Neighbourhood Aid, I particularly enjoyed meeting new community members. They were all great fun to talk to. We learned about their lives, bringing new perspectives into our own. We did origami, learning to make balloons and paper hats! There was a hotly contested paper airplane competition! I didn’t win this competition, but my cat was grateful for the new origami balloon to play with! It was an awesome opportunity to have, and I know we’re all looking forward to the next visit!’

Acting Head of Year 8

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) 

Student Representative Council 2026

Congratulations to Nikhita Kumar, Matilda Shipard and Sabine Rezainia, who have been elected at the Year 10 2026 representative for the Student Representative Council (SRC) for 2026. The SRC provides an opportunity for all students to contribute to MLC School. At SRC meetings, representatives discuss changes and improvements they would like to make to the school environment and work together to make these changes happen.

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.

Year 10

In Luminary this week, Year 10 students took part in a reflective and meaningful activity by writing a letter to their future selves. They will open this letter in 12 months’ time, during the Year 11 Retreat, to mark the beginning of their final year at MLC School.

In their letter they were asked to think deeply about where they are now and where they hope to be in a year’s time. This reflective exercise ties into the theme of their upcoming Immersion Program, “Dear Future Self”, encouraging them to think about their growth, values, and aspirations as they prepare for their final two years of school. It will be something very special for them to revisit and see how far they’ve come.

In our Year Meeting, I also spoke with Year 10 about the MLC School Code of Conduct for Off-Campus Experiences. They will be required to read and accept the Code of Conduct which will be sent via email.

One of the significant challenges for many students will be spending the week away without access to any devices. Whilst we recognise how integral these are to their daily lives; this is a deliberate and important element of the camp. Being “unplugged” gives students the rare chance to disconnect from technology, reconnect with each other, and be fully present in their surroundings.

Research continues to show that time away from devices can reduce stress, improve focus, and foster stronger face-to-face relationships which are all invaluable outcomes as they prepare for the Senior Years. We appreciate your support in ensuring all devices remain at home so your daughter can fully benefit from this experience.

Just a reminder all the information regarding the Immersion Program is available via Omnia. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me, Sarah Jauncey, Director of Experiential Learning or Jo Cilia, Head of Futures and Pathways, VET Coordinator.

Head of Year 10

Year 11

Luminary
This week’s Luminary session explored the importance of open communication and supporting peers, especially as students face the unique challenges of both the HSC and IB pathways. We encouraged students to share their experiences and listen with empathy, helping to build a culture where everyone feels understood and valued. These skills are particularly important as our Year 11 students transition into Year 12, a time that can bring both excitement and pressure. We invite you to discuss these themes at home, reinforcing the value of supporting one another through both challenges and achievements.

Our new Luminary Representatives to lead their Luminary groups for Term 4 are, Erin Barrett, Inez Murray, Phoebe Chee, Tanishi Agrawal, Ava Roins, Krystal Karahonzitis, Mia Tsakos, Kiara Elghitany, Jaslina Duong, Emily Demetrios, Tiffany Lai, Emily Leung, Hailey Leung, Kimberly Chou, Sanjana Iyengar, Katie See, Amelia Tchan and Milla Zhang.

The second Luminary session was dedicated to our Big Sister Little Sister program, which continues to be a highlight for both Year 12 and Year 7 students. Reports from Claire White, Head of Year 7, indicate that the younger students absolutely cherish these moments, with many expressing a wish to see their Big Sisters even more frequently. Our Year 12 2026 cohort are doing an outstanding job of nurturing these relationships, helping Year 7 students feel a strong sense of belonging and connection within our school community. We are grateful for the leadership and kindness shown by our senior students.

Change of Subject
This week, Danielle Rodrigues, Acting Deputy Head of School – Academic (Year 10 to Year 12), presented at our Year meeting to clarify the process for making changes to Year 12 subjects. Many families may have noticed Green (for HSC) or Pink forms (for IB) coming home as students consider their options. Please note that it is not MLC School policy for HSC students to reduce their study load to 10 units so early in the Year 12 academic year. Any subject changes are carefully considered to ensure students remain on track for their chosen pathway, and we appreciate your support in following the correct procedures.

Unexplained Absences
Unexplained absences present significant challenges for the School, particularly regarding our duty of care and students’ academic progress. It is essential that all absences are reported through Omnia, so we can account for every student’s wellbeing. Missing valuable class time can have a direct impact on Year 12 students’ academic progress and results. Students will receive an accountability point for any unexplained absences in the first instance and an afternoon detention if the absence remains unexplained. We appreciate your support in reinforcing the importance of attendance at home and encourage open conversations with your child about their daily engagement and commitment to learning.

Driving and Riding to School
We celebrate any students who obtained their driver’s licence in the holidays. Please complete a Driving to School form from Omnia. Students can also collect one from me. It is important that the students are aware of the conditions in driving to school. Students must not move cars in the middle of the day, and suitable parking spaces is the responsibly of the student. Students off site during the school day is in opposition to the Senior Pass. We frequently remind our senior students that this is the beginning of adult responsibilities, and they need to be finding their own solutions for the privilege of driving to school. It is equally important that parents and the School are aware of students providing lifts to peers and often younger students.

Prefect Announcement
Prefect interviews came to a close this week with the final announcement at the Senior School Assembly today. This has been a good experience for this round of leaders to interview and reflect on leadership and their influence on those around them. We rely on them to be the culture keepers and embellish the MLC School Values of Respect, Growth, Courage and Compassion, and good old MLC School Joy.

Leadership Induction Year 12 2026
An exciting time in the Term 4 calendar is the leadership induction of our entire Year 12 cohort. This occurs in a week’s time on Friday 7 November 2025. I am looking forward to celebrating this significant milestone with as many of you as possible. I am extremely proud of this year group, they are an absolutely joy to work with and they really are the gift that keeps on giving. Please join us in celebrating their theme of “Spirit Strong 26 On” which really describes the essence of the cohort.

From the Learning Enhancement Department: Term 4 Consultation and Collaboration Meetings 
The Learning Enhancement Department is pleased to announce the availability of optional Term 4 Consultation and Collaboration meetings. These sessions are designed to support the planning process for your daughter’s transition to her new grade in 2026 and will be conducted online via Teams. This is an opportunity to discuss learning goals and review reasonable adjustments to support students.  

For some students, adjustments may include Disability Provisions, (upon application). Please be aware that any 2025 Year 11 student planning to apply for Disability Provisions in Year 12 is highly encouraged to have a parent or carer attend these collaborative planning meetings.  

If you did not receive an invitation to discuss your daughter’s engagement with the Learning Enhancement Department for 2026 but wish to have a conversation, please email led@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au

IB Theatre in London

During the recent holidays, I had the privilege of attending an advanced IB Theatre course in London. The program brought together participants from the Netherlands, South Korea, the UK, Germany, and myself, creating a truly international learning environment.

This three-day intensive focused on applying the techniques of renowned Theatre practitioners to a solo performance piece, which is a formal assessment task for IB Theatre students in Year 12. It was an invaluable opportunity to deepen my understanding and exchange ideas with other passionate IB Theatre educators.

I’m excited to bring this new knowledge into the classroom as our girls begin working on their Solo assessment this term. A heartfelt thank you to MLC School for supporting the enrichment of IB Theatre and making it possible for me to access such a fantastic professional learning experience.

From the Principal

As we look back on MLC School’s (almost) 140 years of excellence in girls’ education, we are taking the opportunity to reflect on why having an empowering learning environment is as critical today as it was in 1886.

Our new ‘Dare To be More’ podcast series launched this week and in the first episode I took the opportunity to share some important insights about our School’s mission, values, and the unique environment that fosters growth and empowerment for our girls.

The podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, and all major podcast platforms. Simply search for ‘MLC School Dare to Be More’.  

From the moment that I first walked through the gates of MLC School, I was struck by a strong sense of self that our students develop during their time here. I noted that there is something about the way that an MLC School student holds herself, the confidence with which she speaks and her absolute belief that she can achieve anything that she puts her mind and efforts to. This belief in the potential of our girls is a cornerstone of our educational philosophy and one that has stood the test of time over our 140 years. At last week’s Sapphire lunch for those who graduated more than 51 years ago, I saw these same qualities in our oldest graduates.

I would love to say that the need for single sex education for girls had diminished over the years. But with the rise of anti-feminist influencers; AI tools designed to degrade and misrepresent women; and the removal of women’s rights as part of the political agenda in some countries; the need for girls to develop a strong sense of self before having to confront these realities is as important as ever. As one Old Girl said, ‘By the time I got into the workforce and people tried to tell me I couldn’t do something because of my gender it was too late, because I already knew that I could.’

In an article published in the Sydney Morning Herald this week, it was noted that the number of girls studying Economics at the HSC had fallen significantly in recent years. University of Cambridge law student Lucy Koder, who topped HSC Economics in 2021, said that while many students at her former girls private school studied Economics, she worries that perceptions about difficulty or tall poppy syndrome in co-educational schools might lead girls, who would excel in the course, to turn away from it. This observation reflects research commissioned and reported by the International Coalition of Girls Schools, which shows that girls’ school graduates are six times more likely to consider majoring in mathematics, science, and technology compared to girls who attended co-educational schools; and reports that research studies conducted around the world – Australia, Caribbean, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and United States – find that girls’ schools foster increased confidence and interest in mathematics.

Of course, attending a girls’ school is only part of the puzzle, it essential that we continue to encourage and support our students to take risks in their learning. The concept of ‘Dare To Be More’ is more than just a tagline. It’s about challenging ourselves as learners and as people, stepping a little bit outside our comfort zone every day. This approach encourages our students to be resilient and to embrace challenges as opportunities for growth. Watching our Year 6 girls at camp this week, I was struck by their willingness to try new things; persevere as they learned to surf; and support for each other as they each tried something new. It is only through trying new things, even when they are hard, that we learn and I was thrilled to see this in action.

We need to continue to promote the importance of girls’ schools and the importance of raising young women who know that they can in an environment where they are valued for who they are and what they can do, as well as their academic efforts.

As we look ahead, we remain dedicated to our mission and values, ensuring that our students are prepared to lead and make a positive impact in the world. We are proud of our legacy and excited for the future, knowing that our students will continue to embody the spirit of daring to be more.

2025 MLC School Dance Showcase – Videos Now Available

We are excited to share the footage from our 2025 Dance Showcase, titled Once Upon a Time, which took place on Saturday 13 September and Sunday 14 September 2025, at the NIDA Parade Theatre. This year’s showcase invited audiences into a world of imagination and movement, inspired by the powerful messages found in children’s literature. Through dance, our students explored how stories shape character and identity, unlocking the deeper narratives hidden within the pages of a storybook. Their personal insights and creative interpretations added layers of authenticity and emotional depth to each performance.

We hope you enjoyed an evening that celebrated the transformative power of storytelling and showcased the incredible talent of our dancers. Once Upon a Time was more than a performance. It was a celebration of creativity, connection, and the joy of movement.

We invite you to enjoy the showcase footage and celebrate the remarkable achievements of our dancers.

Languages Programming Days – Mapping backwards from blue sky thinking

The Languages Department was privileged to engage in two dedicated professional learning days, during which we collaboratively developed a comprehensive MLC School Languages Skills and Grammar Continuum. This foundational work enabled us to design a robust scope and sequence for Stages 4, 5, and 6, ensuring alignment with curriculum outcomes and progressive skill development across year levels. Throughout the two days, we actively shared and demonstrated practical classroom strategies, fostering a culture of peer learning and professional growth. The sessions were highly productive and deeply collegial, strengthening our collective efficacy and reaffirming our shared commitment to excellence in language education.

Launch of MLC School Horizons Program – Year 7 to Year 8
This term, Year 7 and Year 8 students have embarked on the inaugural Horizons Program at MLC School, a High Potential program that embraces the challenge of ‘Dare To Be More.’ Inspired by university-style learning, participants have engaged in a rigorous academic exploration of Psychology through weekly deep dives into complex readings and Socratic dialogues.

Guided by a Princeton University textbook, students have examined foundational psychological theories and landmark experiments, including Classical and Operant Conditioning, Milgram’s obedience study, Asch’s conformity experiment, and Bandura’s iconic Bobo Doll study. Through these investigations, students are grappling with the profound tension between psychological insight and ethical responsibility.

By the end of the term, Horizons students will have critically explored the twentieth century’s most influential psychological theories and experiments – laying the groundwork for a lifelong curiosity about the human mind.

Thank you to our High Potential Learning Leader, James Adams, for your leadership of this program! 

Thank you Parents

Extending sincere appreciation to our parent community for their active participation in Term 4 Consultation and Collaboration conversations for students who require academic support and learning adjustments. Gaining insight into student strengths and challenges is essential for effective planning as the transition to a new grade begins. I commend the expertise and dedication of our Learning Enhancement Teachers, who have welcomed the opportunity to foster closer collaboration with our parent community.

Gymnastics

Last week on Thursday and Friday, MLC School was tumbling and throwing into action! The MLC School gymnastics team competed at the IGSA and IPSHA Carnivals. Many of the girls were competing for the first time and they did an amazing job. The MLC School team has also been known to have the best cheer squad, and we proved it once again.

Our IGSA team is made up of high school gymnasts, from Years 7 to 12, and we had entries across a range of levels, from Level 3 all the way to Level 9. Our Level 9 gymnast, Misha Behi (Year 12), impressively managed to train and compete while also completing her HSC. We also had a range of rhythmic gymnasts competing from Levels 4 to Level 9. As a school our young team placed 4th overall!

The three of us also had the opportunity to attend IPSHA to support and assist our younger teammates. They competed across Levels 1 to 6 in both individual and team events and showed just as much energy and team spirit, cheering on their teammates the whole day.

Before the competitions started, both groups had a team bonding session where we made supporter signs, making us the most spirited school in the stands! It was great to see everyone come together whether it was to compete, cheer, or just support each other.

Play of the week

Each week, we celebrate an MLC School team or player who exemplifies our core values: respect, courage, compassion, or growth, whether on the field, at training, or during competition.

Congratulations to our Play of the Week recipients: Year 10 students Niamh Johnson, Hannah North, and Sophia Hu. These three outstanding girls not only represented MLC School at the IGSA Gymnastics competition alongside Senior School students on Thursday, but also attended the IPSHA carnival where they went above and beyond. They supported coaches, helped students warm up, and took on roles as official photographers, hairdressers, and glitter applicators. Their dedication and enthusiasm truly embodied the MLC School spirit!

Around the grounds

Water Polo

MLC03 has had a huge comeback the past two games. Our first game against St Catherines was tough we lost 15-3. But our second game was a blast. We won 5-4 and some of us swallowed so much water. Zara was our goalkeeper for the 3^rd and 4^th quarter and smashed it. She blocked so many goals. As we welcome our new coach Bridget we hope to celebrate more wins.

– Eloise Woodhouse (Year 7) – MLC03

This weekend MLC03 waterpolo played a nail-biting game and celebrated our first win this weekend. It was tight the whole time ending with a close score 5–4! Everyone worked really hard, showing great teamwork and determination throughout the game. Even though it was a tight game, we kept encouraging each other. We are looking forward to playing again this weekend!

– Ashley Clapham (Year 7) – MLC03

On Saturday 25 October our IGSA Water Polo teams were working hard and smashing out both Round 1 and Round 2 of the competition. Although we have had a tough start in competition, MLC 01 had an impressive start to the season, defeating Frensham 18–6 in Round 1 with strong teamwork in the pool. MLC 03 also delivered a fantastic performance in Round 2, securing a solid win against SVC College. Each team has shown great start to the season with everyone continuing to show enthusiasm leading into the next rounds.

– Zoe Pollard (Year 7) – (MLC01)

The first two rounds of this season have been quite difficult, with some strong opponents – Danebank and St Catherines. We’ve had some tough games, but our team has stayed strong, working hard at games and training to improve and work better together. Despite the challenges we’ve faced, our team has strived to improve and grow stronger for our future games – while we’ve faced some losses, they have only brought us closer together and helped us grow as a team. Everyone is working hard and hopefully our next game will be a victory!

– Emily Van Der Westhuizen (Year 9) – (MLC02) 

Touch Football

MLC02 played a challenging game against TARA01, finishing with a 6–0 loss. Despite the result, the team showed strong determination, resilience and teamwork throughout the match. We had several really close attempts at tries and kept pushing hard until the final whistle. Our defence worked tirelessly, and our communication on the field is improving with every game. Even though we didn’t get the result we hoped for, we’re proud of how we played and are confident we’ll bounce back stronger next week.

– Ava Roins (Year 11) – (MLC02)

On Saturday, we faced Ascham School at Steyne Park, Double Bay, for our second touch football game of the season. The match was close from start to finish, with both teams scoring two tries each before halftime. Although we added another try in the second half, Ascham responded with two more, taking the win. Despite only have one spare player we stayed positive throughout the game and played as best as we could. We focused on having good communication during the game and constantly maintaining good teamwork. From the game we learnt where we went wrong and what we need to focus on during training as well as what we did well. While we didn’t get the result we wanted, it was a solid effort, and we hope we can get a good outcome next week.

– Zara Paterson (Year 9) – (MLC07)

On Saturday 25 October we had a close game and intense game with the score board being 5-4 with some unlikely calls, and great tries. All of us girls did amazing and although we lost, we all had so much fun!

– Ally Willoughby (Year 7) – (MLC10)

Rowing

On Saturday, 25 October, our rowing team proudly represented the school at the Loreto Normanhurst Regatta. Sixteen crews from Years 7 through 11 competed across the day over a 2000-metre course, demonstrating athleticism, teamwork, and school spirit.

We extend special congratulations to Alannah Ng, who secured first place in the Year 8 single scull (1x) category. Additionally, to our Year 11 crew- Rebecca Beaton, Eve Parker, Eliza Kershaw Macdonald, Nicola Keast, and Alannah Ng – achieved an outstanding result, winning gold in the School Girl quad scull (4x+).

 The MLC girls did so well on the weekend at the Loreto Normanhurst regatta, with 5 podium finishes and 2 golds! All the girls pushed so hard, and it was a great first regatta out at SIRC to start the season.

– Eve Parker (Year 11)

Over the weekend we raced at the Loreto Normanhurst regatta, which was the opening regatta for the 25/26 rowing season. Everyone was filled with excitement, and it was also us year 9’s first 2km race. The day resulted in great results with everybody across all the year groups everyone put a very strong effort in and showed great teamwork as we cheered one another on throughout the whole day.

2025 Festival of Speech

On Saturday, a dedicated team of 13 students attended the annual IGSA Festival of Speech at Kincoppal Rose Bay. Unlike last year’s comprehensive two-day event hosted by MLC School, this year’s festival consisted of just ten sections and did not include Debating, Drama or Theatresports.

The day featured pleasant weather and impressive views of Sydney Harbour from the terraces at Kincoppal. Our students presented commendable performances in all categories. A notable achievement was Bridget Cortis-Jones (Year 9), who secured first place among 25 participants in the Junior Readings section. Bridget had previously achieved second place in the Junior Poetry category in 2024, demonstrating consistent excellence.

Our staff support team, Lisa Moloney, Mel Boyd, Sarah Jauncey, and Monica Brian, provided invaluable assistance, ensuring that each student received encouragement and recognition for their efforts. Their commitment enabled them to attend all student presentations, and they noted the high calibre of performance across the board.

We extend our gratitude to the following students for representing MLC School with distinction and for the considerable time invested in training and preparation for each event:

• Senior Public Speaking: Harriet Hahn (Year 11)
• Junior Public Speaking: Caydence Sumantri (Year 9)
• Junior Soapbox: Natalia Gardiner (Year 9)
• Senior Readings: Josephine Doan (Year 10)
• Junior Readings: Bridget Cortis-Jones (Year 9)
• Senior Poetry: Jordan Vo (Year 11)
• Junior Poetry: Alex Price (Year 8)
• Religious and Ethical Questions: Ella Hu, Umaiza Mahfuz, Stephy Liang (Year 11)
• Current Affairs: Amelia Tchan, Isabella Millgate, Elena Tulloch (Year 11)

Several students participated for the first time this year, and prior experience proved beneficial for competitive performance. While overall results did not match those of previous years, it is anticipated that the insights gained will contribute to improved outcomes at next year’s festival.

All students involved were outstanding ambassadors for MLC School.

‘The IGSA Festival of Speech is a competition that invites dozens of students from independent girls’ schools in Sydney to participate in various categories, such as Public Speaking, Poetry, Readings, and Current Affairs, among many others. The festival is highly competitive. Yet, regardless of results, I’m sure each student enjoyed the opportunity to improve their speaking skills, learn new knowledge, and meet likeminded people. It was thrilling to both perform and listen to other students’ performances; this competition provides a safe space for high school girls’ voices to shine.’
– Jordan Vo (Year 12)

‘I was so honoured to be able to represent MLC School at the annual IGSA Festival of Speech 2025 and to perform in the Senior Readings Section. We competed against many girls’ independent schools ranging between 20 to almost 30 schools per section, allowing me to experience the different styles and performances from each school. I was very nervous before my performance, but the adrenaline helped me to build the courage to deliver my readings with purpose and engagement, and I was proud of how I’d performed despite my nerves. I’m grateful for this opportunity I was granted and the experiences I will build from my encounter within a Festival like this, and I know that whilst it might seem nerve-wracking, it ultimately built my inner strength and courage.’

STEM Success at Sydney Science Park

Round Square Regional Exchange Hosting Term 4

‘This term I was lucky enough to be part of the MLC School exchange. This was an exciting time for me and my exchange student Ryan. We had a fun time, visiting circular quay, Coogee, Bondi beach and Bondi junction, Luna Park and north Sydney. It was not only exciting for us but also our friends, especially having someone new in our class to talk and hang out with at lunch, although it was really sad when Ryan had to leave. This was a really great experience that I will remember for a long time!’
– Olivia Burke (Year 8)

‘This term, I was lucky to host Chloe from Scotch Oakburn College in Launceston, for two weeks, as part of the school exchange program. I had a great time showing her around MLC School, introducing her to our friends and teachers, and getting her involved in our lessons and activities. Throughout her stay, we compared what school life is like in Tasmania and Sydney and found lots of fun. It was fascinating to learn more about her school and daily life back in Launceston. The exchange was such an enjoyable experience for everyone involved. I made new memories and built new friendships. Even though her visit went by quickly, I am so glad to have her with us and am excited to visit Tasmania soon!’
