\"\"How was your day?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I hope your daughter has settled well into the new school year, we are well into the swing of it!<\/p>\n

The year is full of promise and challenge and we, the staff, are here to support all parents and girls to live up to the promises and challenges of the year, to feel successful and grow.<\/p>\n

It is a long and very full day in the MLC Junior School. We have high expectations for our girls, and they so capably live up to them. There is lot to do and enjoy, not just during the school day but before and after school in co-curricular and sport activities.<\/p>\n

By now you might be finding you are receiving responses, such as \u201cnothing\u201d or \u201cI can\u2019t remember\u201d when asking about your daughter\u2019s day. These are typical and normal. After a bust day at school many of us need some time and space between school (or work) and home. I know I benefit from having space and time to move between work and home before focussing on cooking dinner, getting ready for the next day, reading emails\/messages or fulfilling any other commitments I have.<\/p>\n

If you want to move beyond \u201chow was school today?\u201d and getting little response, try one or more of these questions and see if you get more information:<\/p>\n
