\"\"Thank you to our Year 3 parents who attended the Year 3 assembly this week. It is a lovely opportunity for the girls to\u00a0showcase\u00a0some of their learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Parent Workshops
\n<\/strong>\u00a0
\nThis week we continued our offering of parent workshops, with Year 6 Strengthening Positive Online Behaviour<\/em> and Pre-Kindergarten\u2019s Laying the Foundations for Lifelong Learning<\/em>. The feedback has been very positive. I appreciate that it is not possible for all parents to attend; however, these sessions are designed to be delivered in person and are therefore scheduled prior to our Celebrations of Learning.<\/p>\n

Next Monday at 8am, Kindergarten\u2019s Foundations of Early Literacy<\/em> will be held in The Daphne Line Hall. Current Pre-Kindergarten parents are most welcome to attend.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Staffing News<\/strong><\/p>\n

As Term 1 concludes we thank Lina El-Khoury<\/strong> who has been teaching Year 3E. We are very fortunate to have such a skilled and dedicated educator on our team. Lina will continue to work at MLC School as a casual teacher whilst also working for the Faculty of Education at the University of NSW.

\nThis week we announced that Eddie Park<\/strong> has been successfully appointed to the specialist teaching position of Technology, eLearning and Innovations Leader at PLC Sydney. This is a wonderful career opportunity for Eddie, and he will be greatly missed by students, parents and colleagues.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We will also greatly miss Deborah Doyle,<\/strong> better known as Miss Debbie. She has given so much to the girls and staff during her years at MLC Junior School. Deb is retiring at the end of this term, and we hope to see her occasionally as she joins our casual teacher assistant team. We wish Eddie and Deb all the very best for the future.<\/p>\n
