I hope you and your family enjoyed a restful break and some valuable time together. With Urban Challenge and Cadet Camp held right at the end of last term, many of the girls finished the term understandably exhausted and very much in need of the holidays. It has been lovely to see them return refreshed and ready for the term ahead.<\/p>\n<p>It has been a vibrant first week back, with the school full of energy and conversation. On Wednesday we enjoyed a fantastic Senior School House Swimming Carnival, and it was wonderful to see such strong participation, encouragement and House spirit throughout the day. The House themes were, as always, creative and colourful, and the sense of community made for a memorable event.<\/p>\n<p>A reminder that Monday is the ANZAC Day public holiday, and the school will be closed. We look forward to welcoming students back on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:kschurch@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au\"><em><strong>\u2013 Kate Schurch<\/strong><\/em><\/a><br \/>\nHead of Year 9<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-44851\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2026\/04\/Year-9-1-640x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2026\/04\/Year-9-1-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2026\/04\/Year-9-1-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2026\/04\/Year-9-1-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2026\/04\/Year-9-1-240x150.jpg 240w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2026\/04\/Year-9-1.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to Term 2.
