As part of the celebrations, our Indigenous Dance group performed a series of Wiradjuri dances that they have been learning with Aunty Rayma Johnson. The NRW 2026 theme, <em>All In<\/em>, calls on all Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation every day. The students\u2019 performance reflected this theme in action, sharing culture with the community and inviting us all to engage, learn and understand more deeply. It reminds us that reconciliation is not a passive process; rather, it requires active participation and a shared commitment to respect and positive change.<\/p>\n<p>During our year meeting, we congratulated the many Year 7 girls who received the Spirit of MLC School Award from <strong>Henry Wijanto,<\/strong> Round Square Coordinator. The number of awards received by our Year 7 girls is the highest ever awarded so far. Well done!<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, during Luminary time, the girls did some relaxing activities before camp such as playing wordle, colouring in or playing some trivia games. This week, we also had a Peer session led by the Year 10 students to focus on resilience in preparation for camp.<\/p>\n<p>And now\u2026. the time has come to go on \u2018The Journey\u2019 and head to camp! This week has been busy with students getting their final information for a wonderful week ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Important to note:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Students are to\u00a0arrive and\u00a0be\u00a0seated in the\u00a0Kent House\u00a0playground\u00a0by 8.15am on Tuesday.<\/li>\n<li>As we are organising a large cohort of students, we please ask that parents and carers quickly say their goodbyes outside the Kent House gates as we need to keep the area around Kent House clear for safety when loading and heading onto the buses.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>The MLC School camp mobile number is 0448 400 178. This number is for emergencies only. If I need to contact a parent during the camp, it will be via this number. Please do not message this number for general check ins \u2013 I will be busy spending time with your daughters, face to face, for the duration of the camp.<\/li>\n<li>Unlike primary school camps, you will not be updated regularly on your child via Seesaw or another similar platform. As per the camp communication guidelines outlined in the Code of Conduct you can expect; an app message on arrival, one or two social media posts (not all students may be featured), and an app message regarding return time to school once we have left the camp site.<\/li>\n<li>As much as you\u00a0might\u00a0want to know that your child is\u00a0alright, please do not allow them to take their phone\u00a0or smartwatch\u00a0or ask them to take these devices\u00a0to camp.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Finally,\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0going to be cold! Ensure your child has\u00a0thermal\u00a0clothes, a\u00a0very\u00a0warm\u00a0jacket\u00a0and\u00a0a beanie.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We can\u2019t wait for &#8216;The Journey&#8217; to begin!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:mstolzi@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au\"><em><strong>\u2013 Martina Stolzi<\/strong><\/em><\/a><br \/>\nActing Head of Year 7<\/p>\n<p><em>Click on image gallery for full size images.<\/em><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-45567 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2026\/05\/IMG_2259.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2026\/05\/IMG_2259-480x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2026\/05\/IMG_2266.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2026\/05\/IMG_2266-480x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2026\/05\/indigenous-dance.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2026\/05\/indigenous-dance-480x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, we marked National Reconciliation Week (NRW) during our Chapel services.
