The event provided valuable time for the cohort to come together, enjoy games, music, food and conversation, and celebrate the friendships and community that have been such an important part of their senior years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"Paragraph SCXW5200336 BCX8\">What stood out most throughout the afternoon was the enthusiasm, warmth and positivity of the cohort. The energy students brought to the event created a joyful atmosphere. From spontaneous singalongs to shared games and plenty of laughter, it was wonderful to see students making the most of the opportunity to spend time together as they approach the final weeks of school.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"Paragraph SCXW5200336 BCX8\"><em>Stay and Play<\/em> was a reminder of what makes the Class of 2026 so special. Their sense of fun, care for one another and ability to embrace the moment made the afternoon a memorable one for all. We are incredibly proud of the young women they have become and grateful for the spirit they bring to these special events.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"Paragraph SCXW5200336 BCX8\">Congratulations to our Year 12 students on reaching several important milestones this week. Our IB students completed their Chinese, Japanese, French and Spanish Language Orals after months of preparation, while DT students submitted their HSC Major Works that reflect their creativity and dedication. We also commend the HSC Drama class, who completed their Performance Examination on Monday with courage and confidence. Well done Year 12 on your commitment and perseverance and a big thank you to all their teachers for the support and guidance they continue to provide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"Paragraph SCXW5200336 BCX8\">With only two and a half weeks of classes remaining, every lesson counts. We encourage all students to attend school consistently and engage positively in their learning, making the most of the time they have with their teachers and peers. Regular attendance, active participation and a commitment to learning will help students finish the term strongly and ensure they are well prepared for the important weeks ahead. We thank families for their ongoing support in helping students make the most of these final weeks of school.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"Paragraph SCXW5200336 BCX8\"><b>Key dates for the diary:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Saturday 5<\/b><b>\u00a0and Sunday 6<\/b><b>\u00a0September: <\/b>Dance Showcase<\/li>\n<li><b>Tuesday 8<\/b><b>\u00a0September: <\/b>Senior School House Athletics Carnival<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"Paragraph SCXW5200336 BCX8\"><b>Thursday 17<\/b><b>\u00a0September:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p class=\"Paragraph SCXW5200336 BCX8\" role=\"presentation\">10am \u2013 Year 12 Paver Reveal (select students and families)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"Paragraph SCXW5200336 BCX8\" role=\"presentation\">11am \u2013 Class of 2026 Valedictory Assembly and Service (students and guests)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"Paragraph SCXW5200336 BCX8\" role=\"presentation\">7pm \u2013 Class of 2026 Valedictory Dinner (students and guests) Le Montage, Lilyfield<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Invitation to High Potential\u00a0Learning\u00a0Showcase\u00a0\u2013 Term 3 Event<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Parents and students from Kindergarten to Year 12 are warmly invited to attend.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hosted by: MLC School\u00a0Learning\u00a0Enhancement Department<\/strong>\u00a0<br \/>\n<strong>When: Monday 7 September<\/strong>\u00a0<br \/>\n<strong>Time: 4pm &#8211; 5pm<\/strong>\u00a0<br \/>\n<strong>Location: Ailsa Butcher Room<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>MLC School is delighted to present its first High Potential\u00a0Learning\u00a0Showcase, celebrating the creativity,\u00a0curiosity\u00a0and achievements of students from Junior School and Senior School.
