Today we celebrate World Teachers\u2019 Day. I would like to thank all our dedicated MLC\u00a0School staff for the care and support they provide to our students. My thanks also go to our P&F and wider parent community for your kind words of appreciation. Your encouragement, together with the joy of seeing your daughters reach their potential, is the greatest gift we could receive on World Teachers\u2019 Day.\u00a0<\/div>\n

Thank you to all our families who follow our car park procedures. We are very fortunate to have such a quality facility at MLC\u00a0School. Please remember that drop-off and pick-up are not permitted on Park Road. Parents and carers are welcome to park in our car park and walk onto the Junior School grounds between 8am and 8.30am, and to purchase a coffee from the canteen. All-day parking is strictly prohibited, and vehicles are checked and monitored.\u00a0<\/div>\n

Year 3 Outdoor Adventure<\/b>\u00a0<\/div>\n
This week, Year 3 enjoyed their first overnight outdoor adventure camp at Stanwell Tops. The girls took part in a range of activities, including bushwalking, wall climbing, the giant swing and the climbing tower. Students and teachers alike had a wonderful time, and I have no doubt the girls will sleep well tonight! Please look out for the story and photos in next week’s edition.<\/div>\n

Year 5\u00a0Canberra Immersion<\/b>\u00a0<\/div>\n
I joined Year 5 on their Canberra immersion experience exploring democracy. The girls had the opportunity to see Question Time in action in the House of Representatives at Parliament House. We also spent time with our local federal member, Sally Sitou (Member for Reid), as well as Simon Kennedy (Member for Cook). Other highlights included visits to the Australian Mint, the Museum of Australian Democracy, the National Electoral Education Centre, and the Australian War Memorial, as well as an evening visit to the Australian Institute of Sport.<\/div>\n
