(02) 9747 1266 Here at MLC School leadership is born of compassion.

MLC School offers a rich, well rounded education program that reflects our deeply held belief that all students have special gifts, talents and needs. It enacts our commitment as educators to bring out these gifts in each and every one of our students; to help each student find her own voice. With an in-depth knowledge of how girls learn best, the School is dedicated to creating a nurturing and en

joyable environment for our girls to adopt an intelligent and critical mindset. Our academic staff and powerful teaching programs stimulate our students to be critical thinkers, to engage in learning and enquiry from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12, to help to unlock the potential in every child. The School’s long term commitment has always been to empower our girls and young women to be fearless thinkers, to make a difference in the world and live with purpose. At MLC School harnessing the talents of others is what leadership is all about. It is part of what fearless thinking looks like day to day. We know however that leadership is a coat of many colours and so we look to create opportunities wherever we can to allow each girl at key points in her unique development to lead, from the Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12, from the smallest initiative to the greatest challenges, and everything in between. For this to happen each girl must be known and this is our highest priority. We are proud of our culturally and ethnically diverse student population, and honour the identity of every girl, acknowledging that her story contributes to our shared identity. In a strong, diverse and close knit school community, our girls and young women have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of co-curricular activities from music ensembles, visual art camps and excursions to sporting teams and special interest activities and clubs, including debating and public speaking. The camaraderie and excitement that builds through these activities is palpable. Students also have the opportunity to be part of exchange programs locally and internationally. We invite you to explore our website and learn more about the MLC School educational philosophy. Since 1886, the School has been dedicated to championing girls education; encouraging girls to be confident and to feel secure in their belonging to this rich community of learners. The long list of outstanding professional and life achievements by our former students is testament to this commitment.

The parent community came together for an evening of thoughtful discussion and practical learning at our P&F Parent Forum with parenting expert and bestselling author Michelle Mitchell.

The evening provided valuable insights into the important role friendships play in the lives of young people, with Michelle introducing her Friendship Smart Framework and sharing practical strategies to help parents support their daughters in navigating friendship challenges, social pressures and relationship dynamics with confidence.

Through a combination of research, real-world experience and relatable guidance, Michelle encouraged meaningful conversations about connection, reciprocity, resilience and wellbeing. It was a valuable opportunity for families to come together, learn and reflect on how best to support young people as they build healthy and positive relationships.

Thank you to .author for sharing her expertise and to the MLC School P&F Association for organising this special event. The P&F provides regular forums to strengthen connection, encourage open dialogue and support families in navigating the complexities of contemporary parenting and the School is most grateful for their investment on these initiatives.

Book Week brought our community together through a range of memorable activities, including inspiring author visits, a book swap, and the much-loved Book Week Parade. Across both campuses, students embraced the opportunity to discover new stories, share favourite books and celebrate the power of reading. At the Senior Campus, students and staff joined in the fun by dressing as beloved literary characters, adding creativity, colour and plenty of book-inspired conversations to the week.

As we celebrated this year’s theme, Symphony of Stories, we were reminded of the important role reading plays in nurturing imagination, curiosity and a lifelong love of learning. Whether through listening to a story, sharing a favourite book or discovering a new author, these moments help create confident readers and lasting memories.

Year 12 students recently received their graduation notebooks, generously gifted by the MLC School P&F Association, marking one of the first milestones on their path towards becoming MLC School graduates.

As they begin the final chapter of their school journey, these notebooks will become a place to collect messages of gratitude, encouragement and reflection from the people who have shaped their years at MLC School. More than just a keepsake, they will capture memories and moments that have defined their time at MLC School.

Presented during a special Year Meeting, the notebooks are a meaningful reminder of the community that has supported our students throughout their MLC School journey as they look ahead to the celebrations and milestones of the weeks to come.

Our Service Leaders recently attended the Kindness Convention, where they joined students from across Sydney to explore how kindness can make a positive impact on ourselves, our communities and the environment.

A highlight of the day was hearing from author Alice Peel, who shared insights from her book How to Be a Good Enough Kid and encouraged students to approach both themselves and others with compassion.

The convention challenged students to think creatively about real-world issues, inspiring them to develop an idea to support native pollinators through a native stingless bee garden.

Designed to attract bees and strengthen local ecosystems, the project is a wonderful example of how small actions can make a meaningful difference.

The week culminated in our STEM Diorama Competition, where Year 7 to Year 9 brought the stories of influential scientists to life through creativity, research and innovation.
