Year 12 Events for the Class of 2026

Dear MLC School Year 12 parent/carer,

Our Year 12 students continue to impress us week after week with their resilience, tenacity and kindness. 

The final years of school are challenging, but of course rewarding. The upcoming celebrations and events are not just a culmination of hard work, but an opportunity to reflect on the friendships formed, the memories created, and the personal growth your daughter has experienced.  

Some of the major events planned for our Year 12 Class of 2026 are detailed below. I encourage you to note these dates in your diary and take the journey with your daughter. Please note, not every event is open to parents and friends, though there are many events to be celebrated together. 

I look forward to sharing many of these occasions with you and your family. 

For event enquiries contact MLC School Event  Manager, Sandra Chau.

If you wish to discuss anything further please do not hesitate to contact me.  

Yours sincerely,

Joanna Graffen
Head of Senior School

Year 12 Paver Reveal

Thursday 17 September 2026
Chapel Lawn
10am – 10.30am
Students and families

For those Year 12 families who purchase a commemorative paver for their daughter, the pavers will be laid and revealed to the students in a small ceremony. 

Celebrate Year 12 in a Different Way

Year 12 is an important time in your daughter’s life. Over the years she has dared to be more and has left her mark on the MLC School landscape. Why not leave something lasting at the School to celebrate her time here?

A gift of a paver in your daughter’s name is a permanent tribute to her and your family’s involvement with MLC School. It can include a couple of brief lines about her activities or interests. Order a paver by Friday 17 July 2026 to ensure that your daughter will be able to see her name in the entry way of the school grounds on her last day of school.

Orders received after that date will be laid a little later.

Though it seems that your daughter’s time at MLC School is coming to an end, her connection here will never fade; she will always be part of the fabric of the School, as one of our cherished Old Girls. A paver is a tangible way to provide a lasting memory.

More information about inscriptions and cost can be found here.

For enquiries please contact MLC School Archivist, Barbara Hoffman.
