Congratulations to Yunaa and Liah in Year 8 on winning the Intermediate Division of the prestigious University of Melbourne Mathematics and Statistics Research Competition.

Entries were judged according to the originality, creativity, communication, presentation and elegance of their solutions.

The girls made progress on a fiendishly difficult maths problem whose solution has eluded many mathematicians to date and have assured their teacher that the $1500 prize money will be spent on new maths textbooks that will help ensure victory next year!

Well done to Rita and Seraphina in Year 9 for creating a unique fundraising project in support of the World Literacy Foundation.

The girls recently organised zoom sessions, reading books and conducting writing workshops, for children in Years 2-4 experiencing COVID lockdowns in Australia and overseas.

The girls have raised $300 so far from over 70 interested respondents from Australia and Singapore and hope to reach their goal of $350.
 

Please enjoy this outstanding audio performance of Waltzing Matilda, which proves that being in isolation has not stopped our girls from making magnificent music together.

Jody, Hannah, Claire, and Tiffany are inspiring in this passionate, energetic, and unique interpretation of this much-loved song.

Fantastic to see such well-written and articulate pieces in the Monash Student Space newsletter from PLC students Rita and Serene.

In this month's edition they reflect on mental health and how to cope with COVID.

The Junior School Student Representative Council wanted to reach out to our Old Collegians who might be alone or isolated at home at this time and share a message of care and support.
