Ringing in a new school year

After a false start due to the COVID-19 lockdown, the annual PLC Parents Welcome Sundowner took place on a warm night on Friday 19 March. More than 400 parents and guardians enjoyed mingling with fellow PLC community members and staff to welcome the 2021 school year.

The entertainment was provided by 2020 graduate, Emma van Schouwen whose soulful voice filled the Quad.

PLC Parents Sundowner Co-ordinator Lizzie Marinko said it was an absolutely fabulous night with everyone so happy to catch up with each other.

“I love the Sundowner as it provides a wonderful, opportunity for the whole school to come together and enables parents to catch up with everyone.

“It is also the best way for new parents to be welcomed to the school.

“The Welcome Sundowner really typifies everything that I love about PLC, the community is so welcoming and inclusive,” Mrs Marinko said.

Easter Service & High Tea

On the last day of Term 1, Thursday 1 April, PLC invited Old Collegians who left the school 50-plus years ago to an Easter Service held in the Hugh Baird Sport and Recreation Centre , followed by a high tea in the Lighthouse Community Room. This year, it was notable that so many Old Collegians returned to catch up with friends. Noreen Craig (Class of 1939) was our most senior member at 99 years of age. We thank her, and every one of the 75 Old Collegians who attended this special event.
