PLC had the honour of hosting a truly inspirational event on Saturday featuring three outstanding Old Collegians. Hosted by Anna Svenson (Hall 2004), our guest speakers, Ash London (2004), Nat Edwards (2004) and Lisa Teh (2001) shared insights into their journeys towards success in the media industry. From navigating the complexities of the media world to strategies and tips for leveraging social media for personal and business branding, they left us truly inspired. One of the highlights was their candid discussion on overcoming challenges in a male-dominated industry.

PLC mothers and their daughters gathered at the Annual Old Collegians' Mothers and Daughters Morning Tea to celebrate their shared history of a PLC education. Together with the Acting Principal, Lisa Saffin and Old Collegians' Association President, Ailsa Wilson (1978), everyone enjoyed delicious treats whilst sharing stories, experiences and fond memories.

Congratulations to Jenny, Jennifer and Shin Yi who won the Grand Final of the Debaters Association of Victoria Senior British Parliamentary Competition. Held at Caulfield Grammar School, the Grand Final included teams from Xavier College, St Catherine's School and Melbourne Grammar. Our PLC students were convincing in both their manner and method, showing a sophisticated control of the material and the structure required for the British Parliamentary style.

Last night we celebrated the wonderful talents of our girls during the launch of the Senior Art Exhibition. The Principal’s Foyer was filled with creativity and colour as guests walked through appreciating the artistic creations of our students. Congratulations to Alvis, Evan and Summer for receiving a PLC Senior Art Award presented by the PLC Foundation President, Diana Bevington. Well done to everyone involved.

We congratulate Old Collegian, Emma Lyn Winkler (2017), who has been shortlisted for this year’s Artsthread Global Design Graduate Show in collaboration with Gucci. Her graduate exhibition, including large scale, collage-based paintings and an animation, has been selected as one of only five Australian fine art graduates. This work questions how to deal with grief and draws on fears, struggles with mental health conditions and experiences growing up.
