Congratulations to the Class of 2021! 

Over the last two years of their schooling, they have faced a very challenging and disrupted time due to the ongoing impact of the pandemic.

Despite the unpredictability, our girls results are amongst the highest ever achieved and they can fittingly be proud of their achievements.

The College congratulates the Class of 2021 who contributed to every area of school life in and outside the classroom.
 
In the last two years of their schooling, they faced a very difficult and challenging time due to the impact of COVID-19. 2021 however has been a memorable year, not only because it was their graduating year at PLC, but because of the way the girls embraced the adversities of their everyday life while remaining optimistic about their futures.
 

On the 12th of October, a team of 12 PLC girls competed in the secondary girls’ interschool state finals. There was fierce competition with many tough battles fought, and the final scores for the tournament were extremely close.

Prior to this tournament the team had exchanged theory and practised together at Chess Club, analysing various positions and learning from our mistakes. The girls also played in a series of open interschool tournaments, which provided strong competition for additional practice.

We were delighted to host PLC Old Collegian Leanne Hall (1996) at our recent online Literature Festival.

 @lilymandarin spoke openly about overcaming barriers to become an award-winning writer for children and young adults at a time when there were few role-models from Asian-Australian backgrounds.

 Students also heard from Jane Godwin, Thomas Mayor and Evelyn Araluen who explored Indigenous and multi-cultural themes in their works.

You may have recently heard of Dr Sam Blake, a young Australian Mathematician who decrypted a secret code that had baffled police investigators and mathematicians for over 50 years. As part of Maths Week 2021, PLC was lucky to have Sam present his amazing work to our students.
