This week is Book Week and the School has been enlivened by workshops with authors, special book related activities and preparations for the big parade that will conclude the week on Friday.

"Hello!" from our Senior School girls currently at the Victorian Interschool Snowsports Championships at Mt Buller! There has been lots of action with the Alpine GS and Ski Cross events, with more racing to continue. Good luck, girls!

This week, we are officially launching the 2018 Parents and Friends' Association Twilight Festival, and I am confident that it is going to be spectacular! A great deal of work has already gone into the planning of stalls and entertainment and we are particularly looking forward to spreading out the rides across the new grassed area adjacent to Raymond House and the multipurpose court, giving plenty of space to move around and a chance to provide a range of rides for all ages!​

We recently celebrated 100 Days of Prep! As part of the celebration, our Prep girls decided that they would share '100 acts of kindness'. They wrote 100 cards to hand out to students and staff today, to tell them how terrific they are!

It has been an amazing week and a half! The Fundraising afternoon last Friday was a great success and the girls had a ball, while raising money for some very worthwhile causes. Thank you to the Prefects for their organisation of this event and to all the staff who supported it. In addition, we have had visitors to the Mansion for Open House Melbourne, Raymond House and Blinkbonnie House Learning Conferences, the Principal’s Soiree, the Lowther Hall Society Lunch, the Winter Strings Festival and all the other regular things that go on: all things that make Lowther Hall the wonderful place it is!

Thank you to everyone who attended our Careers Expo last week! Hundreds of students and their families were in attendance to gather information and inspiration from over 60 Old Grammarians, staff and tertiary representatives about career pathways and planning.

Congratulations to our senior Lowther dance teams who competed recently at the AASCF Winterfest Championships! The Hip Hop Team....

​Our Mansion will be open to the public this weekend for 'Open House Melbourne'. Built in 1890, the Mansion (formerly Earlsbrae Hall) remains one of the finest examples of documented works of architects Lawson and Grey.
