Where memories were made

2026-04-27T09:26:07+10:0027 October, 2025|Categories: SOC Blog|

In a recent conversation with our oldest Collegian at 102 years, Airdrie Richardson (nee Cameron, MLC, ’41) shared fond memories from her three years at the Methodist Ladies’ College. Her three sisters—Ailsa Bain (nee Cameron, MLC, ’37, dec.), Denise Wilson (nee Cameron, MLC, ’41, dec.), and Sheila Jones (nee Cameron, MLC, ’38, dec.) also attended the College during the 1930s.   

The Cameron family lived at Clareville, a heritage-listed farming property in Western Junction. Airdrie, the only sibling born at Clareville, lived there for 94 years and fondly recalled always looking forward to returning home. Today, Clareville is owned by renowned […]

CHOOSING YOUR OWN ADVENTURE

LESSONS FROM THE LUGE

During the recent school holidays, I had the pleasure of spending quality time with family and experiencing the thrill of luging in Rotorua, New Zealand. For those unfamiliar, luging involves navigating a gravity-powered cart down winding tracks – a mix of excitement, challenge, and choice. What struck me most was how closely this mirrors a positive educational journey.

Before setting off, there was a safety briefing, much like the guidance we offer students before they embark on new learning experiences. Then comes the opportunity to challenge yourself, take healthy risks, […]

Year 1 Sports Morning

I would like to express my gratitude for the warm welcome I have received since joining the College community this Term. It has been a wonderful start, filled with opportunities to connect with students and staff across both campuses.

My visit to Early Learning classrooms and the Erina Celebration Day have been a particular delight. Students were quick to discuss their explorations of tadpoles, pumpkin plants, bees and goldfish, amongst many other things. Working  alongside our youngest learners truly captured the joy and curiosity that defines the early years […]

CHINESE OUTINGS

2025-10-24T10:16:20+11:0023 October, 2025|Categories: Term 4 Week 2|

Recently, our Year 7 Chinese students took part in a fun and meaningful SOC2City bubble tea excursion! After learning Chinese vocabulary for fruits and drinks in Term 3, students had the chance to put their new language skills into practice by ordering bubble tea in Chinese. Immersed in a real cultural setting, they not only improved their speaking confidence but also deepened their understanding of Chinese culture. They even learned how the chewy tapioca pearls are made — a highlight that everyone found fascinating and delicious!

Year 6 students had a lunch visit […]

SOUTH AFRICAN EXPERIENCE

2025-10-24T10:15:51+11:0023 October, 2025|Categories: Term 4 Week 2|

For Year 10 student Lily Taylor, a six-week Round Square exchange to Woodridge College in South Africa has been a journey filled with discovery, challenge, and friendship. From early-morning safaris to the rhythm of boarding school life, Lily’s experience has been one she will never forget.

One of the most memorable parts of her exchange came right at the beginning — a five-day visit to Kruger National Park. “We saw so many incredible animals — lions, elephants, and hippos — all in their natural habitat,” Lily recalled. “It was so different from anything […]

A CULTURAL JOURNEY IN OMAN

2025-10-24T10:15:59+11:0023 October, 2025|Categories: Term 4 Week 2|

Following the 2025 Round Square International Conference in Dubai, a group of students embarked on a post-conference cultural tour through Oman — an experience that offered a rare and authentic window into the heart of the Middle East. In a region often portrayed through modern skylines and rapid development, Oman stood as a powerful reminder of what is possible when a nation remains deeply connected to its heritage while embracing the world with warmth and openness. The group returned home with a newfound appreciation for Islam, a profound respect for Omani tradition, […]
