Year 10 Immersion

At MLC School, we prepare students for life beyond the classroom. This year, our revitalised Year 10 Immersion Program, Dear Future Self, gave students the opportunity to reflect on who they are, set future goals, and develop practical skills for independence. The program’s innovative design and diverse experiences made it a highlight of Term 4.

Week 5: North Coast Immersion
Students spent a week in Forster focused on wellbeing and independence—surfing, snorkelling, hiking, painting, yoga, and even budgeting and cooking their own meals. Their teamwork and positivity earned glowing feedback from providers and the public, with Forster Buslines praising them as ‘the most polite and respectful students.’

Week 6: Future Forward Week
Back on campus, students engaged in workshops on financial literacy, nutrition, sleep habits, and mental wellbeing. They learned practical skills like changing a tyre and emergency car checks, and attended a medically accurate session on menstruation and endometriosis. Career-focused experiences included barista training, creative styling, and behind-the-scenes insights at Sydney Airport, alongside university visits to the University of Technology Sydney and the University of Sydney. Staff at USYD commended the girls for their curiosity and professionalism.

Weeks 7–8: Work Experience and Final Presentations
Students then stepped into the workforce, gaining hands-on experience across diverse industries. The program concluded with personal presentations: vision boards, videos, or interviews, where students shared their aspirations and the skills they’ve developed.

Feedback from staff, industry partners, and community members consistently praised our students’ maturity, respect, and enthusiasm. These qualities reflect MLC School’s commitment to holistic education—empowering young women to become confident, capable, and future-ready.

Congratulations to our Year 10 students and the dedicated staff who made this program a resounding success. We look forward to seeing these girls embrace their senior years with optimism and purpose.
