Taking over the Australian Men\u2019s Cricket team after what has been referred to as &#8216;the darkest hours of Australian Cricket&#8217;, Head Coach Justin Langer set about bringing former players back into the fold to mentor the team. He suggested that &#8216;our young guys and all our players can learn so much from them, they\u2019re great mentors&#8217;. Fast forward a number of years and the team, and its culture, had been transformed into a winning machine.<\/p>\n<p>For our last Academic Care session this term, Year 11 and Year 12 saw the return of four successful MLC School &#8216;Old Girls&#8217; from the class of 2024 to discuss their academic successes, failures, tips and tricks. Thank you to <strong>Danielle Dib, Sarah Furlan, Zara Constance, Elizabeth (Lizzy) Bieri.<\/strong>\u00a0With both the IB and HSC represented, they offered both general advice, as well as course, and even subject, specific guidance. What resonated for all girls, was the importance of creating a stringent study plan, prioritising upcoming assessment, and \u2018chipping away\u2019 at study notes or foreign language acquisition. The \u2018Old Girls&#8217; were generous with their time, and later gave some one-on-one advice to those keen to know more.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u2013 David Posker-Hill<\/strong><\/em> <br \/>\nAcademic Care Coordinator<\/p>\n<p><em>Click on gallery to view full images<\/em><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-4585 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2025\/04\/Academic-Care_IMG_5910.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2025\/04\/Academic-Care_IMG_5910-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2025\/04\/Academic-Dare_IMG_5915.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2025\/04\/Academic-Dare_IMG_5915-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2025\/04\/Academic-Care-OGs.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2025\/04\/Academic-Care-OGs-300x188.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s something special about learning from the successes and mistakes of those who have walked the path before us.
