Year 8

The final week of term has arrived!

Despite normally being a week where the wind down to winter break commences, there were still exciting things taking place for Year 8 this week.

On Monday night students and parents joined Linda Emms (Head of Learning and Teaching) and Chris Barnes (Deputy Head of Senior School – Academic) for the Subject Selection webinar. During this webinar students and parents were able to ask questions about the process and to better understand what subjects are on offer for Year 9 2023. The next step in the process was covered by Penny Pachos (Head of Department – Mathematics) on Thursday during a Year Meeting. Students were advised on the subject selection process and when the portal for selection would open (Tuesday 19 July, Week 1, Term 3).

On Wednesday the Year 8 Immersive Learning Experience was officially launched with notification being sent to parents. Our Year 8 students will be pioneers in their experience of the new program; being the first students to engage in an Immersive Learning experience for over two years. They will be undertaking a combination of experiential learning and integrated curriculum approaches on the topic: A sense of place.

One of the key facets of this experience is the off-campus immersion experience taking place in Week 4 of Term 3 with students travelling to Canberra, and the Central West of NSW. We are thrilled to be gearing up for this experience and are looking forward to working with the girls across Term 3 on this program.

Thank you again for a wonderful term with Year 8 at MLC School. I hope you all have a relaxing break and that you can take some time and relax or holiday with your families.

Head of Year 8
