Year 6 Parents – Important – Language Selection – Year 7 2025
Earlier this week, Year 6 parents (moving into Year 7 2025) were sent a curious looking email. This contained a link for you to make your daughter’s language selection for 2025. We understand that the email may have seemed impersonal and unclear, and we apologise for any confusion or concern this may have caused.
To clarify, the link provided is indeed legitimate and is intended to help us gather your preferences for your child’s language studies next year. Your input is very important to us, and we want to ensure that every student has the opportunity to study the language of their choice.
Language Selection must be made by Wednesday 23 October 2024.
STEP 1: Click my.edval.education/rpc/login
STEP 2: Enter the web code in the email you receivedone email sent per family) – this code is unique to your daughter.
STEP 3: Select a language your daughter would like to study for Year 7 and Year 8. Whilst the School will endeavour to assign each student to her first choice of language, it is dependent on an assessment of background, demand and staffing combinations, so there is no guarantee. It is therefore essential that you indicate a reserve preference.
STEP 4: Click [Submit].
Languages are an integral part of the curriculum at MLC School and are a mandatory subject for Year 7 to Year 8. The language that is selected in Year 7 will be studied until the end of Year 8 and should your daughter wish to continue with her language studies, she may choose this language as one of her electives in Year 9.
It is important to note that we run a language acquisition program which is designed for students who are new to learning the language or have limited prior experience. Our courses are not intended for those with a cultural and linguistic background in the language.
Students entering Year 7 in 2025 are required to select one of Chinese (Mandarin), French or Japanese. Please be mindful of your family’s cultural and language background in making a selection. Students will not be allowed to study a language where they have a cultural or linguistic background.
Whilst the School will endeavour to assign each student to her first choice of language, it is dependent on an assessment of background, demand and staffing combinations, so there is no guarantee. It is therefore essential that you indicate a second preference.
Please feel free to contact Studies Office by email here should you have any general queries.
