Year 8

Welcome back to Term 4. I trust that you all enjoyed a relaxing and restful break over the past three weeks. We are looking ahead to another busy term, where there are many opportunities for your daughter to become involved in the programs and activities that MLC School has to offer.

I encourage you to sit with your daughter and look ahead at the Term 4 assessment schedule as there are a number of assessments in the first few weeks that will require planning, time management and revision. This document has been made available to all students through their Luminary Canvas page and is also available on the Omnia portal.

As we start a new term, please also ensure you are familiar with the Parent Information Handbook, particularly the school policies and procedures regarding ICT use, mobile phones, uniform, leave and attendance. In Term 4, students should be wearing the summer uniform:

Dress: Pale blue dress. When standing, dress length should rest at the knee.
Socks: Navy (short).
Shoes: Flat heeled, black, lace-up leather shoes, no contrast stitching.
Backpack: School backpack only.
Travel to and from School: Blazer not jumper if needed

As always, please do not hesitate to contact me or your daughter’s Luminary if you have any queries, concerns or simply wish to touch base about her academic, social and emotional wellbeing.

Important dates coming up for Year 8 this term include:

IGSA Festival of Speech: Friday 25 October and Saturday 26 October 2024 (Week 2)
