Year 8

The past week has been a time for celebration and preparation.

Firstly, congratulations to Piya Kaur (Year 8) and Amélie Wallace (Year 8) who performed at MLC Idol last Friday! It was a wonderful, albeit hot, afternoon and all of Year 8 were dancing and cheering in support of the performers. A special mention must also go to the Year 8 cheer squad who supported Piya and Amélie with particular zest and enthusiasm!

We also welcomed some new Year 9 2025 students on Friday for Orientation Day. Thank you to all Year 8 students who made these new girls feel very welcome and included, demonstrating the MLC School Values.

This week during out pastoral care time, students participated in a range of activities to prepare for the end of the year! On Monday, students gathered in their Houses to rehearse their dances for the House Christmas Challenge. The final performance will take place on Wednesday in Week 8, and we are looking forward to celebrating the creativity, collaboration and enthusiasm of all MLC School students. On Thursday, students also celebrated the end of the year with their Luminary groups and spent time organising their lockers and discussing their plans for the holiday break.

To finish the term, students will participate in a session run by the Director of eLearning, Marianna Carlino. The purpose of this session is to support students with their digital organisation, and there will be a particular focus on using Outlook effectively and organising files on OneDrive. This will be a valuable session for students as they prepare for their Year 9 studies.

Please see below an overview of the arrangements for the final week of Term 4:

• Wednesday 4 December 2024 – Last day of term for students. Students will finish the school year by participating in the House Christmas Challenge.
• Thursday 5 December 2024 – Speech Night at the ICCC. A reminder that students do not attend classes on this day. Attendance at Speech Night is compulsory and your daughter is expected to wear full formal summer uniform, which includes a blazer and polished shoes. More information about arrival times will be shared soon. 

As always, please do not hesitate to contact me or your daughter’s Luminary teacher if you need any assistance.

I hope all have a lovely holiday break with your family.

Head of Year 8
