Year 9

I want to start this piece by congratulating the Year 9 students who received their certificate and pin for the Spirit of MLC School Award during last week’s Senior School Assembly. This award recognises the positive contributions these students have made to both the MLC School and broader community. Well done to the following students:

– Chloe Lu
– Melisande Pitman
– Mia Waterhouse
– Caydence Sumantri

Academic Care

This week was a busy one for Year 9, with many students completing or submitting multiple assessment tasks. With this in mind, the focus for the Luminary program this week was on academic wellbeing. Each student had the opportunity to have a one-on-one conversation with their Luminary about how they were managing their time, their goals and what support they might need. Students also completed a goal-setting exercise in preparation for their supervised study period held on Wednesday during Academic Care.   

With more assessment tasks upcoming over the next two weeks, I also encourage students to ensure they are using the resources on their Academic Care Canvas page. This page also includes the worksheets shared through Dr Salter’s Study Skills workshop in Year 7. A reminder that Dr Salter’s study skills site can also be accessed by you at home to support your daughter to develop productive study habits and practices:
