Year 11

As we approach the final week of this 11-week term, we want to extend our best wishes to the Year 11 Cadets heading off to camp. This term has been a significant journey for all Year 11 students, marked by their first examination block and numerous opportunities for growth and learning. Their dedication and hard work have not gone unnoticed, and teachers are proud of the resilience and determination they have shown.

In addition to their academic achievements, they have also excelled in various community and co-curricular activities. From supporting their Year 12 peers at the Swimming Carnival to being fabulous Big Sisters to their Year 7 Little Sisters and also organising House Chapel Services, showcasing their talents as musicians, rowers, sports team players, and athletes, they have embodied the spirit of our MLC School community. With one week to go, we encourage them to reflect on the term and ensure they make the most of the final stretch.

During Academic Care on Tuesday 1 April, we heard from four students from both HSC and IB of the Year 12 2024 cohort. Students do enjoy hearing from someone who has really lived the experience where they can learn some new tips and reaffirm that their current strategies are time-appropriate for the first term of Year 11.

On Thursday 3 April, I did some training in preparation for leading this excellent year group next year by playing on the teacher team against Year 12 MLC School and Newington students. I have a long way to go, but I will keep practising. The positive reinforcement from Year 11 went a long way.
