Year 8

During Academic Care on Wednesday, Tim Lennon, Director of Indigenous Education, officially launched the Year 8 Immersion program with Year 8. This term students will commence their Immersive Learning Unit, entitled a ‘Sense of Place’. Students, through their learning in Religion, Geography and across Truth Telling sessions in Academic Care will be immersed in Aboriginal culture as well as explore the issues that have affected and still affect the peoples of the Eora, Wiradjuri, and Darug nations. Students will hear from a range of Aboriginal voices on various topics as well as participate in on Country opportunities. Angela Renwick (Adventure and Immersions Coordinator) also introduced the on Country experiences, scheduled for Week 3, Term 3 (Monday 4 August 2025). During this week away from MLC School, students will experience two nights in Mudgee as well as day excursions in Sydney, all centred on broadening their understanding of Aboriginal culture.  

Big Sister, Little Sister was held on Thursday morning. Year 8 prepared activities, sweets and fun for their Year 12 Big Sisters. Students participated in Blookets, Kahoots, played the chocolate game, did some mindfulness colouring and many enjoyed a little sugar hit! Thank you to all of Year 8 and their Luminaries for preparing an enjoyable morning for Year 12. It was wonderful, as always, to see the cohorts come together and celebrate this shared experience! 

As we look ahead to Week 4, the MLC School Sydney Opera House Concert is finally here. This concert will showcase the exceptional musical talents of all of our Senior School students and is a day they will remember for many years to come!
