Year 10

Year 10

This week Year 10 were informed about their cabin and day groups for the upcoming camp in Week 5 (Monday 10 November 2025). It was great to hear their excitement as they began planning their meals and it was evident from the energy in the room that they are really looking forward to what will be an excellent week away. I can’t wait to see them step into this week and grow both in independence and connectedness.

We were thrilled to share with you the Information Handbook 2025 for the Year 10 Immersion Program, Dear Future Self via MLC School app notification this week. The Information Handbook has also been uploaded under ‘important links’ on the Year 10 page in Omnia.

As you would have seen, the program is comprehensive and is designed to help your daughters reflect on their identity, set future goals and develop practical life skills. Please take the time to read through this information with your daughter as there are many moving parts and it is a jam-packed four weeks. Please see below the important dates and a summary of the steps that need to be completed.
