Year 11

The cohort have returned energised for their final year, sharing thoughtful reflections on their retreat and nominating new Luminary Representatives. Next week, I’ll introduce these leaders and outline their goals for supporting Year 12 in Term 4.

On Tuesday 21 October, Marianna Carlino, Director of E-Learning, provided an engaging refresher on digital safety, including the latest developments in Deepfakes. Building on last year’s session, students discussed how to critically evaluate online content and protect themselves in a digital world.

Prefect interviews began this week, and it’s been inspiring to hear students’ ideas for mentoring younger peers and modelling our School Values of Courage, Compassion, Growth, and Respect. I look forward to celebrating all our new leaders at the Induction Ceremony on Friday 7 November 2025, where every Year 12 student will be recognised for their contribution.

Thank you to everyone who attended the Year 11 Parent/Teacher Evening. We hope you found the discussions informative and collaborative. If you have further questions or missed the opportunity to meet with teachers, please don’t hesitate to reach out via email to them for follow up conversations.

Term 4 Consultation and Collaboration Meetings 

The Learning Enhancement Department is pleased to announce optional Term 4 Consultation and Collaboration meetings, conducted online via Teams. These sessions are designed to support your daughter’s transition to Year 12, discussing learning goals and review reasonable adjustments.

For some students, adjustments may include Disability Provisions, (upon application). Please be aware that any 2025 Year 11 student planning to apply for Disability Provisions in Year 12 is highly encouraged to have a parent or carer attend these collaborative planning meetings. 
 
If you did not receive an invitation to discuss your daughter’s engagement with the Learning Enhancement Department for Year 12 but wish to have a conversation, please email led@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au.
