Launch of MLC School Horizons Program – Year 7 to Year 8
This term, Year 7 and Year 8 students have embarked on the inaugural Horizons Program at MLC School, a High Potential program that embraces the challenge of ‘Dare To Be More.’ Inspired by university-style learning, participants have engaged in a rigorous academic exploration of Psychology through weekly deep dives into complex readings and Socratic dialogues.

Guided by a Princeton University textbook, students have examined foundational psychological theories and landmark experiments, including Classical and Operant Conditioning, Milgram’s obedience study, Asch’s conformity experiment, and Bandura’s iconic Bobo Doll study. Through these investigations, students are grappling with the profound tension between psychological insight and ethical responsibility.

By the end of the term, Horizons students will have critically explored the twentieth century’s most influential psychological theories and experiments – laying the groundwork for a lifelong curiosity about the human mind.

Thank you to our High Potential Learning Leader, James Adams, for your leadership of this program! 

Thank you Parents

Extending sincere appreciation to our parent community for their active participation in Term 4 Consultation and Collaboration conversations for students who require academic support and learning adjustments. Gaining insight into student strengths and challenges is essential for effective planning as the transition to a new grade begins. I commend the expertise and dedication of our Learning Enhancement Teachers, who have welcomed the opportunity to foster closer collaboration with our parent community.
