Year 7

There is some change ahead for Year 7! There is a lot more detail about the social media delay in the Principal’s article in this issue, click here to read.

Also in this week’s newsletter you will find a virtual pinboard, developed by our Director of eLearning, Marianna Carlino, with up to date information outlining the details of this upcoming social media delay. Click here to view the pinboard.

The delay will directly impact students in Year 7 as they are under 16. It is important families begin to have discussions around the new laws and what that means for our students and what they view and interact with online. Information about the delay will also be discussed in Luminary time and in Year 7 Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE) this term. We encourage you to assist your daughters to develop resilience and to enact on the MLC School Values (Respect, Compassion, Courage and Growth). 

This week Year 7 had special guests come to present to the cohort. Stronger Together is the name of a service project between MLC School Year 8 students and Inner West Neighbourhood Aid. IWNA assist senior citizens in our local community by providing the opportunity for inter-generational interactions to improve health. Year 7 have been offered the opportunity to apply to be part of this service initiative in 2026. I’m looking forward to seeing the students be courageous and send in their applications.

Have a wonderful weekend and please reach out to your daughter’s Luminary or teachers if you have any questions.
