Year 8

It was really lovely to see so many of you on Friday evening at the Principal’s Welcome event and again on Monday at the Year 8 Parent Information Night. I hope that these events have continued to engage you in all aspects of the Senior School and have given you a good understanding of what is ahead for Year 8. 

On Monday 16 March 2026, the Year 7 Study Skills evening with Prue Salter is going to be held here at School. Your daughters would most likely have attended this with you last year. However, if you were unable to attend in 2025 or are new to MLC School in Year 8 this year, you are encouraged to save the date above. It is a parent/child event which is very helpful for Study Skills. On Monday of this week, Year 8 had an incursion with Prue Salter which runs as a follow up to the 2025 event. Year 8 have been given study skills booklets which we will utilise in our Academic Care sessions to continue our focus on organisation. The booklet is available on your daughter’s Luminary canvas page should she have misplaced it. 

Have a lovely weekend, and I look forward to seeing all the students back for Week 4!  

Learning Enhancement Department Update 

A reminder that if your daughter is actively engaged with the Learning Enhancement Department, please contact the Year 8 Case Manager in the first instance with any questions or clarifications. The Year 8 Case Manager for Academic Support is Penny Hewett. 

Getaway has commenced for 2026 in SC101 every day during lunch, staffed by members of the Learning Enhancement Department. Attendance is in the form of a drop-in and may be used as an opportunity to seek clarification about academic tasks or have some respite from the outside spaces. 

Enquires regarding High Potential Learning or general enquiries can be sent to the Learning Enhancement Department by emailing led@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au.
