Year 11

This week in Luminary, Year 11 students spent time reviewing their Assessment Schedule and updating their calendars and to‑do lists. Students were encouraged to share their calendar at home and have it displayed somewhere visible.

We know that organisation is a key component of success. For many of our Year 11 students, this skill is still developing, particularly the effective use of the Outlook calendar, which will become increasingly important as students begin meeting more regularly with their teachers. This is a wonderful area where you as families can support your daughter, and I encourage you to keep checking in on how they are using their organisational tools and recording and managing their work.

There were some fantastic achievements across Year 11 this week. Madison Chantler (Year 11) had outstanding success at the NSW Metropolitan Age Championships last weekend, finishing as the third highest female point scorer overall. She has also qualified for both the 2026 Australian Age National and Australian Open National Swimming Championships, Well done Maddie!

We also celebrate Eleanor McKeough (Year 11), who has been invited to attend an award ceremony connected to a female mentoring program in cooking, led by Lyndey Milan. This amazing opportunity came about through her Work Experience placement last year, and we look forward to hearing more about this fantastic experience. 

Looking ahead, next Thursday 26 February we have the Cadet Unit Establishment Parade, which is a very important and special event for MLC School. All students must have an MLC School hat to wear at the parade. The hats must be MLC School hats, however, the hat may be an MLC School visor, cap, or bucket hat. If you could help in reminding your daughter to bring her hat for Thursday, that would be greatly appreciated.

MLC School is pleased to invite Year 10 and Year 11 students to apply to represent our community as delegates at the 2026 Round Square International Conference (RSIC) and/or the Post-Conference Tour. For more information, please refer to this article.
