Year 9

As we reach the end of Week 4, it is hard to believe how quickly the term is progressing.

During Week 5 and Week 6, Year 9 students will have the opportunity to apply for a change of elective subjects. Students wishing to do so should collect a Change of Elective form from Elizabeth Gilberthorpe, Acting Director of Studies, Year 7 to Year 10. Completed forms must be signed by me and parents and carers. As students will remain in their chosen elective through to the end of Year 10, we strongly encourage students to give careful consideration to their decisions. Please note that all elective changes are subject to timetable availability.

This week, during our Year Meeting, students were introduced to the Cadet Camp and the Urban Challenge Camp. Both experiences offer valuable opportunities for challenge, personal growth and teamwork, and we are confident that students will benefit regardless of which camp they attend.

Information regarding the Urban Challenge Camp was shared with parents earlier this week. Please click here to view the letter which includes the Urban Challenge permission link.

You can also find the letter in the ‘news’ section on your Omnia Dashboard or by clicking on the Year 9 page in Omnia, here.

Families are asked to read this information carefully and ensure that permission and medical forms are completed by Friday 27 February. For students enrolled in Cadets, permission is to be provided through Consent2Go, which has been emailed directly to parents. Additional information for Cadet families is available on the MLCSACU Canvas page. Please ask your daughter to show you.

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.

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend.
