Year 7

The end of the holidays, and the start of a new term, can always be daunting and bring a few challenges. New routines, fewer sleep-ins, less time for ourselves, and so on. However, our Year 7 students seem to have faced this transition with the best attitude possible!

It has been wonderful to see Year 7 looking spick and span in their new winter uniforms. On Wednesday, Year 7 also showed so much enthusiasm by competing in races during the Senior School House Swimming Carnival, and dressing up in the colours and costumes of their Houses. We even saw some pirates! It was so joyful to see the positive way Year 7 approached the start of the term!

This term, the Year 7 Wellbeing program will focus on the MLC School Value of Courage. In part, this is to support Year 7 to prepare for the upcoming Adventure Camp in Week 7. To ensure that every student feels ready and excited to attend camp, we will also hold two camp briefing sessions during Luminary, where Year 7 will receive important information about camp and have the opportunity to ask questions. We hope that every Year 7 student will be able to grow on camp, and to build resilience.

You will have also received a notice via the MLC School App containing important information about the Year 7 Adventure Camp. Please ensure you read this information closely and complete the required forms and steps to provide permission for your daughter to attend this camp. Over the coming weeks, we will also be reaching out to families regarding individual support plans for students. Please contact Jack Rudd, Adventure and Immersions Coordinator, via email here, should you have any questions.

In the meantime, I am super busy learning all names and passions of all students in Year 7 as I prepare to take on the role of Acting Head of Year 7 when Emily Marsh goes on maternity leave. Will I be able to learn all names of all Year 7 students in a few weeks? The challenge is on, stay tuned!
