Academic Care Update

As part of MLC School’s Academic Care Program, we have continued to offer a range of activities and opportunities to support the girls in their learning as the term has progressed.

Here are some highlights of what each year group has been doing this term:

• Year 7: The girls have been working on an anti-littering campaign, where they are learning about film techniques, collaboration and editing skills. I look forward to seeing them produce some creative and persuasive videos to raise awareness about the environmental impact of littering.
• Year 8: The girls participated in truth telling sessions, where they shared their experiences and reflections on their immersion. These sessions aim to enhance their cultural awareness and understanding of First Nation’s Australians, particularly those from Wiradjuri Country.
• Year 9: The girls have been developing their digital literacy skills by building and designing their own websites. They have also been given some focused preparation time to help them manage their assessment load.
• Year 10: The girls were well informed about the Minimum Standards test in their Week 2 session. This week they attended a presentation on the basics of Deepfakes and AI. It is the first in a two-part series led by Marianna Carlino, Director of e-learning, ensuring they are well informed about the potential dangers of the emerging technology.
• Year 11: The girls have been attending a series of subject specific masterclasses, where they received expert guidance and feedback from their teacher. They also learned some effective study strategies and exam techniques to help them achieve their best.
• Year 12: The girls took advantage of the study sessions offered in Week 2 to enhance their preparation for their Trial Examinations.

As you can see, it has been a busy start to the term with the girls provided a broad opportunity to upskill in their academic awareness.
