Year 10

As we reach the halfway point of the term, it is encouraging to see Year 10 are still in great spirits and continuing to engage well in all aspects of MLC School life. This week, during their Luminary time, students focused on refining their goals for the term and were required to share them with their Luminary. It was inspiring to hear from so many students about their commitment to improving their study habits and academic performance this year.

In my discussions with Year 10, many of them mentioned that their primary goals are to develop better study routines at home and to start their assessments early. It is clear they recognise that proactive planning will help them manage their workload and ultimately achieve their best. This reflects a growing sense of responsibility and dedication towards their education, which is fantastic to see.

I also took the opportunity to remind Year 10 of the various support services available to support them in achieving their goals and as they move into their assessment period. Please encourage your daughter to attend Study Hub+, Maths, and English Clinics which provide valuable assistance, giving them extra support they might need to stay on track.

Additionally, this week, during their Academic Care session, David Posker-Hill, Academic Care Coordinator, spoke with Year 10 about the Science of Learning and shared insights into what makes effective study notes. Encouraging your daughter to write her study notes at the end of each week is a great goal and an important step in preparing for her senior studies. By establishing these strong study habits now, she will build solid revision strategies that will support her success in the years to come. If she ever needs any support in developing these skills, please encourage her to reach out to her Luminary or me.
