Year 10
It has been a great start to Term 3, it always brings me such a joy to see the students return refreshed, energised, and ready to embrace the term ahead.
A huge thank you to our Year 10 students for consistently wearing their uniform with pride. I also want to thank you as parents and guardians for your ongoing support in this area. It’s often the small things – like wearing the uniform well – that reflect personal responsibility and strengthen our sense of community. I am proud to see Year 10 representing MLC School so positively each day.
The start of term is a great time to sit down with your daughter and set a focused academic or personal goal. The final assessment tasks for many subjects in Year 10 will take place this term. Some relevant goals that could help support a successful term and equip them for next year could include improving her organisation (are her notes in order? Is her OneDrive tidy? Is she regularly checking her school email?), developing consistent study habits, attending Study Help sessions, or starting early on assessment preparation. Even something as simple as writing weekly revision notes has a powerful impact on long-term retention and confidence.
I am proud to announce our first group of Year 10 Luminary Representatives! These students showed initiative by nominating themselves and were selected by their peers to represent their Luminary group. I am looking forward to seeing them take the lead in Year Meetings, within their Luminary time, and in building a cohesive Year 10 community.
Here are our Term 3 Luminary Representatives:
