Year 10

It has been a great first week welcoming Year 10 back for the final term of the year. Term 4 is particularly exciting term for Year 10 with their four-week Immersion Program on the horizon. You will shortly receive detailed information from Sarah Jauncey (Director of Experiential Learning) regarding the Year 10 Four-Week Immersion Program.

A lot of effort and thought has gone into creating something truly memorable that will support your daughters as they transition into Year 11 next year. I am genuinely excited to see their growth over the coming term. There will be many new challenges and opportunities, some may push them out of their comfort zones, but this is an integral part of their learning and development as whole individuals. We encourage them to embrace these moments and grow through them.

This week, Year 10 were the most senior year group on campus, with our Year 12s beginning their HSC or studying for their IB, and Year 11 away on retreat. I think some of our students are still in disbelief as they step into their new role as Senior students, it’s a big milestone and one they should be proud of. One of the great supports offered to our Senior students is the Study Hub, which is now available to Year 10 in Term 4. Study Hub takes place Monday – Thursday 3.30pm to 6pm on Level 3 of the Senior Centre.

What is Study Hub?

• A free after-hours study space exclusively for Year 11 and Year 12 students (now open to Year 10).
• A quiet and supportive environment to concentrate on studies, complete assessments, and prepare for exams.
• Supervised by teachers across a range of subject areas.

Lastly, our Year 10s participated in so many exciting opportunities over the holidays. In particular, it has been wonderful to hear about students’ experiences on the MLC School Music Tour to Europe, as well as our two Year 10 students, Meena Kanthathas and Angelina Xu who attended the Round Square Conference in Dubai. How lucky we are to have such a diverse range of opportunities available here at MLC School. These experiences enrich their learning and broaden their perspectives in truly meaningful ways.

As always if you need any support throughout the term please do not hesitate to contact me or your daughter’s Luminary.

Head of Year 10
