Year 10
It was great to see the Year 10 community on site yesterday for the parent teacher interviews and subject selection discussion. We hope you found the discussions productive and that you found some new insights into your daughter’s learning and their life at school. Learning is a holistic path, and we aim to provide support for all of your daughter’s needs in senior school.
Year 10 Leawarra lead our House chapel service this week and they did a great job with the presentations and readings. The theme of Reverend Vinnie’s service was: ‘Choosing Your Path – Listening for God in Big Decisions’. Here are a couple of excerpts from the service for the girls to reflect on.
‘What Makes a Decision Big’: it is a decision that affects your future, involves uncertainty and it carries pressure from others – or yourself. Maybe you’re choosing subjects, friendships, priorities, or even deciding what kind of person you want to be. But here’s something important: Big decisions aren’t just about what you choose – they are also about who you are becoming”. Reverend Vinnie emphasised to the girls to listen to their instincts about what really matters to them and reassured them that they don’t have to make the decision alone; they have their parents, teachers, trusted friends and our team at school to help and guide. Our values at MLC School are: Respect, Compassion, Integrity, Courage and Growth – the best decisions will always reflect these values.
Teacher Appreciation Week is a big hit in the MLC School calendar and Year 10 completed their messages to teachers this week. Week 8 was also an opportunity to connect with Year 7 again for Peer Support – something both year groups love doing.
We’re looking forward to the Subject Selection Expo this (Friday) afternoon and to meeting with parents in the interviews on Monday 22 June and Tuesday 23 June (Week 10).
If you have an academic concern about your daughter’s learning, please reach out to their class teacher. For wellbeing and pastoral concerns, I am available Monday to Friday on 02 8741 9736, email on sconnolly1@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au and on site for meetings and discussions.
Students are preparing for work experience and are encouraged to use the Futures and Pathways Intranet to find and apply early for placements, as new opportunities are regularly added. You can read more about this here.
