Year 10

A big final week for Year 10 with subject selection, soccer finals, cadet parades, assemblies and Burn Bright.

The Burn Bright Spark experience was a highlight of the term for Year 10. The Spark program has been happening at MLC School for some years, and the girls always speak highly of the experience. The presenters were impressed by the level of engagement and commitment of the girls in all of the activities. The activities are interactive but also provide plenty of space for reflective discussions and it aims to foster a supportive environment where students can contribute positively to the MLC School community and work together as a group. The themes of Burn Bright include building respectful relationships, exploring self-identity and purpose, developing confidence, setting healthy boundaries and understanding the influence of media and their peers on the way they see themselves. Building resilience and social cohesion is the aim to provide a solid foundation for second semester and moving into senior years.

It was a great way to celebrate the end of term together and the girls formed a huge lunch circle on the Bird Bath Quad during the day. We look forward to following up on the themes raised in Burn Bright throughout the Luminary Program in Term 3. If you have any questions on the program, please reach out.

Round Square Week is also a great way to celebrate our diverse community and it’s a popular school wide event. Year 10 did a Round Square trivia event where Year 10 got to show their amazing knowledge of all things Round Square.

Wishing you and your families a safe and happy winter break. The girls have earned a break and I hope you all get a chance to rest and recuperate after a busy term.
