Year 11
Welcome back to Term 2! I hope you all had a relaxing and enjoyable break.
It feels a bit like déjà vu stepping into the role of Head of Year 11 this term, as I did the same at this time last year during Angela Renwick’s long service leave. It’s a pleasure to be working with this wonderful group of students again, and I’m already noticing the growth and maturity they’ve developed over the past year.
Term 2 is shaping up to be a busy and exciting one for Year 11, with key events such as the Opera House Concert and the launch of their leadership journey. During Luminary time, we’ll be focusing on the themes of compassion, growth, and leadership—core values that will guide and inspire students as they continue to develop both personally and collectively.
An opportunity from Strathfield Council – click here
At a recent 2025 Strathfield Council Youth Advisory Board (YAB) workshop attended by MLC School students, Mental Health was identified as the number one concern by participants, with academic pressure, social media, anxiety and bullying all emerging as key challenges.
To address this, Strathfield Council is partnering with batyr, ACU and other leading organisations to deliver a practical, engaging event for young people and their families.
MLC School students have the opportunity to attend and are invited to the Strathfield Council Wellbeing initiative ‘the Strathfield Council Youth Mental Health Forum’.
Tuesday 20 May 2025
6pm–9pm
Australian Catholic University, Strathfield Campus
Students wishing to attend should contact Andrew Taylor, Deputy Head of Senior School – Wellbeing, directly.
