Year 11

Welcome to Week 3 in Year 11!

Luminary Time Discussion on Procrastination

During Luminary time this week, the Luminary Representatives led an insightful discussion on procrastination. Procrastination, the act of delaying or postponing tasks or decisions, often results in feelings of guilt, stress, and decreased productivity. While it is a common behaviour, it can be effectively managed with clear strategies. To overcome procrastination, consider breaking tasks into smaller, manageable steps, setting clear deadlines, prioritising tasks based on importance and urgency, eliminating distractions, and using tools such as to-do lists and timers to stay on track. Additionally, understanding the root causes of procrastination, whether they be fear of failure, perfectionism, or lack of motivation, can help in developing personalised approaches to address and mitigate this habit.

 Year 11 Chapel Service

This week, Year 11 students gathered in the Chapel for a service coordinated and run by Abbeythorpe. They did a fantastic job allocating readings and ensuring everyone participated. This week’s photo is of the fabulous Abbeythorpe girls.

Sydney Opera House Concert 

We also had our final rehearsal for the Sydney Opera House Concert. Please remember that the Sydney Opera House Concert is a compulsory school event, and full attendance is required. The Music Department, along with all students involved in the orchestra, ensembles, bands, and choir, have dedicated many hours to preparing for this concert. As Year 11 students will be the future leaders of MLC School, I am eager to see their support and encouragement for everyone involved in the concert. The best of luck to our performers, it is sure to be an amazing evening.
