Year 11

Year 11

At our year meeting on Monday 18 August, Priscilla Quintana, IB Coordinator and Elisa Scala, Deputy Head of Senior School – Academic spoke to Year 11 about examination procedures, particularly around Illness/Misadventure. Please see details by clicking here if your daughter is unwell or there is a misadventure on the day of an examination.

Andrew Taylor, Deputy Head of Senior School – Wellbeing and Fiona Pow, Head of Students Year 10 toYear 12, then introduced the Prefect Leadership process at the same meeting. Students have been invited to apply to be an MLC School Prefect using an online form and those that were unsuccessful in obtaining a recent leadership interview are encouraged to apply. Future captains will be a prefect by default. Interviews for Prefect leadership will occur in Week 8 (week starting Monday 8 September 2025).

Leadership interviews finished up on Tuesday 19 August. Joannna Graffen, Head of Senior School, Melissa Boyd, Deputy Principal, Fiona Pow, Head of Students Year 10 to Year 12, Heads of Houses and myself have thoroughly enjoyed this time. The students have reflected upon their ideas on leadership, times of joy and challenges that they have experienced.

Year 11 Retreat

Please look out for the Year 11 Retreat camp note which will be posted via Omnia early next week. The students and teachers are looking forward to this special last year-group camp. Please reach out to me if you have any concerns regarding the camp. We will be in contact with some families in the coming weeks to provide supports in place for students with additional needs.

A reminder that the students would enjoy a short note from their parents to be opened during the Retreat alongside affirmations from their peers and teachers. You are welcome to email your note to your daughter to me by email here, alternatively if you would prefer it to be confidential, you can send an envelope to school with you daughter or drop your note to Main Reception, prior to the end of term.
