Year 11

This week has been very much about looking ahead for Year 11, with a strong focus on future pathways and opportunities.

On Monday, Joanna Graffen, Head of Senior School, officially launched the 2027 Leadership process. Over the coming weeks, students will seek endorsement from selected teachers as part of their applications for leadership roles. At MLC School, we are fortunate to offer a wide range of leadership portfolios that cater to students’ diverse strengths, interests and skill sets.

Joanna spoke with the cohort about approaching this process with respect and consideration for one another. If your daughter is interested in exploring a leadership role in 2027, we strongly encourage her to put herself forward. Beyond the outcome, the application process itself offers valuable learning that will support her in many future endeavours beyond school. As always, your daughter’s Luminary teacher and I are available to support her should she have any questions throughout this process.

On Thursday, the Year 11 cohort attended the Careers Expo. I loved seeing the students engaging with the wide range of opportunities available to them. The Expo provided valuable insights into university pathways, workplaces and post-school options. I hope your daughter returned home with new ideas and conversations to share with you about her future.
