Year 11
Congratulations to all our Year 11 students who completed HSC examinations this week in either Accelerated Mathematics Advanced or Accelerated Studies of Religion I. Completing an HSC course is a significant milestone, and it is a wonderful achievement to have done so in Year 11. I am sure these students will have many insights, tips and strategies to share with their peers as everyone approaches their first HSC or IB assessment task over the coming weeks.
Thank you to all the families who were able to join us on Wednesday evening for the Year 12 2027 HSC/IB Information Evening. The evening was designed not only to provide important administrative information, but also to offer guidance about how you can support your daughter at home to achieve her best and enjoy a positive final year at school. Please find the slides from the evening attached here. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me, David Posker-Hill, Director of Studies – Year 11 to Year 12, or Marianna Carlino, IB Coordinator.
This term we will officially celebrate all of Year 12 2027 at the Leadership Induction Ceremony. This will take place on Friday 6 November from 1.30pm. This is a special event that officially marks their transition into the senior leaders of the School and the beginning of their Year 12 journey. Attendance is compulsory for all students, and we hope many families will be able to join us to celebrate this important milestone. Please note this date in your diary.
It has also been lovely to see letters already being dropped off to Wendy Allen at the Front Office. As part of Year 11 Retreat, families are invited to write a letter to their daughter. Please place your letter in a sealed envelope with your daughter’s name and Luminary group clearly written on the front and place it in the collection box by Wednesday 4 November 2026.
Expression of Interest: Kindergarten to Year 12 Learning Enhancement Parent Focus Group
Parents and carers of students who engage with the Learning Enhancement Department for Academic Learning Support and High Potential Learning are warmly invited to participate in a Kindergarten–Year 12 Parent Focus Group this term. A session for each will be run in November.
The session will provide an opportunity for families to share their experiences of engaging with Learning Enhancement, including what has been helpful for their daughter and where there may be opportunities to further strengthen our support, communication and partnership with families.
Your perspectives are important to us and will help inform the ongoing development of Learning Enhancement at MLC School.
Please email s.dimitrelis@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au to express your interest in participating.
