Year 11

The tempo of Term 1 has increased in pace this week. In Luminary the girls have focused on goal setting and the healthy study and lifestyle habits they want to grow this year. This was timely, as Year 11 were provided with schedules for their assessment block in Week 8, commencing on the 16 March 2020. Capitalising on the information and strategies provided to them over the past week, now is a great time for the girls to focus on planning for the term (and assessment block) ahead. However, as Year 11 need to remember, this is a long term and one which requires sustained effort and energy; something that they can only do with good sleep, healthy food, and regular exercise.

Living the message of standing up and showing leadership this term, four Year 11s ran a very successful sustainability-themed sausage sizzle on Wednesday at lunchtime. As part of their “Creativity, Activity and Service” class, Claudia Bean, Annika Lee, Isabella Lee and Tarindhi Fernando raised money for the recent NSW bushfires, whilst promoting sustainability tips. This Sunday 16 February 2020 marks the beginning of our family chapel services, with Prescott and Sutton Houses. As I noted at Parent-Teacher Information Evening, such activities provide a great opportunity for Year 11 to involve themselves and lead their community at MLC School, and it has been wonderful to hear that so many have embraced this.
