Year 7

Well done to Year 7 for managing the first of two fairly academically intense weeks. Assessments are underway, and we did speak briefly at the end of last week about the importance of feedback, rather than marks. Year 7 is the very beginning of their high school journey and I am well aware that students are so keen to do well, which is a great quality. We have talked about managing expectations, and that high school is different to primary school. Learning is a process, is not linear and the aim is to keep building skills across the curriculum over the next four years, to be ready for their senior studies. I encourage you to also have these discussions at home, and please reach out to your daughters Luminary or class teach for guidance.

Year 7 had a lovely session with their Year 10 Peer Support Leaders on Thursday of this week. It’s fantastic to see the students fostering vertical connections within their House groups. The activities run in Peer Support are all about building connections, positive relationships and having fun whilst doing that!

Year 7 Study Skills with Dr Prue Salter

Monday 24 March 2025
6pm–7pm
Potts Hall

Year 7 parents/guardians and students are invited to attend this valuable study skills evening with Dr Prue Salter. The aim of the evening is to assist your child in starting their MLC School academic journey strongly, through equipping both parents in students with the tools required for success.

The information evening is most effective when parents and students attend together. Students must be in School uniform.

Dr Prue Salter will share her simple and powerful strategies to help students deal with the academic demands of school and achieve their personal best. RSVP here if you have not already done so.

We look forward to your attendance on the evening. 

Have a wonderful weekend and please reach out to your daughter’s Luminary or teachers if you have any questions.
