Year 7

Year 7

Another busy week has flown by for our Year 7 girls, with school life back in full swing!

A special well done to Year 7 for being among the most consistent groups in following the new requirement to wear hats when outside during recess and lunch. It has been lovely to see the girls embracing this responsibility.

Over the past two weeks, the girls have reflected on the activities that have helped them feel connected at school. Highlights include spending time with their Year 11 Big Sisters, participating in the Athletics House Carnival and sharing their thoughts and opinions during circle activities. It is lovely to hear how these experiences have helped the girls feel connected to one another and to life at MLC School.

This week, the girls have also set goals for this term and for Year 8. Setting goals gives them something to work towards and provides opportunities to recognise and celebrate their progress along the way.

As assessments approach, I encourage each student to reach out to her class teachers if she has questions or needs support. Asking for help is a positive step towards feeling more confident and prepared.

Ms Stolzi’s challenges will continue, and it is wonderful to see the girls getting involved with such enthusiasm. Seeing their smiles is always a highlight of my week!

Finally, a gentle reminder to the girls to include others and celebrate the differences that make each of us unique. Every student has something valuable to contribute to our Year 7 community, and small acts of kindness can help everyone feel welcome and included.

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.
