Year 8

This week, Year 8 participated in a pastoral care session that focused on building positive and respectful relationships. The purpose of this session was to support students to reflect on what respectful relationships look, feel and sound like at MLC School.

Supported by their Luminary teachers, students created a ‘Recipe for a Respectful Relationship’ where they discussed what ingredients would need to be included in a respectful relationship, what method they would use to foster and nurture that relationship, and what ingredients they would not include.

Year 8 will continue to build on these discussions in their Luminary session next week, where they have been asked to create a short ‘how to’ video that will be shared with Year 7 2025 to help them understand how to demonstrate the MLC School Value of Respect in our school spaces. Many students in Year 8 shared with me that they are very much looking forward to the opportunity to lead by example and support Year 7 in their transition to high school.
