Year 9

Whilst a short week, it’s still been a busy week for Year 9. Tuesday afternoon saw the students split into their groups for the upcoming Urban Challenge camp, and the Cadets head to a meeting with Xavier Maling to continue their preparation for their camp, also in Week 11 (Monday 8 April 2024). With camps come challenges, and these challenges are different for everyone. Preparing for camps leads us as educators and parents to many teachable moments, sometimes unexpected. I encourage you to take these moments on and discuss the benefits of having a growth mindset and being resilient.

So many great experiences can come from places of challenge, and I am really looking forward to seeing Year 9 embody the school values of growth and courage as they embark on their camps. 

Please ensure medical and dietary forms are completed for any camps as a matter of urgency. If your child is required to take medications whilst on camp, please also follow the instructions below: 

Any medication that your child needs to bring should be given to the MLC Health Centre by Tuesday 26 March 2024. Medication must be clearly labelled in a ziplock bag with dosage instructions. A Medication Authority form may be required and can be found on the original camp information email. Any new medication that is not stated on the medical forms will require a letter explaining why it is required and instructions for administration. All S4 and S8 medication (usually for anxiety, depression, ADHD etc) must be in a webster pack from the pharmacy. Please note this will take the pharmacy several days to prepare.   

 I hope that all of you are able to relax over the Easter long weekend, I look forward to everyone being back on deck for our last week of school classes for Term 1!
