Year 9

This week, students in Year 9 celebrated Earth Day by taking part a range of activities to raise awareness and take action for our planet. During Luminary, students turned off lights and technology to participate in Earth Hour. This was a great opportunity to engage in conversations about environmental issues and what students can do to make a difference. Year 9 Mooramoora students also assisted in the waste-free bake sale at lunchtime, with all proceeds going to the Australian Conservation Foundation. It was a fantastic event and all students who baked and sold goods are to be congratulated – I walked away with enough treats to feed the whole family!

Final Reminders – Year 9 Adventure Camp

This week, students in Year 9 who are attending the Adventure camp took part in an information session with Urban Challenge. During this session, they met their MLC School teacher leaders, found out their teams and other key information. Within their teams, students were allocated various roles such as leader, navigator, treasurer, journo, photographer, task master etc. It is going to be a fantastic opportunity for all students to work as a team, take responsibility for a broad range of decisions and functions, and to have an exciting, fun adventure in Sydney!

A recommended equipment list can be found on the Urban Challenge website. Please note that:

• Gear should be packed in a backpack (the MLC School backpack or rucksack of similar size). Shoulder bags and suitcases are not It is important to pack minimal gear as students will be carrying their backpack each day throughout the challenge.
• Linen, pillow cases and blankets are supplied.
• Students are not required to bring a towel – Urban Challenge will supply a pack towel for all participants.
• Students are not permitted to bring their phones or other electronic devices on this camp.

A final reminder that any medication that your daughter needs to bring must be given to the MLC School Health Centre. Medication must be clearly labelled in a zip lock bag with dosage instructions and be accompanied by a medication authority form. All S4 and S8 medication must be in a webster pack from the pharmacy.
