I appreciate the first set of assessments are always challenging but it has been wonderful to hear from teachers that students were putting their best efforts in across the full range of tasks. If your daughter has any questions about their academic work, please encourage them to speak with their classroom teacher. <\/span><\/span><span class=\"eop\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph\"><span class=\"normaltextrun\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">During our assembly on Wednesday, <strong>Melissa Boyd <\/strong>(Deputy Principal) spoke about the need for students to ensure they are wearing the School\u2019s uniform correctly and proudly. Whilst I am always impressed by how Year 7 arrive to school each day, I have noticed a few hair accessories creeping in amongst the cohort. Students are not to wear claw clips at school, hair should be tied back neatly. Ribbons must either be the tri-colour ribbon, available through the uniform shop, or a plain navy-blue ribbon. Students are also reminded that their blazer must be their external garment when travelling to and from school (not the jumper). If on these cooler <\/span><\/span><span class=\"grame\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">mornings<\/span><\/span><span class=\"normaltextrun\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\"> students wish to wear their jumpers, they should also wear their blazers. <\/span><\/span><span class=\"eop\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph\"><span class=\"normaltextrun\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">The reminder of uniform is also timely given that when we return to school for Term 2, all students will be expected to be in full winter uniform. For some families it may be a good idea to start looking to purchase new items needed for the Winter Uniform and to check the sizing and fit of others (especially the length of the tunic). <\/span><\/span><span class=\"eop\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph\"><span class=\"normaltextrun\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Looking ahead to Week 10, the following was shared with Year 7 this week regarding an out of uniform day scheduled for <strong>Friday 5<\/strong><\/span><\/span><span class=\"normaltextrun\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><strong>\u00a0April<\/strong>:\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span class=\"eop\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph\"><span class=\"normaltextrun\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">MLC School will be celebrating Harmony Day on <strong>Friday<\/strong> <strong>5 April, <\/strong>Week 10<strong> (starting Tuesday 2 April)<\/strong>.
