\"\"Things are getting busy in Year 8! Last week our students had their first catch ups with their Year 12 Big Sisters. It\u2019s so enjoyable to watch the students interact in vertical friendships and participate in fun activities together. Year 8 will see their Big Sisters twice more this term.<\/p>\n

Year 8 also had Chapel this week. Pastor Luisa gave an engaging reflection on forgiveness with a really special message. Forgiving someone does not mean you agree with their behaviour. Granting forgiveness is about taking the bitterness out of your own heart and being compassionate. I think this reflection resonated with many of the Year 8s. Our Year 8 Chapel volunteers also spoke beautifully. Week 4 also saw Round Square Coordinator Henry Wijanto<\/strong> speak to the cohort about Round Square. I encourage you to speak to your daughter about this as there was some exciting information about the Ideals Society, baraza groups and upcoming student exchanges later in the year.<\/p>\n

Next Thursday is the Cadet Unit Establishment Parade. Year 8 have been spoken to about wearing an MLC School hat (cap, visor or bucket hat) for this event as it is out on the Sports Field where there is no shade. Please ensure you child is prepared for this and I thank you for your support here.<\/p>\n

Have a wonderful weekend and Week 5 ahead!<\/p>\n
