The supportive atmosphere across the cohort has been great to see and it&#8217;s wonderful to see everyone striving to achieve their best as they sit their exams. A reminder that students are to be in full school uniform for their exams (this includes making use of their school bags only). If students wish to study at school between their exams, they can do so on Level 3 of the Senior Centre but should ensure they have signed in through the Studies Office.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>One week of exams down\u2026 one week to go!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Year 12 students participated in a morning organised by their Year 8 Little Sisters. Each House group prepared arts and crafts, games, or lots of sugary treats to wish them well for their upcoming examinations. Thank you Year 8 for ensuring the Year 12s had some fun with you all!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Over the weekend, our Year 12 rowers competed at the Head of the River. Congratulations are in order for the girls for another instance of their continued dedication to the sport and their shared enthusiasm for supporting each other and the rest of the squad. Well done girls!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Crystal Huang<\/strong> and <strong>Serena Farley<\/strong> represented MLC School at Tildesley Tennis this week. Joanna Graffen, Head of Senior School, shared with me that the girls supported and encouraged their team mates during their final Tildesley appearance, setting such a wonderful example to the Junior years!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m so amazed at how much the Year 12 students are balancing alongside this busy academic period! I\u2019m so proud of you all and hope you are all looking forward to a well deserved rest in the upcoming Easter break!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Important dates:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span role=\"presentation\"><b>Week 9, Term 1 (Monday 23 March \u2013 Friday 27 March):<\/b>\u00a0Year 12 Examination Block continues\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span role=\"presentation\"><b>Sunday 22 March:<\/b>\u00a0Lester and Churunga House Chapel Services\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span role=\"presentation\"><b>Week 10 (Sunday 29 March \u2013 Thursday 2 April): <\/b>AFX Annual Cadet Camp\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span role=\"presentation\"><b>Thursday 2 April:<\/b> Last day of Term 1, 2026\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"mailto:bkovats@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au\">&#8211; Bridget Kovats<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/em>Head of Year 12<\/p>\n<p><em>Click on gallery to view full images<\/em><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-44424 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2026\/03\/BSLS_Booralee.jpeg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2026\/03\/BSLS_Booralee-640x480.jpeg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2026\/03\/BSLS_Moora-2.jpeg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2026\/03\/BSLS_Moora-2-640x480.jpeg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2026\/03\/BSLS_Whitley-2.jpeg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2026\/03\/BSLS_Whitley-2-640x480.jpeg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congratulations to all of Year 12 for a positive start to their Half Yearly Examination block.
