\"\"With many assessments underway, Elizabeth Gilberthorpe<\/strong> spoke with Year 7 this week about the importance of academic honesty as they continue their transition into Senior School. Year 7 were reminded that academic honesty means being truthful about their own work and demonstrating what they<\/em> know and can do. This helps teachers accurately understand their learning and provide the right support. At MLC School, Year 7 are expected to complete their own work, follow all assessment instructions, and ask teachers for clarification when unsure. Year 7 were also reminded not to copy from friends, share answers, use notes, devices or AI tools unless permitted, or allow someone else to complete work on their behalf.<\/p>\n

It was lovely to see so many Year 7 families at the Study Skills Session with Dr Prue Salter<\/strong> on Monday evening. It was wonderful watching parents and Year 7 talking together about study spaces at home, planning for homework and assessments, and navigating those busy after\u2011school timetables. Your willingness to engage in these conversations makes such a positive difference as Year 7 continue to find their rhythm in Senior School. Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership.<\/p>\n
