It\u2019s been a busy week with assessment tasks, including Science, English and Languages. In a busy week, there are still times for reflection and quiet time. For academic care this week, the girls were happy to have to use the time for private study and revision. During Chapel, Pastor Luisa Bland emphasised the need for regular reflection and time to contemplate the Lenten message of gratitude and peace.<\/p>\n
A reminder that if your daughter is unable to attend an assessment, an Illness\/Misdventure or Extension application must be made on Omnia. A doctor\u2019s certificate dated for the day of the assessment with a specific reason for the absence must be included. The application is processed by our Director of Studies Year 7- Year 10, Elizabeth Gilberthorpe.<\/strong><\/p>\n Week 9 is dedicated to Careers and Academic Pathways. Jo Cilia<\/strong> and Nicole Massara<\/strong> will be presenting at our year meeting and providing details on the Work Experience Programme. We are encouraging Year 10 to start looking now for placements available in Term 4, when the programme takes place.<\/p>\n Uniform: as the weather cools down, please have a look at your daughter\u2019s winter uniform \u2013 our uniform shop is available for appointments and fittings. Details can be found here.<\/a><\/p>\n Year 10 have done a great job in wearing appropriate earrings, but we are still reminding girls about skirt lengths, makeup and necklaces. Your support in keeping Year 10 looking their best in the senior uniform is greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n If you have an academic concern, please contact your daughter\u2019s class teacher. For wellbeing and pastoral concerns, your daughter\u2019s luminary and I are available for support. I am available Monday to Friday on 02 8741 9736 or sconnolly1@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au<\/a> for meetings on site, Teams or a phone call.<\/p>\n
