This week, we have been marking National Reconciliation Week. National Sorry Day, observed on 26 May, provides an important opportunity to acknowledge the Stolen Generations and honour Survivors. National Reconciliation Week runs from 27 May to 3 June, and this year\u2019s theme, All In,<\/em> invites all Australians to reflect on our shared histories, cultures and achievements, and to consider how each of us can contribute to reconciliation in Australia. During Chapel on Tuesday, we had the pleasure of watching our first MLC School Indigenous Dance group perform as part of these celebrations. It was a very special moment to see these students embracing and celebrating their culture with such pride, and it was warmly received by all who were present.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Year 9 attended a presentation delivered by Marianna Carlino,<\/strong> Director of eLearning. The session explored how young people\u2019s digital reputations are shaped by their online behaviour, including what they post, share, and how they interact with others. It addressed the risks associated with negative content, misinformation, and online impersonation, such as fake profiles and scams, while also emphasising the importance of consent in digital spaces. Importantly, the presentation encouraged students to reflect carefully on their online choices and highlighted the potential emotional and social effects of negative digital experiences, reminding them that support is always available when needed.<\/p>\n

During Luminary time on Thursday, students further explored the concept of a digital footprint and considered case studies involving individuals who had experienced significant consequences as a result of their online presence. These examples included missing out on employment opportunities and public figures losing sponsorship endorsements, reinforcing the importance of thoughtful and responsible engagement online. It was encouraging to see students engaging thoughtfully with these discussions and beginning to recognise the lasting impact that their online choices can have.<\/p>\n
