We hope you found the discussions productive and that you found some new insights into your daughter\u2019s learning and their life at school. Learning is a holistic path, and we aim to provide support for all of your daughter\u2019s needs in senior school.<\/p>\n<p>Year 10 Leawarra lead our House chapel service this week and they did a great job with the presentations and readings. The theme of Reverend Vinnie\u2019s service was: &#8216;Choosing Your Path \u2013 Listening for God in Big Decisions&#8217;. Here are a couple of excerpts from the service for the girls to reflect on.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;What Makes a Decision <em>Big&#8217;<\/em>: it is a decision that affects your future, involves uncertainty and it carries pressure from others \u2013 or yourself. Maybe you\u2019re choosing subjects, friendships, priorities, or even deciding what kind of person you want to be. But here\u2019s something important: Big decisions aren\u2019t just about what you choose \u2013 they are also about who you are becoming\u201d. Reverend Vinnie emphasised to the girls to listen to their instincts about what really matters to them and reassured them that they don\u2019t have to make the decision alone; they have their parents, teachers, trusted friends and our team at school to help and guide. Our values at MLC School are: Respect, Compassion, Integrity, Courage and Growth \u2013 the best decisions will always reflect these values.<\/p>\n<p>Teacher Appreciation Week is a big hit in the MLC School calendar and Year 10 completed their messages to teachers this week. Week 8 was also an opportunity to connect with Year 7 again for Peer Support \u2013 something both year groups love doing.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re looking forward to the Subject Selection Expo this (Friday) afternoon and to meeting with parents in the interviews on <strong>Monday 22 June<\/strong> and <strong>Tuesday 23 June<\/strong> (Week 10).<\/p>\n<p>If you have an academic concern about your daughter\u2019s learning, please reach out to their class teacher.
