There are many exciting things on the horizon for Year 10, including the DDE Tour to Europe and the History Tour to Germany and Italy, in the next holiday break.<\/p>\n<p>Year 10 students have continued their Peer Support work with Year 7, building positive relationships and helping younger students feel connected and confident in the Senior School. Through small-group activities and conversations, our Year 10 leaders are developing communication, empathy and teamwork while modelling the values of care, inclusion and responsibility. Our image this week is of Year 7 and Year 10 Abbeythorpe with Head of Abbeythorpe House \u2013 <strong>Jake Morrisey.<\/strong> Next week the girls will be working with Year 7 to discuss: \u2018<em>Bullying: No Way<\/em>\u2019 as part of RUOk? Day.<\/p>\n<p>As assessment commitments increase, students are encouraged to plan ahead, use feedback purposefully and stay as organised as possible. Families can support this by checking upcoming due dates on the assessment calendar, encouraging regular study rather than last-minute preparation, and protecting time for sleep, exercise and restorative activities. Please flag issues early and encourage your daughter to attend Study Hub Plus on Level 3 from Monday to Thursday and the subject clinics held at lunchtime in the Senior Centre.<\/p>\n<p>Please encourage your child to seek help early if they are unsure about a task or are finding their workload difficult to manage. If you have an academic concern, please contact your daughter\u2019s teacher. For pastoral and wellbeing concerns, please contact your daughter\u2019s luminary or me on <a href=\"mailto:sconnolly1@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au\">sconnolly1@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au<\/a> or on 02 8741 9736.
