\"\"<\/a>Athletics Carnival<\/strong><\/p>\n

Year 10 enjoyed a wonderful day at the annual House Athletics Carnival on Tuesday. In perfect weather, students participated enthusiastically in cheering, the 200-metre race, shot put, long jump, high jump, turbo javelin and team-building activities. A particularly strong number competed in the 800 metres, earning valuable points for their Houses. Harlow Elsibai<\/strong> (Year 10) achieved a personal best in the high jump and competed alongside Veronica Pan<\/strong> (Year 10) in a nail-biting finish, with the whole year group cheering them on. Year 10 was recognised for demonstrating outstanding year-group spirit, and it was wonderful to see students encouraging one another throughout every event. This week\u2019s photographs feature students from Sutton and Abbeythorpe, as well as the beginning of the team-building activities. We are very proud of the students\u2019 participation, encouragement and House spirit.<\/p>\n

Overseas Study Tours<\/strong><\/p>\n

As the holiday break approaches, three groups of Year 10 students are preparing to travel overseas. History students will visit Germany and Italy; Art and Design students will travel to New Zealand; and Drama and Dance students will visit London and Paris. Each study tour will provide valuable opportunities to participate in workshops, visit significant cultural and historical sites, and engage with Indigenous cultures and traditional art. Families and carers are encouraged to remind students that they are ambassadors for MLC School while overseas and to support them in approaching these experiences with curiosity, responsibility and a willingness to contribute positively to their groups. We look forward to hearing about their experiences and seeing their photographs when they return.<\/p>\n

Farewell to Year 12<\/strong><\/p>\n

Week 9 marks the final week for Year 12. Year 10 students are looking forward to farewelling them at the Celebration Assembly. Some students will also have the special opportunity to see their older sisters graduate at the Valedictory Assembly, an especially meaningful occasion for their families. We look forward to celebrating these important milestones with the Year 10 community.<\/p>\n

Summer Uniform Reminder<\/strong><\/p>\n

The warmer weather means that the girls can wear their summer uniform. Please ensure that your daughter does not wear excessive makeup, knee length skirt, and the uniform code requires simple jewellery \u2013 a watch, necklaces must not be seen, and girls can have one earring only in each ear. Any variations on the uniform require a uniform pass from the Head of Year office.<\/p>\n

If you have an academic question or concern, please contact your daughter\u2019s class teacher. Please get in contact with me or your daughter\u2019s luminary for wellbeing and pastoral concerns. I am available Monday to Friday on 02 8741 9736 or sconnolly1@mlcsyd.nswe.du.au<\/a><\/p>\n
