Welcome to Junior Secondary School It is a joy to work with your daughter as she transitions to secondary school. When students feel a sense of belonging to their school community, their academic, social and personal development flourishes and they begin to be able to develop the confidence, optimism and resilience to become world-ready women in Junior Secondary School. Our new Nicholas Learning Centre has been specifically built to optimise connections with peers and teachers in conjunction with the wonderful resources available throughout the College for Year 7 and 8 students. This handbook provides you with valuable information regarding Junior Secondary School procedures and a reference to assist you and your daughter in readying you for commencement at MLC. It can be used in conjunction with the other resources available online at mlc.vic.edu.au. Additional information regarding your daughter’s curriculum will be outlined at Information Evenings at the beginning of her commencement year. Developing a relationship with families is essential to building community and connectedness. In order to foster this communication please do not hesitate to contact us by phone, email or in person via the contact details in this booklet. If you are unsure about where to direct your query please contact the Junior Secondary School office as a starting point. I hope that 2021 is a great year and I look forward to welcoming you and your daughter to MLC’s Junior Secondary School. Ms Cathie Ireland Head of Junior Secondary School 5

Curriculum Junior Secondary School (Year 7 – 8) is the time where students are experiencing individual subjects, taught by specialist teachers, for the first time. Easy transition from primary school to this next level of learning is central; subjects are learned in the familiar environment of students’ Home Groups, with subjects such as Visual Art, Science and Music taught in specialist classrooms. Year 8 is also the first year students are able to begin choosing elective subjects. Subject variety is a hallmark of an MLC education. The College offers one of the most extensive and engaging Years 7 – 12 curriculum offerings of any Australian school. To find our more about curriculum and learning at MLC, click here.
