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.

MLC and Junior Secondary School Handbook 2020 19Curriculum
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.
