Year 10

DISCOVERING HER FUTURE, STRENGTHENING HERSELF.

Year 10 is a transformational year at MLC. It marks the beginning of the Senior Years journey — a time to explore strengths, deepen learning, build supportive relationships and begin shaping a purposeful future beyond school.

Through a carefully designed blend of academic challenge, wellbeing, Futures education, leadership, service and real-world experiences, Year 10 prepares each student to step confidently into the PURSUIT or STRIVE Pathway in Years 11 and 12.

WELLBEING, BELONGING & PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

As the second major transition point in high school, Year 10 is all about helping our girls grow into capable, self-aware young women.

Our InspireHER Wellbeing Framework for Year 10 focuses on:

• Consent and healthy relationships
• Cyber safety and digital citizenship
• Financial literacy
• Identity, strengths and character development
• Building a supportive and inclusive cohort culture
• Age-appropriate workshops and presentations with guest speakers and College psychologists
• Mentor–Mentee Time (MMT) to strengthen belonging and connection

These programs help students step into the later years of school with confidence, resilience and clarity.

CITY AFTER DARK

Offered in Term 2, the City After Dark program helps students navigate independent life beyond school.

Our 8-week specialist blocks give students insight into:

Science Rotation	HASS Rotation
Physics	Geography
Chemistry	Economics
Biology	Politics & Law
Earth & Space Science	Modern History
