T4, Week 7

Primary Time Up

On Wednesday our Primary students enjoyed an exciting adventure as they visited the next year up. This event is designed to give our students experience in the year level that they will enter the following year. Students spent time with the current teachers of that year level in their classrooms and were also blessed to have new students who will be joining MCS next year join them. A great time was had by all and the students look forward to meeting their new classes in 2026.
