Stage 2 Sydney Explorer Excursion


Stage 2 participated in an exciting excursion to Sydney last Friday. As part of their Integrated unit they visited the Quarantine Station in Manly and the Maritime Museum at Darling Harbour. The students particularly enjoyed exploring the replica of the Endeavour and inquired into life in the early Colony of NSW for first settlers and convicts. They were fortunate to have beautiful weather and enjoyed a lovely picnic lunch at Manly.

HRIS Stage 2 Soccer


Congratulations to all our students who represented MCS in the HRIS Stage 2 Soccer Tournament on Thursday. A great day was had by all and it was exciting to see the students using the gifts that God has given them on the Sport Field. It was also encouraging to hear that our team had a great win to end the day. A big thank you goes to Mr Parraga and Mrs Urra for coaching the team and supporting them on the day and to Ms Pietsch and Mr Hallett for convening the competition.
