T4, Week 8


Year 6 Graduation


A huge congratulations goes to our Year 6 students who graduated from Primary School yesterday. MCS spent a lovely morning celebrating the growth of these students academically, socially and spiritually. It was fabulous to see so many of them use their gifts to worship God and celebrate the journey that they have taken in their education so far. We wish each one of them all of God’s blessings as they move into their Secondary education and are excited to see them grow to be the person God has created them to be.

Primary Celebration Day - Last Day of Term 4


What a wonderful year it has been! As a celebration of the birth of Christ as well as the growth and development of our students this year, the Primary Department will hold a fun day for all the Primary students. This will take place at school on Wednesday, 6th December with lots of exciting activities that will happen throughout the day. Each class will spend some time enjoying play on jumping castles and Stage 1, 2 and 3 will be involved in water activities on the oval. Lunch will be as normal for the day and in the afternoon the students will exchange 'Secret Santa' gifts and enjoy a Christmas movie together. The Secret Santa process will be organised by class teachers and each child will be asked to purchase a small treat and drink for their Secret Santa. This treat and drink will become the end of year class party and the students will enjoy these while watching their movie. Additional information about the Secret Santa process will be sent to families soon. In order for all children to feel loved and included we ask that students do not bring gifts for other children to school on this day. We do however encourage students to exchange Christmas cards with their friends. In order for the last day of school to be very special we also ask that candy canes and shared sweet treats not be brought to school before then.

2024 Primary Classes


As we approach the end of Term 4 many students and their families are beginning to think about class placements for 2024. The development of classes for the new year is a very large and complex task that is taken very seriously by our Primary staff. A great deal of prayer and discussion amongst the teaching staff goes into which class students are placed. In making these decisions we consider the needs of all students and aim to place each student with at least one friend so that they can begin the new school year feeling comfortable. We request that parents trust our professional judgement and know that we will carefully place their child where we believe their needs will be best met. We are blessed with a very professional and talented Primary teaching team and no matter what class your child is placed in you can be confident that they have a dedicated teacher and they will be ‘Well Known, Well Loved and Well Taught’. 2024 Primary classes will be communicated to parents during the week beginning 15th January, 2024 via the Parent Portal and email.

Thank you and Merry Christmas


I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our families for your support this year. Medowie Christian School is a beautiful community that I am delighted to be a part of and it is our families that make all the difference. May God bless each and every one of you as we celebrate Jesus’ birth over the Christmas break. I look forward to seeing all of you at the beginning of the 2024 Academic year.
