T2, Week 2
Happy Mother’s Day to all our MCS mums, grandmothers and special family friends! We thank you for all that you do to build into the lives of our students. They are so blessed to have such dedicated and self sacrificial family members taking good care of them. We pray that you will enjoy a lovely day on Sunday with your families and that you are spoiled as you so truly deserve. We loved spending time with you and celebrating you at the Mother’s Day Breakfast this morning!
See the Whole School News for some photos of the Mother's Day Breakfast.
HRIS Cross Country
Congratulations to all our Primary students who competed in the HRIS Cross Country at Avondale College last Friday, 3rd May. Despite the wet and muddy conditions our students ran hard and did their very best honouring God with their gifts and talents of running. Thank you to Ms Nala, Mrs Fedder and Mr Keith for taking our students to this event and supporting them as they competed.
K-2 Infants Gymnastics Program
Kindergarten, Year 1 and Year 2 students will all be involved in a Gymnastics Program each Thursday that will run from Week 2 (Thursday 9th May) until Week 9 (Thursday 27th June) during Term 2.
Students will walk to and from the Overflow Church (beside MCS) for their Gymnastic sessions and will be instructed in the essential and correct skills by a qualified gymnastics coach to allow them to fully engage in the program to gain the most from their experiences.
The Term 2 Gymnastics Program is part of our Physical Education curriculum and all students are required to participate. No additional equipment is required by students and the cost is covered by MCS.
Yours in ‘terrific tumbling and judicious jumping’.
Mr B Allen
Infants Coordinator
Primary Assembly and Chapel
With the conclusion of the musical we will return to our usual cycle of Primary Chapel being held on Friday on odd weeks of the term and Primary Assembly being held on even weeks of the term. Primary Awards will be presented at Assembly to students who have performed in an outstanding way academically or have been serving the MCS Community, and classes will take it in turns to share some of the excellent work they have been doing in class with the rest of the school community. Parents are warmly invited to both Chapel and Assembly which will be held in The Lighthouse beginning at 2:15pm.
