Year 7 Invictus Picnic
As part of this year's Year 7 Invictus Award, students participated in an environmental initiative: Waste-Free Lunches Week where students were encouraged to pack their lunches and snacks in reusable containers, limiting the use of disposable plastics and wrappers. On Wednesday, 19th November, students celebrated with a picnic lunch together during CareGroup time.

Week 8 Christmas Events
Mon 1st Dec - Christmas Chapel and Markets
Each year, we come together as a school to celebrate the birth of Jesus. It is a time spent remembering the good plan God has for us as He sent His one and only Son to dwell amongst us. Christmas Chapel will be followed by our Christmas Markets. Markets will be set up in the morning by our Primary and Secondary stall owners. We have many items for sale that our young people have created, designed and marketed. A handcrafted gift is a special way to show love to family and friends. Gifts will range from 50cents to $10, and Secondary students are to bring cash for their purchases.
Chapel Time: 10:00am
Dress: Christmas Mufti (students are to bring a gold coin donation for Compassion)
Markets: After Lunch
Bring: normal equipment for classes, with some lessons running as normal, recess, lunch, a hat, a drink bottle, cash for purchasing at the Christmas Markets.
Tues 2nd Dec - Presentation Day Assemblies
Our Secondary community will come together to celebrate their achievements for the year in our Secondary Presentation Assembly. Families are warmly invited to join us at this time.
Secondary School (Years 7 - 12)
Time: 9:30am - 11:00am
Location: The Lighthouse (MPC)
Dress: Formal Summer Uniform
Bring: Devices, card games, board games, sports equipment, recess, lunch, a hat, and a drink bottle.
Secondary students are welcome to leave school early on this day with their family, at the conclusion of the Primary Presentation at 1pm. If families are taking their children home, we ask that they be signed out at the Administration Office. If you would like your child to leave school with someone other than you as their parent, please email MCSstudentservices@acc.edu.au by 9am the morning of the presentation. Please be patient as we sign out multiple families at this time.
Wed 3rd Dec - Secondary Fun Day
Our Secondary Fun Day begins! Please see our Sentral Parent App for the location and plans for the different activities. Staff and Students will depart from MCS on buses at 9:30am and return to school approximately 2:30pm.
Wear: MCS Sports Uniform, sunshirt, hat, swimming bottoms (board shorts), enclosed footwear (can bring thongs/crocs/slides for the beach). Shirts and shorts must be worn when in and out of the water. Students may bring a change of clothes to wear at the beach so their school sports clothes remain dry for the trip home.
Bring: Towel, water bottle (multiple), food for recess, money for shop (ice blocks, cold drinks and lollies only)
The Secondary Staff will be blessing our young people by providing a hot chip lunch. We pray that our Secondary students enjoy the last school week of 2025 as we spend time together laughing, reflecting, celebrating and preparing to rest with family and friends.
