T4, Week 3
Year 7 Immersion Day
Congratulations to our incoming Year 7 for 2025! On Wednesday this week we were blessed to host our Year 6 students for an immersion day into Secondary. New students and current MCS students embraced the day and tackled their nerves - and they did it with fun, grace and kindness.
Our House Leaders led the day, guiding Year 7 2025 when introducing themselves, settling in and learning not to take ourselves too seriously as they danced up a storm together - I think there may have even been some moon walking!
As the morning progressed the students made new friends, laughed together and we found out lots about each other. The jury is still out on whether we should have pineapple on pizza or not! But KFC was a definite winner against McDonalds.
Mr Weeks came along and was placed in the Hot Seat as we learnt about his hobbies, favourite foods and the things he loves about Secondary school (including those things that may challenge us).
The middle session was full of new learning experiences as we completed lessons in Maths, Science and Technology, learning how to navigate and find different rooms across the Secondary school.

Lunch was cooked, prepared and served by our Year 10 students who did an outstanding job at creating a real family moment where we sat together, shared a meal and got to know each other more.
In the afternoon we enjoyed some sport - Badminton, N ball and Capture the Flag were the favourites.
Kickstart Opportunity
Year 12 (2025) have a great opportunity to attend a set of free seminars designed to handle stress and motivate students as they begin their HSC studies.
The agenda includes:
Practical tips to handle stress & motivation
Tried-and-true strategies to nail your HSC
HSC English help on how to achieve your best this year
A straightforward guide to understanding the ATAR
For parents, there will also be practical tips on how to support your child through the HSC.
Why your children will love these sessions:
Real Insights: Direct, actionable advice. In these 45-min sessions, the best study strategies, exam techniques, and ways to stay on track during your HSC year/s will be shared.
Wisdom from the Experts: These seminars feature expert HSC Markers and qualified counsellors ready to share their tips and years of experience.
HSC Examinations
Year 12 continued to show dedication and determination as they completed their third week of HSC exams. Next week is their final week and we wish them all the very best as they finish their journey together.
Uniform
We have made some small changes to Uniform Days for Term 4. Please see the Uniform Days updated document detailing these changes.
