A message from Port Stephens Coaches


Port Stephens Coaches has sent the following message to our school community:


"We are aware that the current vehicle capacity on the MCS Stroud bus service has at times been insufficient to accommodate all students wishing to travel, and we fully understand the frustration and inconvenience this situation has caused families and the school community. Please be assured that we take this matter seriously and are actively working toward a solution.


We are currently in discussions with Transport for NSW to secure approval for a larger capacity vehicle to operate on this service. Our goal is to ensure all students are able to travel safely and reliably to and from school without disruption. While this process requires external approval and can take some time, we are continuing to push for a resolution as quickly as possible.


We appreciate the parents & school’s understanding and cooperation while we work through this matter and remain committed to finding a timely solution for the benefit of students and families."



Uniform Days 


We are proud of the MCS uniform and the way our students wear it each day. Through the design of the timetable a range of learning activities have now been scheduled across each week. For some of these learning activities the Formal Uniform is most appropriate and for others the Sports Uniform is preferred. 


Please see attached the 2026 Uniform Days schedule to help you and your children be organised and ready each day.



A Very Howie Welcome to 2026
