T3, Week 7
Uniform Notification
As we head into the warmer months MCS will now move into a shoulder period with our school uniform. Starting next Monday, 9th September students are permitted to wear either Summer or Winter MCS Uniform, depending on the weather. This will continue until the end of Term 3 with all students being expected to wear full Summer Uniform on the first day of Term 4. We continue to require students to wear the appropriate uniform for the day of the week as outlined in the 2024 Uniform Days document.
Please note that it is our expectation that students follow our approach to community through wearing the correct uniform well. Students who wear incorrect uniform without an email from a parent/guardian requesting their child be excused, on any particular day, will firstly receive a reminder, secondly receive a warning and finally receive a consequence for repeated non-compliance.
If an email from a parent/guardian is necessary, they should be sent to the child’s class teacher (Primary) and also to medowie@acc.edu.au (for all Primary and Secondary). Thank you for helping us maintain our uniform standard each day.
MCS 2025 Student Leadership Process
This year we have been blessed with some outstanding student leaders in both Primary and Secondary. These students have been exemplary role models in all areas from their relationship with God, service to the school community and their application to academic study. As we look toward 2025 we are beginning our process to select leaders for the year ahead. Each year we review this process and this year we have simplified the leadership tasks required from candidates and we will notify them of the success of their application sooner. The process to apply to be a 2025 Student Leader at MCS will begin during Term 3, Week 6 and will involve the following:

Houses Update
Today we celebrated another Full House Meeting. Across Terms 1 and 2 many of our house events involved sporting prowess. Recently though this has shifted as we explore other areas that our students excel in. Over the mid-year holiday break we ran a Reading Challenge with the Lions being crowned Champions. This week we celebrated the results from the Australian Mathematics Competition with the Rams scoring the most points in BOTH Primary and Secondary Competitions. Unfortunately the certificates for these students will most likely not arrive until next term. However we would particularly acknowledge the following students who were the top ranked students within their grade at MCS.
Primary Year 3 - Lilliahna G - Lions Year 4 - Georgiana B - Lions Year 5 (tied) - Max M - Rams Year 5 (tied) - Zachary S - Brumbies Year 6 - Amira I - Rams | Secondary Year 7 - Mia B - Rams Year 8 - Raphael I - Rams Year 9 - Simran G - Brumbies Year 10 - Zimriy I - Rams |
