Term 3 Road Closure
To assist in preparing for the return of school in Term 3 we would like to advise of a road detour that will be in place and could affect the time it takes to travel to school. Port Stephens Council is undertaking road reconstruction and safety upgrades on a 1.8km section of Medowie Rd, Campvale and Williamtown between Nelson Bay Rd (RAAF base entry) and the Richardson Rd Roundabout.
The northbound section of this road is to be closed to all public traffic from Monday 21 July 2025 for approximately 12 weeks. Southbound traffic will not be detoured, but will have a speed reduction in place past the worksite.
For more information, please see the attached notification letter which explains the project and provides a map of the work location and detour.
Please also find project updates at this website.
CyberSafety Education Session
Protecting children in their digital worlds is an ever-evolving task for Australian families. Now more than ever, parents are looking for guidance in managing screen time and navigating the world of games and social media.
We are therefore pleased to help our parent community by offering a crucial and engaging education session with ySafe, Australia’s leading provider of online safety education. This session will be packed with practical, strategy-rich content that covers the most important points all families need to know about online safety. It will include key information about social media and gaming, screen time recommendations, and step-by-step instructions on how to set up a cyber safe home for children of all ages.
If you’ve ever struggled to get your children off their games and into bed, worried about the content of the games they play, or felt concerned that your child was spending too much time in the digital world, this workshop is for you!
This workshop will be held online for families on Wednesday 2nd July at 7pm via zoom using our link: Medowie Christian School Cyber Safety Registration Link.

Medowie Memories - Final Call!
To help us in our celebrations of 30 years of Christian Education here in Medowie we are inviting students, staff, families and our broader Medowie community to share any images you may have captured over the past 30 years. Our hope is to have a compilation photo montage of history to be played at one of our upcoming events to celebrate. If you have some photos to share please send them to MedowieMemories@acc.edu.au
