Helping Your Child Navigate a World of Worry
It's heartbreaking to see our kids struggling with anxiety. The statistics paint a stark picture: anxiety disorders are on the rise, affecting approximately one in seven primary school children and one in four adolescents. We see our kids burdened by fears and worries, their confidence fading, and sometimes even experiencing panic attacks. As parents, we desperately want to help but often feel lost or unsure of what to do.
Anxious: Helping Your Child Navigate a World of Worry offers a lifeline. In this presentation, Dr Justin Coulson will unpack what anxiety looks like in children and provide you with simple, practical strategies that are both clinically proven and easy to implement at home. Empower yourself with the knowledge and tools to support your child's emotional wellbeing and help them build resilience in the face of anxiety.

Supporting MCS Work Experience Students
We are so fortunate to be offering our Year 10 students an opportunity to enter the world of work through our Work Experience Program in Term 4, Week 6 & 7 (17th Nov- 28th Nov). We would love to extend an invitation to our wider MCS community to see if there is anyone who would like to partner with the school in offering a young person an opportunity to engage in a placement of Work Experience next term.
The focus of Work Experience is to provide our students with real life experiences in the working world, offering experiences beyond the scope of school.
If you would be interested or know of a local business who might be looking for such an opportunity, we would love to hear from you. Your consideration is greatly appreciated. Please contact Mrs Billet via email PenelopeBillett@acc.edu.au.
