Thank you to our families who have been making use of this service in the mornings and afternoons. It has been wonderful to see our new car line in operation. Below are the procedures around the use of this space and we ask for your continued partnership as we enhance this system for our community.

MCS Calendar for 2026
Please see attached the 2026 Term dates for your review and planning. The MCS Calendar is developed in collaboration with our Head Office at Christian Education Ministries and is a State based calendar for all ACC schools in NSW.
Helping Your Child Navigate a World of Worry
As part of our service and support of the families in our community, MCS has purchased a licence to Happy Families. This affords parents access to resources and live webinars led by Dr Justin Coulson as we consider some of the significant issues facing our children and youth today. These insights can help us as parents have more informed conversations with our children in a rapidly changing, highly technological society. Dr Couslon hosts a webinar once a term and MCS encourages all families to register as part of our lifelong learning as parents. The next session is coming soon, please see the details below.
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.
When: Wednesday 20th August 2025
Time: 7pm AEST
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.
