Wellbeing

Conflict is a natural and unavoidable part of family life. As children grow, differences in opinions, emotions and expectations can sometimes lead to tension at home, at school or with peers. While these moments can feel challenging, they also present valuable opportunities to teach young people important life skills. How conflict is managed within the family plays a key role in shaping a child’s ability to communicate, regulate emotions and navigate relationships.

For adult carers, supporting children through conflict means staying calm, listening with empathy and modelling respectful problem-solving. When handled constructively, conflict can strengthen relationships, build resilience and help children develop the confidence to manage disagreements in healthy and productive ways.

This edition of SchoolTV explores practical strategies to help families approach conflict with greater understanding and confidence.

Uniform Guidelines

All students are expected to wear regulation College Uniform whilst at and travelling to and from the College. All items of the uniform including the shoes, must always be kept clean and tidy. Students may wear any MMCRC uniform item commensurate with their timetable for that day.   The uniform is a twelve-month uniform, meaning that students may choose to wear a traditional summer or winter item as they prefer. 

In the morning homeroom the teacher in charge will identify uniform breaches that will be recorded on the SIMON student management system. Breaches fall under two categories. See below for more information.

Parents are asked to ensure black flared slacks and personal hoodies are not worn to the College on any given day.
