Cumberland Council Student Leader's Morning Tea

On Monday 31st May, two school captains attended the Cumberland Council Student Leader’s Morning Tea. This afforded the students the opportunity to engage in a mock council debate with other school leaders about a proposed skate park in the area. Shanil was chosen as the MHS representative to debate the merits of the proposed skate park. This positive experience was met with a refreshed attitude towards the local council and the decisions it needs to make for the constituents of its area. Mayset and Shanil were luckily enough to meet the mayor and gain inside information on the roles and responsibilities of being part of local council.

RAS Homework Centre

Every Thursday afternoon, students attend the RAS Homework Centre to access support for literacy, homework and assessment tasks. Ms Shadid and Ms Rowley work collaboratively with Western Sydney University Tutors, who volunteer their time to assist the students with developing their skills and knowledge. The tutors have provided individual and small group support in a range of Key Learning Areas. Our students have been appreciative and grateful for the tutors dedication toward assisting them with their learning and academic growth. Thank you to Western Sydney University for their continued support of the MHS RAS Homework Centre program.
