Year 9 Camp

It was great to have the Year 9 cohort all together out at the YMCA Camp in Anglesea. Camp experiences leave such strong memories with students long after they have finished their schooling and we really value the benefit these experiences bring to our students.  Students participated in a range of activities that challenged them personally and also encouraged them to build their teamwork and leadership skills. Activities including a vertical challenge, raft building, high ropes, bush cooking and more. We were really impressed to see so many students pushing themselves outside their comfort zone and it was also great to have the year level be able to come together as one big group. Despite the fresh weather, the attitudes were very positive. Some of the Year 9 student leaders ran a trivia night for the year level which was very well received. A big thank you to all the MGSC staff who attended the camp and to Miss Amanda O’Hara and Ms Dolores Doran for their organisation and planning of the camp.

Year 10 Camp

We will be running our Year 10 camp to The Summit in Trafalgar in mid term 3. Information will be going home to families in the next few weeks. From past experiences, this has been one of the most fantastic camps we have attended as the year level bonds so well and really comes together as one big team as they approach different camp challenges and the famous dance off.

Year 10 Road Smart Incursion

Year 10 students have just been involved in a Road Smart incursion, informing them of how to be safe when driving or a passenger in a car, risks to look out for and tips on how to buy their first car. The incursion was very well received by the year level and we look forward to hearing of positive driving experiences as more and more students obtain their learners permits.

Course Counselling

A reminder for all Middle School families that course selection for 2019 will be in the first few weeks of Term 3 with information evenings for each year level in Week 2. Year 9 students have had an introduction to all the subjects on offer in 2019 in a presentation run by our subject domains. Year 10 students will have access to our VCE Expo in week 2 of next term, following the information night. All students will have access to course handbooks which provide an abundance of information on all the subjects on offer.
