Celebrating and Recognizing the Vital Role of Education Support Staff

In the world of education, it’s often easy to focus on the work of teachers, administrators, and students. But there is a vital group of individuals whose contributions are sometimes overlooked – the Education Support staff. Today, we take a moment to celebrate and recognize the tireless dedication, hard work, and passion that Education Support staff bring to our schools, classrooms, and educational communities.

Education Support staff are the backbone of our educational environments. From inclusion aides, career practitioners, student wellbeing counsellors, mental health practitioners, kitchen assistant, Lab technician, IT technician and administrative staff, each role is essential to the smooth functioning of schools. They provide behind-the-scenes assistance, creating an atmosphere where learning can flourish.

Teachers, Principals, and other leadership staff often receive the most attention for their efforts. But none of this would be possible without the incredible work that Education Support staff do day in and day out. Behind every successful school day, there are countless unseen hands working to make the educational experience seamless.

To all the Education Support staff—whether you work directly with students or behind the scenes—we want to say thank you. Your commitment, care, and unwavering support make an immeasurable difference. You are an essential part of our educational family, and today, we celebrate you!

Let’s continue to recognize and honour the important work of our Education Support staff, who play an irreplaceable role in the success of our schools and the development of our future leaders.

Thankyou

Linda Stanton

Opportunities Galore at Mornington Secondary College

At Mornington Secondary College, we are proud to be the heart of our community — a school where opportunity, connection and learning thrive.

Our strong partnerships with local primary schools mean students enjoy early access to our exceptional facilities via their transition visits. Whether it's exploring science in our fully equipped laboratories, developing aquatic skills in our on-site indoor pool, or playing sport in our impressive three-court stadium, younger students are welcomed into our learning environment — and supported by our enthusiastic secondary students who love to help and mentor them.

Our commitment to opportunity continues well into secondary school. Every student is offered a rich and engaging curriculum, with opportunities for extension and challenge in every subject. Out of the classroom all students have access to a variety of on-site Squads and Clubs with dedicated coaches, with the scope of inter school representative competition. Students can also choose from a wide range of vocational education and training (VET) subjects, including Building and Construction and VET Beauty — all delivered on-site.

In our cutting-edge Technology wing, students work with the latest 3D printing equipment and excel in Systems Engineering — gaining practical skills that set them up for success in further study and employment.

Creative and performing arts are also a major part of life at Mornington Secondary College. Our thriving Visual Arts program, College Choir and annual College Production allow every student to shine and build confidence in a supportive environment.

With so many diverse opportunities on offer, every student can explore their interests and uncover new talents. Mornington Secondary College is a place where students grow, thrive and truly belong.

Have a great week

Senior School

To students and families of the Mornington Senior School,

Attendance Superstars so far in Term 2

I just wanted to acknowledge the students in Senior School who have had perfect attendance so far this term. It can be difficult for anyone to turn up day after day, even when we are getting paid, let alone when we have to turn up and complete difficult schoolwork, while juggling part-time work, study and sport. Attendance is one of the best predictors we have of student achievement. So kudos to the students below.

Year 10

Year 11

Year 12

Overdue work tasks

Unit 3 officially concludes on May 16th (today), so any Year 12 students (ATAR or VM) who have outstanding work due may be at risk of an ‘N’ at this stage for that subject. The Year 12 team have been working hard to speak with students about what they owe. There will be a small period permitted for students to attend support sessions to complete their work over the next week or so and I encourage all students to complete their work and pass the Unit 3 subjects. Without a Unit 3 pass in a subject, a student is automatically withdrawn from Unit 4 as students need sequences of Unit 3 and 4 subjects to qualify for their certificates in Year 12. Learning task completion status can be found in Compass under learning tasks.

Year 10 and 11 end of Unit 1/semester 1 approaching

Unit 1 will finish on June 6th this semester before the mid-year exam period and students will need to have completed all required coursework by then in order to receive a Unit 1 or Semester 1 ‘S’ result. The Year 10 and 11 teams, along with classroom teachers are working hard to follow up with students who have outstanding work and we’d love the assistance of our families at home to look at Compass learning tasks with their child or children to make sure all work is up-to-date. An ‘N’ result at this stage isn’t catastrophic (however, very concerning if it’s in English) but it may have an impact on the future pathway for students moving into Year 12 (or 11).

Growth!

Student Attitudes to School Survey will commence this week and we have been reflecting on how we will prepare our students for the event. Students, just like the rest of us, have pretty short term memories. We ride the highs and lows of the things which are happening to us right now. This got me to thinking about reflecting on the journey, where were we last year and what progress have we made; this might be a great family dinner table conversation. 

As I’ve been talking to students and asking them to reflect on the progress they have made in their learning and also into becoming a better person they all have a lot to say about how they have changed and grown. This is a thing to celebrate, it tells us ALL that we are doing a good job collectively developing our young people. 

So my encouragement this week is to ask you to have those conversations with your kids about how they have grown and maybe even that you are proud of them!

Year 11 Kaden Walton 

Kaden Walton was successful in his group’s Have a Say Day activity in 11VM Literacy, where he led the group to request another microwave and sandwich toaster for the Year 11 Common Room. 

His group came up with great justifications which included: queuing for too long and therefore not having time to eat, intimidation of some students with such a large group and making it more special for the Year 11s. 

Dr Keough, the leading teacher of Year 11 was convinced by his group’s arguments which will result in the purchase of those items. A great example of student voice in action!

Do it for Dolly Day

Do it For Dolly Day was a focus for our school community. Dolly’s Dream is an organisation that aims to raise awareness of youth mental health such as anxiety, depression, and in particular the impact bullying has on young people. 

At Breakfast Club on Friday 9th May smiley face pancakes were on offer and many of our staff wore a touch of blue. 

In Connect sessions students were shown Dolly's Dream video, allowing an open discussion around the impact of words online and how to seek help.

Cafe - Latte to School

On Thursday 14th May our staff were treated with the opportunity to purchase from the MSC Café ‘Latte to School’. Year 12 VCE VM students were confidently practicing their hospitality and customer service skills in a mock workplace. Mornings like these are amazing opportunities for our students to practice transferrable skills for their future.

House Cross Country Trials

On Monday 12th May the House Cross Country Trials were held around the school 2.7km cross country course during Period one and two. The weather was perfect for the races with blue skies, sunshine and no wind. 

The Year 7 races were held during period one with all Year 7 students taking part. The girls headed off first with the boys starting 5 minutes later. The competition was very strong with the top three girls only separated by a few seconds; Stella Dark took out first place with Jessica Matthews in second and Piper Davies in third place. The Year 7 boys’ race was won convincingly by Knox Wehner in an outstanding time of 9.09 with Hudson Wehner second and Jackson Edwards in third place. 

During Period two the Year 8-12 races were run as competitor only events. The combined age group race had 82 competitors. It was a crowded start, but the field dispersed very quickly with a lead pack rocketing away. 

The results of the age group races were as follows:

Congratulations to all our cross-country runners who challenged themselves against the course.

The school will be represented by a strong team on Thursday 22nd May at the Southern Peninsula Division Cross Country Championships to be held at the Hastings Foreshore Reserve. The course is very flat and fast but can be affected by the wind and wet grass through the centre in the last kilometre. Our school has done exceptionally well at all levels of cross country, so I look forward to reporting on their achievements in the next newsletter.

Year 11 Outdoor Education - Wakeboarding & High Ropes Adventure

The Year 11 Outdoor Education students recently hit the water (and the heights!) for an unforgettable day at the Cable Park, taking on both the high ropes course and the thrill of wakeboarding.

With the sun shining and conditions absolutely perfect, students zipped into their wetsuits and dived straight into the action. Many started on kneeboards, quickly gaining confidence and graduating to full wakeboards in no time. There was no shortage of spills, thrills, and laughs along the way!

Special shoutout to Mr Williams, who couldn’t help but show off his skills on the water—much to the amusement (and motivation) of the students, who rose to the challenge with enthusiasm and competitive spirit. Soon enough, some absolute legends were out there attempting jumps and pushing their limits.

Whether it was conquering the nerve-wracking take-off from the ramp, mastering those tricky corners, or shaking off a wipe-out after a missed landing, every student showed resilience, determination, and a whole lot of grit. It was awesome to see such progress throughout the day!

Big thanks to Mr Williams for organising the excursion and to Mrs Nicholls for not only driving the bus but also bravely taking to the water in a spirited (yet slightly less successful) attempt to outshine Mr Williams—A+ for effort!

All in all, an epic day of outdoor fun, challenge, and unforgettable memories!

Year 12 Literature Students Engage with Playwright Joanna Murray-Smith

Last month, the Year 12 Literature class at Mornington Secondary College had the exceptional opportunity to engage in a live Google Meet Q&A with acclaimed Australian playwright Joanna Murray-Smith, focusing on her powerful play Berlin.

Murray-Smith, who grew up in nearby Mount Eliza, generously shared insights into the development of the work, which explores complex themes such as historical responsibility, intergenerational trauma, and philosophical debates around free will—drawing particularly on the ideas of philosopher Thomas Nagel. With carefully prepared questions, students were able to participate in a rich conversation that has deepened their understanding of the text and supported their analytical writing.

Among many topics, Murray-Smith spoke movingly about the influence of her mother, Nita Murray-Smith, a Jewish refugee who arrived in Australia during the Second World War. Nita’s personal history significantly informed elements of Berlin, offering students a meaningful perspective on the relationship between lived experience and literary creation.

In a particularly poignant connection, Nita was herself an English and History teacher at Mornington Secondary College in the 1970s, and later at Toorak College Mount Eliza. She passed away in 2013, but her legacy lives on—both through her daughter’s writing and the many students she inspired.

The session offered students a rare and enriching glimpse into this contemporary Australian play featured in the VCE Literature curriculum. It was a memorable and inspiring experience that will continue to shape their engagement with Berlin throughout the year.

Senior Girls Basketball

What a season it’s been for our Senior Girls' Basketball Teams!

Our Year 11 team had a fantastic run—claiming two strong wins and narrowly missing a third in a heartbreaker against our most competitive rivals. A last-second foul and two free throws on the buzzer made it a tough loss to swallow, but the girls played with heart and determination. Huge congratulations to our captain Indigo McGrath, who led the team with strength and spirit. Madi Hawkins dominated the rebounds, while Mia Muccignat nailed some impressive shots. The team showed grit, teamwork, and plenty of laughs along the way.

Our Year 12 team may have hinted that netball is their sport of choice, but they still gave every game a massive crack! Their final match was a standout—fierce, close, and full of energy, with every player getting a goal on the scoreboard. The improvement in dribbling and shooting across the day was clear, but the real highlight? More smiles and laughs than any other team we played!

A huge thank you to Kobi Lawson and Miss Nicholls for coaching and supporting the teams throughout the day. We’re incredibly proud of all the girls—well done on a brilliant season!

Senior Boys Basketball

Well done to Senior Boys Basketball A Team who fought hard on Tuesday 13th May to win 3 games, only losing once to Dromana. The first nail biting game involved Mornington winning right at the end of the game with free throws!

Team B had some tough matches but managed to win 2 games showing great teamwork all around.

Junior Rangers

On Wednesday 14th May our Junior Rangers went on a bush walk where they saw lots of wallabies and kangaroos. During the session the students set up a camera to capture bandicoots, wallabies, kangaroos and any other bush animals. Afterwards our Junior Rangers enjoyed morning tea, decorated possum pelts and planted native plants in garden beds.

Head Start

Head Start is a program of support for School Based Apprentices and Trainees (SBATs) which is available across all Victorian government secondary schools. Head Start school-based staff support students completing their SBAT and engage regularly with the employer, school, RTO and other stakeholders. SBATs offer students the option of combining:

• part-time employment
• school, and 
• training.

An SBAT runs under a training contract between a student and an employer. The SBAT training leads to the completion of a nationally recognised VET qualification.

Apprenticeships are available to secondary school students who are over 15 years old and enrolled in Years 10, 11 or 12 in their chosen pathway (VCE, VCE VM or VPC). It involves students completing paid on-the-job training with an employer while attending training with their Registered Training Organisation (RTO) and completing their Senior School Certificate. 

Traineeships involve structured training arrangements of usually 1 to 2 years’ duration which combine paid employment and off-the-job training with an RTO. Traineeships are available in various vocational areas and cover a much wider range of occupations than apprenticeships.

Students can join the Head Start program by talking to their school’s career practitioner, who will connect them with their Head Start Coordinator. Before students are formally signed into an SBAT, the Head Start program will support them to complete a workplace trial to make sure the student, their parents, their school and the employer are confident the placement is suitable and best supports their chosen pathway.

For further information on the Head Start program, please visit: http://www.vic.gov.au/headstart or speak to your Head Start Coordinator, Bek Mantell.
