Year 7 and 12 Fancy Dress 

On Friday 22 March, the Year 7s and 12s performed dance routines together to a theme, such as 'horror' or 'teen movie' . The Year 12s taught the dance routine to the Year 7s over a few lunchtimes in March.

 

Now this wasn’t just get up and dance session. No, it was a competition and the successful winners will  perform at the next College Assembly. The class will also receive fish and chips for lunch!  

 

All performers dressed up in their costume and danced their hearts out to win the prize and to be awarded the winners of the 2019 Fancy Dress competition! Congratulations goes to 7D who were crowned the winners. Their dance was very entertaining and everyone loved all the tricks and formations they did. It was very cool to watch. Well done!

Year 7 Camp

Early in term 1 the Year 7s packed our suitcases to go on a bumpy bus ride to camp Arrabri Lodge, Warburton East. We socialised and built new friendships, and overcome our fears in many enjoyable activities. We all learnt something new in this entertaining school camp. We learnt a fun, unique, energetic dance called the bush dance and learnt many fascinating things about it. There was also a cow named 'Milkshake'. He was convivial, but really noisy.

 

The teachers planned many fun captivating activities. One night we went on a bush walk. The following night we had a dance party. It was the time to share our hidden talents and awesome choreographed dance moves which cabin-mates devised together. Talking about our cabin, the beds were really cosy and comfortable not including the fact that it was infested with mozzies.

 

 We had a little fun with a get to know each other activity called the 'secret sister', when we wrote a letter to a student on the camp that we didn't know.  It was thrilling to know what the anonymous friend wrote about you. Throughout the camp we filled our stomachs with the camp’s healthy distinctive meals. We went gold digging in the river. It was refreshing. Some people accomplished finding gold, and some people enjoyed their time having a water fight.

 

There was a nerve racking time for the people who were nominating themselves for form captain roles. Congratulations and great job to the students who were successful.

 

The very last day was the time to say goodbye to our wonderful experience. To end our time there we had a very nice lady bring in cute, cuddly and scaly animals. She taught us many things and let us experience holding a snake.

 

Thank you for this unbelievable opportunity for the newbies starting high school this year.

Fancy Dress appreciation 

Thanks to all that contributed to the successful 2019 Fancy Dress event.

The Year 12 students arranged the music, choreography and rehearsals in the lead up to the competition. Each form performed brilliantly and the scores were incredibly close. Congratulations to the winners 7D and their action filled performance.

 

A huge thank you to the senior school team - Ms Clare Selir, Ms Tess Molina and Ms Sylvia Christopoulos, house captains, the Year 12 dance leaders and the judges - Ms Tess Molina, Ms Petra Witt and Ms Jessica Elloy. 

Uniform Matters 

A reminder that as we move into Term 2 and the weather begins to cool down, students are not permitted to wear any clothing items that are not part of the MGSC uniform. Items such as hoodies, wrong-coloured scarves and track pants that are not the MGSC track pants worn with the PE uniform will be confiscated for two weeks. Please take the opportunity over the holidays to ensure your daughter is prepared with all the uniform she requires for winter and all items are named. It is highly recommended that your daughter has a pair of the MGSC track pants for PE as otherwise she will be wearing shorts all day even in the cooler weather.
