Johnny Furphy visits MC
It was wonderful to host alumnus and NBA draftee Johnny Furphy at the college last week. Johnny spent some time with the Y10 HPP class before sharing some of his story with the ASP student-athletes. After school, basketball enthusiasts from across the college were able to say hello and get a photo with Johnny.
We look forward to watching his development as an NBA player with the Indiana Pacers.
New Year 7+8 student toilets now open!
On Friday our student leaders officially opened the newly upgraded Year 7+8 toilets facilities. This project is a response to feedback from many students who nominated this part of the school as the most in need of improvement.
UPDATED RULES FOR STUDENT TOILETS
1. Y7+8 toilets are for Y7+8 students only
2. Two options for Y9-12 students: existing Y9+10 toilets and the external stadium toilets.
3. Students must wait for friends outside the toilet block – no “hanging out” or congregating in groups in toilets.
4. There can never be more than one student in a cubicle.
5. Food or drink must not be taken into the toilets at any time.

Vaping advice from Department of Education
Parents, carers, schools, and community all play an important role in protecting children and young people from, and educating them about, the harmful effects of smoking and vaping.
The Department of Education has developed resources to help families learn more about the health risks of smoking and vaping.
