Shop for Your School
Can you believe it?! We won! $25,000 to go towards the upgrade of our Paddock!
Thank you to all the students and their families who attended the announcement last Thursday at Pacific Epping. There certainly was a roller-coaster of emotions as third, then second then finally first place was announced!
It was wonderful to share the stage with our neighbours, Glowery Catholic Primary School and St. Catherine's Primary School.
We are so grateful to the whole SMCM community for getting behind us - for uploading receipts, spreading the word, doing extra shopping trips and of course, to the children for reminding their family members! We hope everyone enjoyed the fun over the period of the campaign.
Australia's Best Teachers Campaign
At the heart of each MACS’ school are teachers who create vibrant centres of learning – nurturing their students to grow academically, socially, emotionally and spiritually.
The Australia's Best Teachers campaign recognises exceptional educators in our school communities. An expert judging panel will shortlist nominations for recognition as one of Australia’s Top 50 Best Teachers, to be announced in The Herald-Sun and nationally in NewsCorp publications in July.
Do you know a teacher who brings something extraordinary to their classroom and community?
