College Registration

Last week, MCC successfully completed our five yearly College Registration. The registration process involves members of CEDWW and NESA inspecting College Curriculum Documents, College Policies and Protocols. I am pleased to say that MCC was commended on not only our compliance but also our Mission and Vision, Annual Improvement Plan, Student Wellbeing program and commitment to teaching and learning.

Trial Exams

Year 12 have successfully ‘survived’ their Trial Examinations. Students will finish on Monday with exams in Business Services, Mathematics Extension One and History Extension. The exams have been a learning curve for many students, reminding them of the importance of preparation and practice. Teachers are currently spending countless hours marking student responses and recording specific and constructive feedback to give their students clear direction to improve their results. I urge all students to spend time reflecting on not only their preparation and performance in the coming weeks, but also on the feedback given by their dedicated teachers.

Now is the time for Year 12 students to make appointments with their teachers and mentors in order to make the best possible plan to improve their learning and hence their results.

Year 10 Decision Making Process

Year 10 are in the middle of the subject selection process for 2020. The students participated in information sessions and workshops on Monday and along with Parents, attended an Information Evening on Tuesday.

I wish to commend Year 10 students on their mature and enthusiastic approach to this process. I urge them to make the most of their interview time slot during Monday’s Interview Day and to seek advice from appropriate sources.

Stage 6 Support Night

Our next series of Stage 6 Support Evenings will take place on Thursday 29th August 2019 at 6pm. These nights are essential for students in Year 11 and Year 12 in preparing for their end of year exams and preparing for university. I urge all parents and students to make a concerted effort to attend the evening to gain the valuable insight on offer.

Year 8 into Year 9 Subject Selection

Year 8 will also start their decision making process in coming weeks. The key dates are listed below:

Tuesday September 3rd

Year 8 into 9 Information Night 6pm Hall

Wednesday September 4th

Yours in learning,
