Acting Principal News

Dear Parents, Carers, Students and Friends, 

The end of Term 3 is fast approaching and as always, the staff and students are busily living our Mission by demonstrating their continued commitment to living the faith, showing our care through active service, while maintaining a clear focus on our core business of learning. 

Year 12 are driving towards their final weeks at the College and are finishing off their final assessments and course work to ensure the successful completion of their Higher School Certificate. Our TAS Major works are now complete and our HSC Music students will be assessed early this week for their performances. Thanks go to our dedicated Creative Arts and TAS teams for overseeing the process and supporting our students through this process.

Year 12’s final week activities will give them an opportunity to celebrate as a year group while spending valuable time with their Pastoral Coordinators, both past and present, as well as the teachers that have contributed so much to their academic and personal success. This will culminate with their final assembly where the whole College community will farewell them in our usual style. I have spoken to the Yr 12 cohort to remind them of the importance of enjoying their final weeks at MCC by using these valuable weeks to finalise important content and revision and to spending time together as a group. 

Our Year 11 Wellbeing Committee embodied our focus on ‘Care’ by hosting our annual RU OK? Day Event. They facilitated relevant activities for our Year 7 students to highlight the importance of self care and for the need to regularly ‘check in’ with friends and family. These activities were supported by Homeroom activities across the College each day of the week to raise awareness and generate genuine conversations about mental health.

To finish, I would like to wish our Year 11 students all the best in their Preliminary examinations that will be held over the next fortnight. The students have been working hard with their teachers to prepare themselves. I have no doubt that their dedication and hard work will be rewarded. 

Best wishes for an enjoyable and safe week.

Mrs Lora Segrave
