This week marks the half-way point through Term 3. Most of our year 12s are experiencing a slight lull in SACs, but we are encouraging them to maintain the momentum, keep up to date with their work, and ensure that regular study is still occurring at home. Year 11s should have all completed their course selections for next year in order for us to begin working on our 2025 timetable. A reminder that our wonderful Careers Team are more than happy to meet with students who have questions around their post secondary school options whatever pathway they are considering following.
Professional Learning Week
This week in lieu of our regular meetings staff have had the opportunity to engage in a variety of Professional Learning sessions designed to support MWSC’s AIP goals around Curriculum, Student Learning Growth, Numeracy, Literacy and implementing the Vocational Major. These sessions were run by Learning Specialists and Leading Teachers and help support our teachers continue to develop their skills and practices.
Year 10-11 Course Interviews
On Friday August 9 year 10 classes were canceled to allow students to meet with a staff member to complete their VCE course selection for 2025. The students were well prepared, and it was clear much consideration had gone into their choices. It was rewarding to hear students were making their choices based on subject enjoyment, requirements for possible university courses and the need to have a balanced course load. The day wouldn’t have run so smoothly without the support from many people, so a big thank you to everyone involved; Ms Jo Rogers, Mr James Johnston, Mr Andrew Morton, Mr Chris Bamford, Ms Sunita Sewani, Mr Tristan Dunkley, Ms Stephanie Xing, Mr Aayush Khosla, Mr Liam Wall, Ms Elizabeth Sutherland, Mr Wayne Griffin, Mr Phil Newnham, Ms Victoria Tortopidis, Ms Robyn Whitelaw, Mr James Glover, Ms Melissa Chapman, Mr Ian MacLeod, Mr Andrew Wallace, Ms Sarah Smith, Ms Yu Sun and Ms Vanessa Chong.
Year 12 PJ Day
In order to celebrate the half-way mark of Term 3 our year 12 students had their annual PJ Day. They were also provided with a pancake lunch cooked by the Year 11 leaders and supported by the senior subschool team and Trish Munday. It is always a fun day with the Year 12s gladly taking the opportunity to wear their comfiest sleepwear to school.
Uniform Shop Volunteers
Our school has been very fortunate to have a wonderful group of parent helpers who have managed the second-hand uniform shop over the past few years.
Many of their children graduate this year, and therefore we will see the end of their excellent contribution to our community. We are looking for a new energetic team of volunteers to take over the uniform shop. If you are interested, and would like more information, please complete this survey. No matter what amount of time you are able to contribute, we would love to hear from you.
