We look forward to welcoming students to Term 4. We trust you had a restful and relaxing term break with family fun time and much needed sleep ins. We hope that this term, with the warmer weather and longer days, is most fruitful for all students. I would like to congratulate the students on a smooth and positive start to this term and would like to draw your attention to a few items.
Uniform
This term we transition into the school summer uniform. Students had a two-week transition period which finished on Friday 18th October after which we expect all students to wear their full summer uniform to and from school. Please see our uniform policy located on the MWSC website for further clarification of appropriate uniform clothing items, shoes, jewelry and hair colour.
Mobile Phones
As per the Department’s policy, mobile phones should be kept in lockers throughout the duration of the school day. Students are expected to place their phone on silent and in their school bags upon entering the school gates. Their bags should be securely locked in the lockers and students can take their phones out once they have exited the school gates. We expect all our students to follow this expectation.
Lockers
Students should ensure that they lock their bags securely int heir lockers for the duration of the day upon their arrival. If there are any issues with student lockers or if students do not have a locker, they are to inform their sub school so that this can be resolved.
Term 4 Middle School Important Information and Dates
This term will be a short term with respect to 2024 course work due to Semester 2 exams. We encourage students to ensure they keep up to date with their course work and CAT’s.
