Head of Secondary
Mr Peter McLellan | Head of Secondary
This term is quickly coming to an end and it will mark the end of school for our current Year 12.
Even though this year has been different than any before because of COVID, our Year 12's have been well prepared for their HSC.
Please continue to keep them in your prayers. I found a link to encourage any students who feel they have left everything until the last moment. It has some very good information and ideas for the procrastinator and those who are in overload.
Follow this link for more information.
Year 12 Graduation
This is a reminder that Year 12 Graduation is coming up very quickly. Please put in your diaries the following details.
Location: MPC (Streamed live for Parents)
Date: Thursday, 24 September
Time: 9.30am
Graduation this year will be a streamed event with no parents in attendance at the College due to the current COVID restrictions in place.
Full formal uniform must be worn including a blazer. Correct shoes are needed and white ankle length socks for girls.
Year 11 New Drivers
Many Year 11 students are getting their licences which is opening up all new possibilities. However, before they start driving to school, they need to fill in their 2020 Student Driver Permission Form which they can obtain from Mr Lewis.
Please have a word to your Year 11 child indicating to them that there is an expectation that having a licence does not give them freedom to come and go during school time. They must be present in all classes.
