The teachers and staff at MMCC are very excited to welcome back all of our Year 7 to 11 students as they return to their normal school timetable and face to face learning. Students are to be congratulated for the way in which they approached remote learning over Term 3 and 4 this year. Although we are heading closer to the end of the year, I want to encourage all students to remain diligent in their learning up to the end of Week 10.

Students should take advantage of the final weeks of the year to seek feedback from their teachers and to ask them questions in order to seek clarification for challenging areas of content or skill that arose during the period of remote learning. Skills and content that are addressed in subsequent years are built upon and rely on every students’ foundational knowledge and understanding from the years before.

Learning Catchphrases for each Year group

Currently under development is the establishment of a ‘learning catchphrase’ for each year group. This mantra will follow the year group through their secondary schooling as a source of motivation for students as they strive to reach their end goal, that being the completion of their HSC. I have commenced a process of collaboration with the Senior Learning Portfolio Captains as representatives of the student body and the Year Coordinators throughout this brainstorming process. A few weeks ago Year 7 were introduced their catchphrase. Progressively over the next few weeks the remaining year groups will be finalised and promoted also. Stay tuned for more information to come.
