From the Leader of Learning and Curriculum

The beginning of a new school year brings fresh energy, new opportunities, and the chance for every student to set strong foundations for their learning. As we begin 2026, our students here at MSCW have hit the ground running as they take part in a range of study skills workshops designed to assist in building effective routines, manage time, and approach learning with confidence and purpose. 

A key focus for 2026 is supporting students to become organised and responsible learners restless for excellence and the College Planner remains an essential tool in this process. We expect all students to be using the college planner every lesson, every day to record homework, track assessment deadlines, plan revision, and balance their commitments. Establishing these habits early helps students stay ahead rather than catch up. It is with this in mind that we ask parents to support the use of planners via regular check-ins with your daughter to establish and maintain this important organisational tool. 

Our expectations are clear; arrive on time each day ready to learn, engage fully in lessons, complete work to a high standard and seek help whenever needed. When students combine strong routines with high expectations, they set themselves up for a successful and rewarding year and the MSCW staff are excited to be here to support our students in this journey. 

I look forward to partnering with families and staff as we guide our students through a purposeful and no doubt successful 2026.
