Uniform Shop closure
The Bob Stewart Uniform Shop at the College has now closed. MLMC uniforms are now available from the Bob Stewart shop in Croydon, at 1-7 Maroondah Highway. The shop's trading hours are Monday to Friday 9.00am to 5.00pm and Saturday 9.30am to 12.30pm. You can call the shop on 9036 7386 or email them at croydon@bobstewart.com.au
Student absences via Portal
Parents/guardians are now able to advise the College of a student absence via the Parent Access Module (PAM). By logging on to your PAM account, simply click on ‘Parent Notified Absences’ (which is located on the top right-hand corner of the screen if you are logging in on a computer, or located under the student's name if logging in with a mobile device). Click on ‘+Add Future Absence’, select the student name, reason, absence period and date of absence and include any notes relevant to your child. Then simply click ‘Add’. You will receive a confirmation email of the absence. Changes or cancelling an absence can be made on PAM also.
The College is required to keep an accurate record of absences as part of the VRQA registration, Department of Education and Training and CECV guidelines. Where a student is absent from the College on any given day, parents/guardians are required to advise the College by 9.00am on the day of the absence. This information is then passed on to your child’s homeroom teacher, subject teachers and Year Level Leader via roll marking.
Student absences can be advised to the College via the Parent Access Module (PAM), by phoning the Absentee line (9237 1365) or by emailing administration@mlmc.vic.edu.au.
Where a student has an unexplained absence, the College will advise the parents/guardians as soon as practical.
VCE students
As per the College VCE Policy, a medical certificate and a letter from a parent is required for students undertaking a VCE subject if absent on the day of a SAC.
Absences for family holidays (more than two consecutive days)
Families are also reminded that a condition of student enrolment at the College is to not withdraw students from school for more than two consecutive days for family holidays without the pre-arranged written permission of the Principal. This can be obtained by emailing Mr Morison via principal@mlmc.vic.edu.au. The College strongly discourages students missing classes for social activities as such absences do impact on the learning of other students. Should you have any queries regarding your child’s absence, please contact the College’s Administration team for assistance on 9735 4022.
Mooroolbark Station closure
As part of removing the dangerous and congested level crossing at Manchester Road and building the new station and multi-deck car park at Mooroolbark, a major construction blitz will see Mooroolbark station close for up to four months from 9.00pm on Friday 16 July until late 2021. During this period there will be some important changes to the way passengers travel in the area. Please see attached the flyer.
New MLMC Shop
The College has introduced a new MLMC Shop which gives parents a one-stop-shop payment portal for all transactions (excluding College fee payments). We’re asking parents to use this portal for costs associated with device repairs, photocopier funds, Catherine’s Cafe coffee vouchers, IT purchases and replacement ID cards, bus passes and badges.
Please log on via the College website's Portals page (or click HERE), and create a new account. It is a very quick and easy process to set up an account and the steps are outlined in the MLMC Shop Parent’s Guide, which you can find on the website and below. If you have any problems please contact the Finance Office on 9735 4022.
