Summer uniform
The College will be transitioning into full summer uniform by the Melbourne Cup long weekend. Full winter or full summer uniform can be worn (not a mixture of the two) until Friday 3 November. From Wednesday 8 November, all students are expected to be in full summer uniform.
Hats, however, are compulsory throughout Term 4.
MLMC is a SunSmart College, and as such, we require all students to wear a hat when out in the sun at recess and lunchtime in Terms 1 and 4. This is important for protecting students from the harmful effects of the sun's rays. Please ensure that your child's name is written inside the hat and that they know the importance of wearing it.
Counselling and Wellbeing advice

You can also find more helpful tips for supporting your child through the exam period in the Barak Campus Matters article in this newsletter.
Operation Christmas Child
Mr Matthew Burow
Religous Education and Faith Development Faculty Learning Leader
As a College community, we support the charity Samaritan’s Purse with their ‘Operation Christmas Child’ shoebox initiative. Over the next two weeks, every homeroom is encouraged to pack one or more gift-filled shoeboxes to show God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world. You can find out more about it in the flyer below.
Each year level has been given a specific age and sex to buy for (see flyer below). Each box should include something from each of the six categories:
- something to wear
- something to play with
- something for school
- something to love
- something special
- something for personal hygiene.
Alongside this, every box requires $12.50 with it to help with shipping and handling, follow this link to see the impact of the $12.50. Click HERE for details.
We encourage you to donate by purchasing an item from one of the six categories or contributing to the $12.50 shipping and handling. Please coordinate with your child’s homeroom teacher. Please contact me at the College if you have any questions.
