Parenting ideas
Tina Tasiopoulos
School Wellbeing Coordinator/Counsellor
From time to time, the College Counsellors will share with our parent community, articles and information that pertain to adolescents and their developmental stages. Topics of interest such as mental health, parenting, friendships, respectful relationships, how to develop connections, etc. are included in the College newsletter. Below you will find a document ‘Disarming anxiety before it becomes a disorder’. If you have concerns about your child, please don't hesitate to contact one of the College Counsellors.

Tomato plant sales
Tomato plants will be available to buy at MLMC tomorrow (Saturday 5 November) from 9.00am. Former staff member Gerry Donovan and members of the St Patrick’s parish community sell the different varieties of tomato seedlings each year with proceeds going to charities including the local St Vincent de Paul chapter, Ugandan Education Fund, and Sister Carol Terpstra’s work in the Philippines. Sr Carol (Class of 1982) is a nursing sister with the Missionary Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart, mostly working in the Philippines, and she was inducted on to MLMC’s Honour Roll in 2012.
