Uniform
Lost and Found
The College's lost and found cupboard is overflowing with uniform items that are without an owner. If your child has lost a piece of uniform, sleeping bag, blanket, shoe or drink bottle, it may be in our lost and found cupboard (pictured), which is next to Student Reception. We even have a Richmond Football Club sandwich holder that I will take great pleasure in throwing out if it's not claimed soon. All items in the cupboard are without a name. Any uniform item that is named is returned to students so please check that your child’s name is still clearly visible on each piece of their uniform.
Wet Days
With the arrival of wet days, this is a timely reminder that Bob Stewart's Croydon store has a wet weather jacket (pictured) in stock. These jackets are very light and can roll up into a small bundle that takes up very little room in a school bag. It is well worth the investment to avoid a wet blazer.
College beanie
A number of Year 10 students continue to sell the College beanie at lunchtime, raising funds for Motor Neurone Disease research. Beanies can be bought at the lunchtime stall in Catherine's Way (pictured) or via the Finance department for $20 each. Payments can also be made in advance through the online MLMC Shop, with each beanie sold raising $8 towards this wonderful cause. We are already well on our way of reaching our target of $1600.
Rapid Antigen Tests
The College has a healthy supply of Rapid Antigen Tests. Students are welcome to collect a box of tests from Student Reception should you need one. More information will be sent via a letter to parents soon.
Student photographs
Student photographs have now been distributed to your children via their Homerooms.
