Student attendance requirements and sign out process
Campus Directors Mrs Gail Preston (McAuley) and Mr Kamahl Russell (Barak)
We would like to remind all students and parents that the College has a responsibility and duty of care toward all students, and therefore need to be aware of students coming onto or leaving College-grounds. Usually, students use the Early Leaver Pass process (supported with a parent-note, which needs to be approved by a Year Level Leader) when they know in advance when they may need to leave the College early. However, we need to remind students that if this is not arranged beforehand, that they cannot simply call parents, friends or family to come and collect them. For whatever reason they need to leave early (poor health, medical appointments, etc) that they must Sign-out at Student Reception after first visiting either Year Level Leader, or First Aid (who if necessary, will contact their parents for confirmation) to seek approval. We would ask parents too, that if contacted by their child, that they direct their child to follow the correct process and not collect them until the school contacts them. If parents are required during the day to collect their child for urgent appointments we would ask that they first contact Dublin House Student Reception who will get in contact with their child and and pass on collection-details (to minimise disruption to classes).
MLMC Uniform Shop
The Bob Stewart Uniform Shop at MLMC will be open tomorrow (Saturday 7 March), from 9.30am-12.30pm. However, the shop will be closed on Monday 9 March due to the public holiday. Trading hours for the remainder of Term 1 are:
- Saturday 28 March — 9.30am-12.30pm
- Thursday 9 April (day before Good Friday) — 9.00am-2.00pm
- Tuesday 14 April (first day of Term 2) — 8.00am-4.00pm
NB: The uniform shop will be closed on the first Saturday of April due to it falling in the middle of the school holidays.
Parent forum
A parent forum ‘Understanding Autism in young people’ will be held next term. The free event will be held on Wednesday 29 April from 7.00pm-8.30pm for parents, guardians and community members. More information will follow in the next newsletter.
