Graduation tickets
Please remember Year 12 Graduation tickets are now on sale. A letter has been placed on the Parent Portal with all the information. The closing date for ticket sales is Friday 31 August.
Student-free day
Please mark Friday 24 August on your calendar as a Staff Professional Development Day. As no classes will run on this day, it is a perfect opportunity for students to catch up on study.
Commendations/College Colours
As we settle into Semester 2 and the excitement of Academic and Merit Awards from Semester 1 has passed, students are reminded to turn their attention to College Colours. Students are encouraged to involve themselves in as many activities as possible to earn College Commendations that may lead to them attaining a College affirmation award. Although there is a clear criterion for the award, Year Level Leaders’ discretion will always be used in the final decision making.
Insight SRC
As part of seeking continued improvement in the way in which the College operates, and to measure the organisational health of MLMC, we are in the process of collecting data from parents, students and staff via a series of surveys administered by Insight SRC.
During the course of this month, a random sample of 150 parents, along with 300 students and staff, will be completing the surveys. The results of the surveys will be compiled and a report returned to the school.
Although participation is voluntary, we strongly encourage you to complete the survey. We at MLMC believe it is important to encourage parent voice to help shape the ongoing improvement of the school.
If you choose to complete the paper survey, please enclose the completed survey in the envelope provided (marked CONFIDENTIAL), seal and have your son/daughter return it to Student Reception by Friday 24 August, 2018. If you choose to undertake the Survey Online please do so by Friday 24 August, 2018.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all parents that have taken the time to complete the survey either online or via paper surveys sent home. Your feedback is much appreciated.
