22.01.2022 Wow! If you drive past the school this long weekend, make sure to look out for the new vinyl signage that has been installed at the main entrance to the school. The special signage, which celebrates our school's place and role as part of the Morisset community, has also been installed at the entrance to our school hall, and it looks fabulous!... The design of the new signage is part of the ongoing beautification of the school and has been created in consultation with the Itji-Marru Laecg, to share a special story of connection and purpose, which we'll share more with you soon. The installation of the new blinds, more furniture, and shelving is continuing in our library (with thanks to our students who are lending a hand, and learning skills along the way). The full revamped library will be officially opened as part of our school's NAIDOC Week commemorations next term. Stay posted for more updates as we continue to work to beautify our school.

18.01.2022 We're looking forward to welcoming our 2021 Year 7 students when they visit our school for Orientation Day from 9am tomorrow - Tuesday, December 1, 2020. Last week we welcomed students who will join the 2021 Year 7 enrichment class to Morisset High School. They got to meet their classmates and participated in a range of critical thinking activities to build their skills ready for the new school year. They also had the chance to meet some of their new teachers, as well as the ...teachers of the current year 7 enrichment classes to hear about the programs and extension opportunities they will get to be part of next year. A big thank you to Mr Tamlyn and Mrs Miller, our High Potential and Gifted Education coordinators (formerly known as GATS) for organising the day for the students and to Mr Bettison for his support of these transition events. We are excited to be seeing these students, along with their entire cohort, visiting us for another fantastic transition day tomorrow.

17.01.2022 There's nothing like a warm cup of Milo on a cold day! A growing number of our students are taking the opportunity to learn more about maths, in a fun setting, by playing games, while sipping on Milo, in the school's new Contemporary Learning Centre (CLC). Our CLC has been established with special COVID-19 funding offered to schools by the Department of Education to empower students to develop their learning skills in literacy and numeracy. ... Maths and Milo is held in the CLC, in the old music rooms, every school day during recess. Special thanks to our Head Teacher of Contemporary Learning, Mrs Kemp, and the CLC team, Ms Binkins, Mrs Pratt, and Student Learning Support Officers Ms Watters and Ms Mellor for providing this fun opportunity for our students.

The Morisset High School P&C have funded our students to create some bright and colourful murals to decorate our canteen, which has been renamed by our 2020 Student Representative Council as Motown Meals. Thanks to the amazing Ms Pickering and Ms Butler from our art department who has helped the students to create the murals. We look forward to seeing them installed in the canteen area next year!... The Mural Club has been busy working on the murals during sport and some of their breaks, and should also be commended on their commitment to beautifying and improving their school. Well done!

06.01.2022 I was so very proud of Ms Pratt and the group of 13 students who attended the excursion to Newcastle Port Authority and businesses focused on import and distribution on Thursday. Staff at every venue including Beresfield Bowling Club where they had lunch, complimented the group on their excellent behaviour and manners. Our thanks to Ms Kerr for providing us with the opportunity. Our students learned about the myriad of careers available in sourcing, importing, transporting ...and delivering goods all around the world. Computer specialists, water pilots and captains, stevedores, accountants, legal representatives, customs specialists and sales. There were even more career options our students exposed to during the excursion. Principal, Cheri McDonald.

04.01.2022 It was great to see our future seniors being so engaged in deciding what subjects to chose for their HSC at tonight’s Subject Selection evening. Our Year 10 students had the opportunity to discuss their subject choices and plans for work and study after school at their subject selection interviews last week. Tonight’s event was another opportunity for the cohort to ask question with the support of their parents, carers and family. ... Any student who did not attend the subject selection night will be given their unique QR code to make their choices online, at tomorrow’s roll call assembly. We encourage Year 10, their parents and carers, who may have questions about the HSC and how to ensure choices fulfill the NESA requirements, to contact the school.

02.01.2022 REMEMBERANCE DAY 2020 Today, our school came together to reflect and pay tribute to the personal sacrifice and dedication of our veterans at a school Remembrance Day Assembly. Our new school leaders led the special assembly that shared stories of veterans from the First World War, shone a light on the sacrifice of our Indigenous and Aboriginal veterans, and the many Australian women who were also on the frontline as nurses, caring for the injured and maimed. ... A wreath was laid by our school cenotaph by our school captains Bryce Webber and Kayley Bercli, and Principal Mrs McDonald, before our Head Teacher of Music and LOTE, Mrs Clewett, performed the Last Post, and the whole school honoured the fallen with a minute silence. Following the Reveille, also played by Mrs Clewett, and the raising of the flag, a group of the school's talented music students sang and performed the National Anthem. Normally our friends from the South Lake Macquarie RSL sub-Branch (Morisset) would be part of our school commemorations on Remembrance Day, but due to COVID-19 restrictions, we're unable to be part of the day's commemorations. #wewillrememberthem #lestweforget2020

01.01.2022 It was great to have Big Picture Education Australia co-founder Viv White at the school last week to continue her mentorship of our MHS Big Picture Academy students and their advisers. Viv spent time working with the group of Year 12 Big Picture students who plan to present their final project to academics and researchers at the University of Newcastle and the University of Western Sydney, to hopefully gain entry to undergraduate programmes in 2021. Our 2020 School Captain,... Aiden Brown, is hoping to commence a degree in Software Engineering at the University of Newcastle and Joshua Yee hopes to be enrolled in the Bachelor of Health Science (Sports and Exercise) at Western Sydney University. They will join the three students from the same year group, Abbey Bennett Jamie-Lee Parsons and Lochie Westfall who have already commenced their degrees at the University of Newcastle, this year. This is the first group of Year 12s to graduate from the MHS Big Picture Academy, with all of the graduates have a plan in place for further study, or employment, once they complete their studies, and present their final projects next week (Week 6). We wish our Big Picture students all the best for their futures and know they will apply the valuable learning, research and employment skills they have learned as part of the MHS Big Picture Academy to find their success, and be lifelong learners.
