15.01.2022 Congratulations to Finn in Yr 11 and his dad Matt. Both competed in the Western Sydney XC Championship on Sunday with Finn placing an extremely impressive 3rd. Well done!

15.01.2022 Under current COVID restrictions, our students are unable to sing so K-6 have been learning sign language. See if they can teach you at home!

11.01.2022 Our Year 9/10 Outdoor Elective class has been busy learning new skills this year. Quite sadly for them, their trip to the Snowy Mountains was cancelled due to COVID restrictions. So, in an effort to put some of those new skills to use (under strict COVID guidelines) Mr Bunton has come up with a way for the students to put theory into practice. Yesterday students enthusiastically left MCC under the warm rays of sunshine to spend the day exploring local mountain bike trails in ...Blackheath. On their return, stories of success were told and tales of woe relayed - again and again, however they all returned in one piece! Today, under a slightly cooler cloudy sky the students are here on the grounds of MCC testing survival skills - team against team, fire against fire (safety first of course with only 2 matches), shelter against shelter, culinary skill against culinary skill, sleuth against sleuth. A Mission Impossible!

11.01.2022 REMINDER FOR SECONDARY STUDENTS Secondary students are reminded to bring the following equipment with them every day and to all classes: Black, Blue and Red Pens (a few of each)... Pencils (including a set of coloured pencils) Ruler Highlighter Protractor Eraser Glue Stick Compass USB thumb drive (2G) Scissors Scientific Calculator (replacements available at the Office for $23) If students learn these organisational disciplines now, theyll be better prepared for their senior schooling years and hopefully adulthood!

10.01.2022 Mr May has been busy replacing our old and tired dining room ceiling and its come up a treat! Thanks to Finn in Year 10 who has been working super hard with Mr May as part of his work experience. Mr May has been seriously impressed with Finns work ethic and practical abilities. Im sure youve slept well Finn! Mr May is a bit sore from going up and down, up and down and up and down the ladder for a few days.

07.01.2022 Today is RUOK day. Without question, 2020 has been a tough year. Today is a great reminder for our students and their families, that its ok to not be ok, however youre NEVER alone. "...He will neither fail you nor abandon you" - Deut 31:6... https://youtu.be/mwKOYR65RN0

05.01.2022 When the weather is so beautiful what do you do? Measure the mass of things outside of course. Year 2 having fun with the (frustrating) difference between estimation and fact when measuring mass.

05.01.2022 As we say goodbye to 1 legend - Mr Dale Killeen, who Im sure you would agree, turned the grounds of the College into an incredibly beautiful space for our students to enjoy, as well as constantly coming up with ingenious ways to sort out all types of practical problems; entertain staff with his mischievous character and be an all round fantastic man; we say hello and introduce you to another legend - Mr Ben May. Ben is married with 3 children, is a horticulturist by trade who ran his own landscaping business and has managed Camp Fletcher in Hazelbrook for the past 12 years. When we said goodbye to Dale we wondered how we could possibly replace him, yet God provided as always! Ben (and his beard) is a great blessing already and brings a huge wealth of skill and knowledge. Welcome to MCC!
