23.01.2022 Congratulations to our year 12s who celebrated their completion of school last night at St Francis winery in Old Reynella.

20.01.2022 Today marks the end of NAIDOC week. The theme for this year is 'Always Was, Always Will Be'. To celebrate NAIDOC we were honoured to host Teena Franey, of the Arrente people who come from Central Australia. Teena is an artist who has sold works to several famous celebrities. She worked with our Reception classes to produce art which told the story of the Seven Sisters. This story relates to the journey aboriginal people took to find water by following the star cluster known... as the Pleiades. Teena also bravely shared her harrowing survival story as a young girl who was stolen from her family. It was a privilege for our Middle and Senior School Students to listen to her story and to ask questions of her experiences.

18.01.2022 Dear parent/caregivers, The Premier today announced that schools and preschools will reopen to all students on Monday 23 November. As a result, Mount Compass Area School will be open and operating as normal. ... We will not be offering an alternative home-based learning program. While OSHC is able to operate as usual, families should check with their OSHC service whether it is operating a service on Monday. As the Chief Public Health Officer said, just because the hard lockdown is being lifted does not mean that the risks associated with COVID-19 have passed. As a result, we will minimise the number of people coming and going from our site. Wherever possible, please drop and collect your child at the gate and maintain the appropriate physical distance from other adults. More information on excursions, events and sporting activities, and use of masks will be available soon. Thank you very much for your support over the last couple of days. We look forward to having your child back at Mount Compass Area School on Monday. Kind Regards Kevin Mooney Principal 20th November
