22.01.2022 Our community has been incredibly generous in their support of the MS Readathon. After we smashed through our initial goal of $1000, we increased it to $2000, then $3000. With one week left, our College community has raised over $4000! A representative from MS Readathon contacted TMC last week to thank us as one of the highest performing schools in QLD!

22.01.2022 One of the many joys of being at TMC is feeling a sense of the nature around us. Yesterday, a colony of bees visited the campus are started building a new hive near the stage, along one of our main walkways. Luckily, our groundsman, Marek, is an avid beekeeper and he quickly grabbed his suit and gathered them up. The TMC bees are now happy in their new hive with Marek's other 150 beehives on his property!

21.01.2022 Congratulations to our QLD State Equestrian team for 2020! TMC has won the Derek and Rita Dobson Trophy for the school with the highest aggregate score. This is a fantastic reward for all the hard work put into Equestrian by our students, parents and our Head of Equestrian Ms Michelle Criss. TMC: QLD State Equestrian Champions!

21.01.2022 R U Ok? Thursday, September 10 is R U Ok? Day, a day dedicated to check in with those you love and those you may have lost touch with.

12.01.2022 Our Pre-Prep to Prep transition days help to give our youngest learners a great start to their schooling. Yesterday, the Pre-Prep students had a visit to Prep Val, and the Prep teacher Ms Brown hosted games and read books. Our current Prep students 'buddied up' with the ELC visitors to help them out!

12.01.2022 For all TMC uniform needs for 2021. Reminder: December / January is their busiest time, it is recommended to attend asap to avoid social distancing entry restrictions.

11.01.2022 The staff at TMC enjoyed their professional development day while joining in on Jersey Day https://www.jerseyday.com.au/, a day to promote an awareness of organ donation through the Donate Life network https://donatelife.gov.au/. There was a great mix of rugby union, league, football (soccer), netball, & AFL jerseys on show. Mrs Stevens even wore a vintage (2003) TMC jersey!

10.01.2022 The College is proud to announce that TMC was the second highest fundraising school in QLD for the MS Readathon, rasing $5408 for this worthy cause! What an incredible achievement for a school our size and it would not have been possible without the efforts of our students, and the generous donations of our community. On Wednesday we were proud to present our donation cheque to Hannah from MS QLD. Prep was the highest fundraising class, Maharley was the highest fundraiser and Jennifer read the most amount of books. Maharley and Jennifer will receive a book prize from Mr Stevens and Prep will get to choose some new books for their class! Thank you, Mr Golden (5Vic) for organising everything.

08.01.2022 Bushwalking at TMC! Term 3 has seen the return of Bushwalking as an option for Wednesday Sport. Our students have visited Curtis Falls, The Botanical Gardens and Witches Falls.

08.01.2022 Congratulations to the TMC Swimming Team for their performance at the Hinterland District Swimming Championships. Special mention to Zain Bartlett for winning gold in the 50m Butterfly & 50m Backstroke and Michael Brady-Fujita for winning gold in the 50m Breaststroke!

07.01.2022 A reminder that we have two new initiatives starting this afternoon in our car park: 1. The former 2-minute zone is now 'Immediate Pick Up Only'. You may only park in these spaces if your child is already waiting on the footpath. Primary parents wanting to use this facility should arrive a few minutes after the bell rings at 2:50pm. Before the children walk down from class, no one is permitted to fill these spaces, so please do not arrive early. 2. Families who have a child i...n Secondary are asked not to arrive at the car park until after 3pm. Parents who collect both Primary and Secondary students are also asked not to arrive until after 3pm. Mrs Melbourne and Mr Stevens will be in the car park this afternoon to supervise the car park 'Immediate Pick Up Zone'. It would be helpful if parents can follow this procedure without needing reminder. It is expected that there will be an adjustment period as everyone adapts to these changes, so please be patient

07.01.2022 Today was the final day of Rec Sport for the year! Congratulations to all students for their amazing improvement over the course of Term four.

07.01.2022 Wow, what a difference there was yesterday afternoon in the car park at pick up time! Thank you parents for following along with our new Immediate Pick Up Zone rules - Mrs Melbourne and Mr Stevens were very impressed by how easy it was for parents to arrive and collect their children. To make these changes into a new habit, remember these easy steps: 1. 'Primary only' parents - do not arrive before the 2:50pm bell if you want to use the Immediate Pick Up Zone. Children typica...lly take a few minutes after that to make it down to the pick up zone. 2. Parents collecting Secondary children - please do not arrive before the 3pm bell. If you also have a child in Primary, they can wait at the bench seats or under cover at the front of the admin building for their older sibling. Thank you again to all our parents for adjusting quickly to these new procedures!

07.01.2022 It’s show time! Tonight, our Drama Excellence students perform the first of two performances of Twelve Angry Jurors. Our staff were treated to a preview showing during the day today and we are so proud of what these talented students and teachers have achieved. Well done DEx team!
