MPH Funtimes!

It has been great to see and hear some of the initiatives that are coming out of the Student Leadership Council this year, and one of them has been organising some play times with younger students in the MPH. This is a fantastic initiative as younger kids really get a great deal out of attention from our older students. I really hope that these kinds of initiatives can continue at MACC and that the SLC can continue to find new and exciting ways to create a greater college atmosphere and interaction among the students. Below are some photos of our Year 12's having a great time with this initiative. 

The Hub

Very exciting to see Year 12 Business Studies using the new learning spaces in 'The Hub'.

Keep up the good work guys.

Mathematics in action

Now, I am often one to argue that English is a much more relevant subject when it comes to usability, but it was exciting to see Year 12 putting their measuring skills to work. Joel, how big is your face?

Keep up the good work guys!

Key Dates.

There are some key dates that you need to keep in mind for this term.

1. Your assessment tasks have been structured in such a way that you will have one task due pretty much per week this term, to make sure you stay on top of them.

2. Deposit money for Jerseys is due back Monday 13th May.

3. Permission note for Careers Expo is due back Monday 13th May.

4. There is to be a Year 12 Study day on the last day of Week 9, so if you have organised to work in the sport time that you would normally go home or if you have some other activity organised, you have plenty of time to change it. This day will be geared towards preparation for your Trial HSC Examinations.

There will be more dates coming for you to be aware of.

Mr. Simpson.

Welcome Back!!!

Welcome back to another term at College. As you are all now embarking on the Second Semester of your HSC year you are really getting towards the business end of your time at the College. This will be the term that your major works are getting very close to being finished and it will see you near the end of content in most of your subjects. It has been encouraging to see the majority of you return to College this week motivated and ready to work, but I still there is more that can be given. Remember, regular study and focus in class will put you on the path to achieve your goals this year.

I am looking forward to a great term and seeing you all continue to work to the best of your abilities.

Mr. Simpson.

Ag Plot

Below are some images of some of our Year 12 students helping out in the Ag Plot. It is wonderful to see students getting their hands dirty to improve the college and, in turn, benefiting the learning of all students that use that space. Simply click on the images to see an enlarged version.

Excellent work guys!

Mr. Simpson.

Year 12 Parent Committee

A note went home a short while ago regarding the Year 12 Parent Committee for organising the end of year festivities for Year 12. Please get these expression of interest forms back to me by Monday so that the committee can be organised and get the ball rolling.

Thanks.

Mr. Simpson

hscLIVE

There is a fantastic new resource that is available for a range of subjects called hscLIVE. Essentially, it is live streaming videos presented by an expert in the specific subject presenting on a specific theme/topic.

https://www.hsclive.com.au/

If you miss any you have the ability to purchase them. Once you register you can flick through all of your subjects and diairise when the videos will be showing. A great feature of the videos is that there are students in the studio while they are being filmed that have the ability to ask questions. Generally, these questions are really good and address issues that, I am sure, will have.

Check it out!!!
