HERE WE GO!

As you are hopefully aware, our Year 12's are now in the midst of their final HSC exams!

Two english exams are already down, with many more to go...

Please be praying for our students as they undergo what has the potential to be a very stressful time, take the time to ask them how they are going and see how they feel.

We are also looking forward to the Year 12 Formal, as I am sure the students are also looking forward to taking the time to celebrate after all their hard work.

HSC STUDY CAMP

Over the past two days, year 12 have all taken part in the annual HSC Study Camp. Throughout that time they attended session run by teachers and special guests, focusing on the upcoming exams and how to plan for them, as well as thinking about maintaining a healthy balance in what is such a stressful period of life. The students camped out overnight on the College grounds and got up nice and early this morning for some breakfast, ready for the second day.

Overall, the camp was very successful, with many students taking away a range of new skills and great motivation for what lies ahead. Their attitudes towards the time is to be commended, as the feel of the camp was extremely positive due to the way they applied themselves to all activities. Well done Year 12!

THE WORKS

TRIAL HSC EXAMS

Hey Guys,
Here is your timetable for you to download.
and here it is to look at...

EXCURSION!!!

On Friday, 8th June, the Year 12 Standard English class visited the Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre for a production of their Module A Prescribed Text, The Shoe Horn Sonata, by playwright John Misto. This performance, staged by Emu Heights Productions Inc., had them captivated and proved to be a valuable resource to their ever-growing understanding of the play and its meaning. Furthermore, an invaluable treat for the students was the Question and Answer time. As it so happened, the playwright himself, John Misto, made a surprise appearance, answering a number of questions for the hungry minds in great detail, evoking many emotions with his stories. A play that pays tribute to the Australian Army Nurse Prisoners of War in WWII, Misto explained to the students that he wrote the play as a memorial to the women, of which they have been neglected for far too long. He is quoted as saying, "I do not have the power to build a memorial. So I write this play instead...". Many of the students were able to recognise and value the fact that they were a privileged few, having had an opportunity that possibly no other students in the state of NSW have had.

JERSEYS!

Great to see year 12 students in their jerseys today!!! Looking Good!

Just a reminder, jersey are only to be worn on tuesdays, with full College winter uniform underneath, including shirt, tie etc... Blazers may be worn over the top if students are still cold, or jumpers underneath.

Enjoy!

WORKING TOGETHER!

Heres some of our year 12's hard at work, working together with some year 9's!

FORMAL!

It has been exciting to chat to year 12 students this week to seek feedback on what they would like to happen as part of their end of year formal. Soon we will form a formal committee in order to begin preparations for the big event!

If you are a parent of a year 12 student and would like to be involved in this committee, please email me, jonathand@macc.nsw.edu.au
