MNSEC Swimming

Since our last newsletter our MNSEC swimming team ventured to Quorn where they enthusiastically filled every event which was pivotal in Gladstone walking away with the win. Congratulations Isaac Smart on taking out Champion Swimmer  at the same time as sealing quite a few records, some of them longstanding.

Successful Sports Day

Our Sports Day was a resounding success, filled with enthusiasm, sportsmanship, and team spirit. It was wonderful to see our students participating with such dedication and energy. It was an extraordinary effort by the team of staff who made this event possible.

MNSEC Athletics

Congratulations to all students who participated in the MNSEC Athletics. Your hard work and determination have not gone unnoticed. We are proud of each one of you, especially those who volunteered to fill in when others were unavailable. Your willingness to support your peers is commendable and greatly appreciated.

Successful Wine Bottling

A big thank you to Stonebridge Wines for their support to enable our successful wine bottling for 2025. This project has been a wonderful experience for our students, providing them with valuable skills and insights. Thanks to Lauren Amey and Meredith Kleinig for working with a small group of enthusiastic students to bottle 300L of wine very efficiently on Tuesday.

Congratulations to Kate Seidel

We are thrilled to announce that Kate Seidel has been appointed as the Wellbeing Leader for the remainder of the year. Her dedication to student welfare and positive school culture make her an excellent choice for this role.

Thank You, Brayden Kirk

A heartfelt thank you to Brayden Kirk for his exceptional work with our Year 7s, 10s, and SAASTA students. His support and involvement in the sports program have been invaluable. While we will miss his regular presence, we look forward to seeing him around as a TRT.

Acknowledgements and Thanks

I would like to extend my gratitude to the parents who attended our recent Annual General Meeting. Your involvement is crucial to our school's success. A special congratulations to Andrew Hughes on being re-elected as Chairperson. We look forward to your continued leadership and support.

Upcoming Fundraiser at the Laura Fair

Looking ahead, we are excited about our major fundraiser at the Laura Fair. This event is a fantastic opportunity for our school community to come together and support our students. We encourage everyone to participate and contribute to making this event a success.

Parent/Teacher/Student Interviews

Interviews are happening next Tuesday from 3.30 pm – 7.00 pm. Please take this opportunity to have a conversation with the teachers about your student’s progress.

Early Dismissal

On Tuesday, at the early finish of the afternoon, we were able to follow up on curriculum planning for the Child Protection Curriculum, following the staff training session on our Student Free Day. We also spent an hour working on refining our Site Learning Plan for 2025, including reviewing what we have achieved so far and the next steps.

EMS

On Monday, March 31^st, GHS will be changed over to the new Departments Management System (EMS). This will involve some very big changes to the way our school operates and communicates with families, particularly regarding invoices and payments. Whilst getting used to a new system can take time, please be patient with our Finance and Admin staff as they transition to this new application. This will not impact the Sentral portal that parents currently use. 

If you have any questions please contact the school. Further information will be communicated via email once we go live.
