Sibling photo envelopes have been distributed.  These must be returned to the office at the start of Term 3.  Only the sibling envelopes are required to be returned this way.

Photo day will be held Thursday 23 July, Week 2 of Term 3 - order forms will be dispatched before the end of this term. 

To comply with health authority requirements, as well as changing the product that you will receive, we also have implemented social distancing measures as follows:

• Each student will be photographed individually and the group created digitally as a composite. This will eliminate the need for students to be huddled together in close contact with other students or staff.
• Hygiene and cleaning guidelines used by MSP Photography staff are in accordance with information distributed by Qld Health.  

Subway will be back starting next Thursday 18th June. Please check our menu as we have added new items for winter, including vegetable pasties and pizza pockets.

College families are advised not to travel to any areas declared a COVID19 Hotspot. Any students travelling to an area considered a COVID19 Hotspot are to follow QLD Health guidelines regarding quarantine.

As we approach the end of this term, students are starting to complete assessments. We remind students to refer to the assessment schedule and to plan out their time between assignments and studying. It is also important for students to schedule in some “down time” where they are able to relax and recharge.

In ARC, Year 10 have been exploring their own identities and the ties that hold our community together. Working as a team, our students constructed a blueprint for respect and identity in their community. It was wonderful to see our students forming new bonds, finding shared interests and showing each other kindness and respect. Our ARC program is really highlighting the thoughtful, kind and inclusive natures of our students.

Week 7 of Term 2 has felt a lot more 'normal' at school, even though for a while to come it is the 'new normal'. The children have settled in nicely to working back at school and the staff have really enjoyed the last couple of weeks. Mrs Horn remarked to me today that the children seem to 'have come back with more energy'. I wonder if families are noticing the same at home? There seems to be more lively action on the oval and in the playground at lunch, with everyone playing with as many friends as possible. One good thing to come out of COVID-19 is we are not taking these experiences for granted anymore. I feel that we are all making up for some lost time!

Thank you to all parents for remembering to socially distance while picking up children from school and keeping them home when unwell - it really is so important that we continue to follow these guidelines.

Looking towards next term, the teachers are already planning for events that we can safely run here at school to continue to offer a variety of experiences and learning opportunities for the children.

In our primary vegetable garden the students are excited about harvesting our crop of carrots, rosemary, capsicum, strawberries and they love eating the passionfruit.

We also are growing zucchinis and our lemon trees are full of juicy ripe lemons, ready for the students to perhaps make lemonade. The students also love feeding and visiting our worm farm. I'm looking forward to having all of our students learning about how and when it is time for growing certain fruit and vegetables. Happy growing!

The students in Prep Val have created Picasso inspired self-portraits, using coloured paper. They look abstract and very colourful.

This term, Year 4 have been learning all about the advertising features of cereal boxes in English. The students created their own cereal box (front, back and sides), using persuasive language and visual techniques. Their boxes are all targeted towards children and have a fantastic selection of different characters and colours. They have also come up with some awesome names, slogans and facts for their cereal package. Well done Year 4!

A warm congratulations from the entire TMC community to Mr and Mrs Fern, who welcomed the birth of their daughter, Ivy, late Monday night. Mum and bub are both doing well and are now back at home, and they are all enjoying the excitement of having a new baby in the house. 

Art classes continued throughout HBL with students working diligently to produce excellent artworks. As per the Senior curriculum, Meg Jamieson and Celine Reid, Year 12, produced paintings to a high standard working in oils while Olivia Parker, Year 11, created an artist book with a focus on the perceptions of beauty and difference.

In year 7 Visual Art on campus students and HBL used various PhotoShop programs to design their own self portrait or pet artwork in various programs such as procreate, face swap, picsart or PhotoShop.

Our HBL students also join us via a meet to receive feedback and peer support.

Year 6 have been creating pinch pots inspired by mentor artist Kara Walker. Dorian Ralliard during HBL designed a frog pinch pot & Stevi Radic an elephant pinch on campus bot hare now patiently waiting to be fired in our TMC kiln.

Wednesday sport has returned to live lessons over the past few weeks and we have been pleased to see the enthusiasm for the temporary program.  Secondary School students are currently split into Year groups and they are playing a different sport each week. This week Year 7 participated in an introduction to Taekwondo and Pilates, Year 8 played Ultimate Frisbee, Year 9 played Football, Year 10 played European Handball and our Senior students played a House Netball Tournament that was dominated by Walton.

During HBL Sienna White was baking and made some tasty treats for the horses in our Equestrian Program. Horse Treats 4U could be the next next big thing! I hear that Sienna's horse was most impressed and is looking forward to the next batch of treats. We are so looking forward to the opportunity for our team to get back to training on Wednesday at the Kelecyn Equestrian Centre. At this stage we hope that program will recommence at the start of Term 3.

The TMC House Athletics Carnival is fast approaching and will hopefully be staged at the Jimboomba Athletics Centre in Week 2 of Term 3.  This event will be for students from Year 4 to Year 12.  There will be a separate event two weeks later conducted on site at TMC for Prep to Year 3. Both these events will be subject to the policies and restrictions of the Queensland Government at the time and may be postponed or cancelled. 

In order to prepare, an entry form will be added to the TMC Sport Google Classroom.  To enter, Secondary students need to answer all questions and select the events they wish to participate in.  Only students that fill in the Google form will be entered into the Carnival, there will be no entries taken on the day. To help Primary students from Years 4-6 enter, Mr O'Loughlin will help the students through the process.  NB - Unfortunately at this stage parents are unable to attend school events but this will be reviewed as restrictions are reduced in Queensland.
