The College P&F are hosting a colour run for students on Tuesday 28th October. This event is to raise money for the P&F's goal of purchasing STEM robotic sets 

Information on how students can set up their fundraising profile has been sent home with students at the start of next term. 

Click here for a copy of the Fundraising Booklet 

The event will be lots of fun for all involved and a colourful way to end the year.

Year 11 Visual Art students started Year 12 today with an incursion with artist Mark Paddick. Beautiful artworks were made including the work below by Lotus.

Term 4 is off to a very exciting start for Year 3! We are learning about capacity in our maths lessons. This week we got to experiment with containers of all shapes and sizes, we estimated their capacity and noted it down. Next, we filled up the containers and used measuring jugs to check the exact capacity. Such a fun, hands-on activity to consolidate our learning!

We have also started our poetry unit in which we are building up to writing our own humorous poem. Watch this space!

The ELC has been growing since 2019 when we opened, enrolling 13 students.  This year we have 66 enrolments at our service!Over the last 4 years we have continued to deliver a Pre Prep program with many families in the community enrolling their child as early entry at 3 years old.  This group of children were grouped in the Kindy group. They will continue next year staying with us for 2 years.  

Moving forward for 2024 I am delighted to announce a room name change:

Room 1 ( Beacon Rd side) will be know as: The Wattle Room

Room 2 ( College side) will be known as:  The Lilly Pilly Room

Our inspiration for these native plant names is the Kindy classes Artsfest piece 'Our Home on top of the Mountain' depicting the landscape in our National Parks here at Mount Tamborine, 'Wangerriburra Country'.  Both the Wattle and the Lilly Pilly are native plants to the Mountain and surrounding landscape.

Priority of access continues for Pre Prep eligible children aged 4 by the 30 June 2024.  Families are notified in term 3 of the year prior, if they have secured a position for the following year.

Children who are 3 by the start of Term 1 are considered for early entry if there are any additional positions available.

Applications for children turning 3 later in the year will be considered based on availability.

Over the school holidays, 22 Art students attended our two day Art Summer School - Art Camp - with Gold Coast artist Caitlyn Taylor. We made beautiful art and shared some lovely 'arty' time together.

Ash competed at the 2023 Interschool National Championships held in Werribee, VIC after her success at the Qld State Championships. She was on the QLD team with her horse Spike in the 1* eventing team & after three consecutive days of competition (dressage, cross country & showjumping) they finished as the Australian Reserve Champions! They were also named on the Qld eventing team which placed 3rd overall.

Ashlee's Mum said that it had been a very successful but exhausting few weeks as they had been away for 13 days and driven over 3600kms. 

Absolutely amazing results from Ashlee, she certainly did TMC proud. Ashlee is a key part of our Equestrian team and attends our lessons each week down at Kelecyn (TEG). It is great to see Ashlee's dedication and hard work paying off with her amazing results. We can't wait to continue to watch her growth and development in the Equestrian arenas in the future.
