Today students dressed up in camouflage and jungle theme to raise money for the TMC Kokoda Challenge entry. The SRC also held a sausage sizzle and bake sale to raise funds. The students raised an impressive $799.95!

Thanks to all our students and staff who made this a great success. 

Maya G in Year 10 has been successful in gaining entry to a Certificate III in Early Childhood Education as a School-Based Trainee. Maya will be working at Creative Garden Early Learning Center in Arundal and will be completing this Certificate alongside her studies. The staff at the center were so impressed with Maya's enthusiasm and calm demeanor that she was offered the position immediately after completing her trial day. We are proud of Maya and we know that she will do herself and the College proud during her training.

Each week here at TMC, three students are awarded a Prefect Award in recognition from their teachers for displaying one of our KIES values - Kindness, Integrity, Equity, Success. One student is chosen from years 7 - 8, 9 - 10 and 11 - 12. This week the students we would like to congratulate are: 

• Mia C Year 8 - for showing kindness and care towards another student in Wednesday sport 
• Ella T Year 10 - for success in always coming to class with a smile on her face, an eagerness to learn, and a desire to achieve her personal best
• Max L Year 12 - for always being honest, kind, polite and respectful and showing integrity in Maths 

Well done to these students for showing aspects of kindness, integrity, equity and success around school and in the classroom.

On Wednesday afternoon, the stars shone brightly as our talented TMC students performed in TMC's Got Talent - Secondary.

Student talents ranged from singing, dancing, playing instruments and dramatic skits. We were even treated to a synchronised swimming performance by our amazing teachers. It was a tough call to make with such spectacular acts, but in the end, Tannaya B came in second place for her breathtaking performance of Olivia Rodrigo’s Happier, and Year 12 students Talia C and Zoe C took the win with their hilarious drama performance ‘Photobombing 101’. Our students competed to not only entertain the audience but to also win JB Hi-Fi gift cards.

We would like to congratulate all the students and teachers who were courageous and determined when sharing their acts. We would also like to congratulate all the winners of the day and those that contributed to make the event happen, it was truly a brilliant show!

Last Friday our Year 4 and Junior Band students did a wonderful job performing at our annual Beginner Music Concert! This was the first concert for our Year 4 Band students and also for many of our Junior Band students. 

The Junior Band opened the concert with Return of the Gladiators - a unique piece for beginner band with an exciting EDM backing track. Following this, all Year 4 students performed a variety of duets in their lesson groups, including a rendition of We Will Rock You with the audience enthusiastically joining in!  Faryn B and Eden W each performed additional pieces, showcasing the extension work they have completed. 

Several of our Junior Band students inspired the Year 4 beginners by performing a mix of duets, showcasing the skills that can be achieved in just a year or two. The small group rendition of the Among Us Drip Theme was particularly admired. 

With such support from the audience and fellow band members, it was a beautiful first concert for our students. Looking forward to our next concerts later in the year!

Chess club has commenced in the Primary school for all children from Year 2-6 each Friday lunchtime. We have a small but keen group of boys and girls who have been learning about how to set up a board, Chess manners, where the pieces can travel and how to win the game. Sometimes our games are so challenging that we don't get to finish a round in one lunch time! I look forward to welcoming more keen chess players in Term 3.

Today year 3 visited David Fleays Wildlife Park to support their science unit of living and non-living things. The students explored the park as well as engaging in a ranger presentation and activity. We were also entertained by a fantastic bird show before heading back to school. The children had a great day and enjoyed seeing all the different animals.

This week we had a great time continuing on our learning about minibeasts and their body features.

The children created their own critters using playdough, whilst looking at plastic ones to identify which features to include.

We even had some brand new critters created too!

~Why wasn't the butterfly invited to the dance? Because it was a moth ball!~

Pirates and Going on a Bear Hunt….

Pre prep VIc have been interested in drawing their own maps (Pirate Treasure Maps that have x marks the spot) during free play.  To extend on this interest we have had Pirate themed experiences and  ‘Bear Hunt’ story walk to explore another kind of map! One of the experiences was to practise cutting around Pirate pictures that could be used on their maps.  Cutting is regularly included in our program to enable children opportunities to develop their fine motor skills.   The next day Mrs Fernandez read the story ‘Going on a Bear Hunt’ and then encouraged the children to recall as many parts of the story they could remember. The children thought about all the different places that were in the story.

Charlie said, they went through the grass and a river. Emilia said, and they went through a snowstorm ! The children were very excited to then go on their very own ‘Bear Hunt’ adventure.

The children splashed through the river and squelched through the mud, following the sequence of the story !

Next they drew their own ‘Bear Hunt’ maps, putting into practice their best writing skills and knowledge of numerals numbering each area of their maps one through to five. During class we have been learning to recognise numerals and understand the concept of counting individual items.  

This was such a fun day for the children to explore the outdoors as they took part in sensory activities.  

Roll up, roll up to Kindy’s ice cream shop……..

Kindy friends helped set up a new role play area this week exploring the real life experience of going to an ice cream shop.

Mrs Hinkins had a very special box with items inside it, taking turns the children needed to guess what was inside the box. It was filled with a few ice-cream shop items that could be used in the shop.  Previously everyone had the opportunity to contribute their ideas to brainstorm what you need in an ice cream shop?  There were some very knowledgeable children in the group that seem to know all about this tasty treat!

Kindy is learning:

• How do you ask for what you would like when going to a shop? 
• Roles in a shop, someone needs to take the money or be the customer. 
• To take turns so it is fair for everyone, developing awareness of different ways to interact and communicate in particular social and cultural situations. 
• To explore new vocabulary for describing what they see, hear, taste, smell, touch and feel. 
• Different ways to be imaginative and creative in dramatic and fantasy play.  

Great work everyone, we look forward to what comes next?
