Welcome back to Term 2!
We trust that you have had a wonderful Easter break and enjoyed some much-deserved time to rest, relax and catch up with family and friends. There are many events that will be taking place this term in the Middle School, so be prepared as it is going to be a busy term.
A few reminders from us to ensure this term is positive and runs smoothly:
Uniform
Terms 2 and 3 are Winter Uniform terms. Currently we are in the transition period where students can wear either their summer OR winter uniform, this period concludes on Friday 1 May with all students expected to be in full winter uniform on Monday 4 May, this includes their tie.
Combinations of summer and winter uniforms are not permitted. If for any reason you are not in the proper full school uniform, please bring a note from home and come to the Middle School office for a uniform pass.
The uniform points system will continue to be implemented, with uniform points accumulating throughout the year and resetting at the start of the 2027 academic year.
Lockers
All students should now have a designated locker, please ensure that you use your lockers to store your bags and personal belongings in a safe space. Bags will no longer be permitted in the classrooms.
If you do not have a locker, please see your coordinators as soon as possible at lunchtime so that a locker can be allocated to you. You can bring your own combination lock or alternatively purchase one from the front office. You will have to carry your bag with you until lunchtime.
Mobile Phones/Ear Pods
As per DE policies, mobile phones are not to be visible on school grounds. Once you come into the MWSC gates please ensure you keep your phones in your bag which are then to be placed in your locker, this also applies to your ear pods. The mobile phone policy will be followed through with in the event of visible phones or ear pods on school grounds.
Attendance
Please ensure that absences are recorded on Compass on the day and for extended absences please inform the Middle School office so that appropriate support can be provided.
Late to School
If you are running late to Period 0 or Period 1 classes, please ensure you go to the front office or the Middle School office to get signed in before going to your class.
Behaviour Matrix
This year sees the launch of the school wide positive Behaviour Matrix tailored to the MWSC ILEARN values. The Matrix will be visible in many formats across both campuses, including the school display screens, in sub schools and within subjects. We would greatly appreciate our community to support the embedding of this educational initiative through conversations at home about the importance of values driven behaviour.
We look forward to a great term together.

Head of Middle School
