Message from our Principal
Welcoming Prospective Year 7 2026 students and families
Week 10 brings us closer to the Autumn break and gives us an opportunity to reflect on the great relationships we have with our partner primary schools. Last week, we welcomed our future Year 7 students and their families to the school for the ‘Step Up’ transition evening and followed this up with the first of several school visits for our students coming into Year 7 next year. We were overwhelmed by the response from our community with a fantastic turn out for Step Up, hosted so well by our 2025 Captain team.
Year 6 students were able to engage in taster lessons in Tech, Science, PDHPE and Mathematics and Visual Arts. Our MHS staff were very impressed with the engagement and behaviour of the year 6 students. Thank you so much to our transition adviser, Ms Murphy and to Mrs Veriga-White for their organisation of these events and to all the staff who supported these events, making a very welcoming couple of days for our families.
Captains in the community
Our captains took part in the Mullumbimby Primary School Student Leaders induction, continuing the circle of successful student leaders from Mullumbimby High School, giving back to our local community.
South Passage
Our Year 9 South Passage sailors are safely back on land after an adventurous few day. Thanks to Ms Grennan and Mr Humphreys for taking time out of their personal lives to support this wonderful opportunity for our students.
