In Week 1,our College proudly held the commissioning of new student leaders at a formal assembly to start Term 4. These leaders will now transition into their new positions as our current student leaders start to prepare for their final exams. Our current leaders presented the incoming leaders with candles, a prayer card and an affirmation ribbon as a symbol of the leadership handover process. The College community celebrated and acknowledged the achievements and service of our current leaders as part of this handover process.

Thank you to our Year 12 students and mothers for joining us for our annual Year 12 Garden Party, an event hosted in conjunction with the Mt St Michael's Alumni Association. Visit our Facebook page for more photos taken at the event. 

To joyfully mark the final week of classes, Year 12 students were able to make small changes to their uniform as part of the ‘Final Five’. Each day there was a theme and for the 2021 seniors these were:

Monday’s MSM on the Green - students had a supervised dance party on the Convent Lawn ‘green’ and wore tutus and crazy socks.

Tourist Tuesday - students donned Hawaiian shirts and leis and had old-school cameras to accessorise the look.

Wild West Wednesday - students wore their best country attire including checked shirts and cowboy hats.

Tie-dye Thursday saw an explosion of colour with students wearing a tie-dyed item of clothing over their uniform.

And to finish the week, Fluro Friday - wearing their brightest fluro outfits, there was a flurry of fantastic colour amongst the cohort.

The College would like to wish the Year 12 students all the best for their upcoming external exams. 
 

Congratulations to Georgia Blasl, Olivia Webster, Mabelle Maynard, and Christine Rowell, on having their artworks selected to represent MSM in the 2021 Creative Generation Excellence Awards in Visual Art. State judges highly praised all student submissions, awarding Georgia Blasl a Commendation for her powerful photographic series, Hail Caesar. All artworks are currently being exhibited in the Brisbane Institute of Art, Windsor in the Metropolitan Regional Exhibition.

Year 11 Visual Arts in Practice students have each created an illuminated pendant light as their FIA3 LightenUp Product. Student designs communicate the concept of self with motif and design elements. Their lights demonstrate skills in 3-dimensional wireframe assemblage and delicate layers of paper cut detail to manipulate the direction and effect of light.

As part of their Spaces Unit, Year 12 Visual Arts in Practice students completed a photographic folio of images exploring historical and modern architecture from the local community. In addition, raw photos from their portfolios were further enhanced through post-production techniques in Photoshop to improve the quality of the image and/or develop it into another artwork.
