UNIFORM

As indicated in previous communications, changes are afoot when it comes to the Magdalene Catholic College Uniform (including Sports Uniform).

Firstly, please note that there are no changes intended for 2020. Lowes remains our uniform supplier next year and the second-hand uniform store will operate as normal.

However, from 2021 the College’s new uniform supplier will be Noone (pronounced noon). Noone has been producing uniforms for schools since 1947 and are very impressive in many regards.

New uniform items will start appearing in 2021 and there will be a transition period for some year groups.

Year 7 2021, Year 10 2021 (current Year 8 2019) and Year 11 2021 (current Year 9 2019) will be the first year groups who will have a new uniform.

More details will follow in the new year.

HSC Results & Release of ATAR results

This year HSC results will be released at 6am on Tuesday 17th December.

There has been a change in when ATAR results are released this year. In previous years they were released the day after HSC results were released.  However, this year they will ALSO be released (on the relevant app) at 1pm several hours after the HSC results (17th December).

We wish our Year 12 cohort of 2019 all the very best and invite them to the HSC/ATAR Congratulatory Morning Tea at 10am on Wednesday 18th December. This is a Celebration Morning Tea - to recognise the formal end of study of our Year 12s and to commend each other on various achievements.
