After the awards have been finalised, lists of all students receiving awards will be advertised on each Year Ad-viser's Noticeboard, as well as through the MHS website and the MHS Facebook site.

Students will only receive a letter home if they are receiving a Special Award.

On Tuesday 18th December, all students will be presented with:

Annual Reports and any Gold Awards, and

Sporting or Community service awards they have achieved in Semester 2.

Students must be present at school on this day to be able to collect their reports, unless prior arrangements have been made with their year advisor.

MUDGEE HIGH SCHOOL YEAR 10 WORK EXPERIENCE Has your Year 10 son/daughter completed work experience yet? Mudgee High School Year 10 students are encouraged to complete work experience this term. Term 4 is a perfect opportunity to participate in this worthwhile program. Benefits include:

Research careers of interest.

Develop work related skills.

Increased work place confidence.

Develop interpersonal skills.

Contacts for future employment.

Suggestions for placements and support is available.

Please contact the MHS Careers Adviser, Mr Kempton, for more information.

Every Tuesday afternoon from 3.30 to 4.30pm the English teachers run a tutoring

session.

It’s in K06.

It’s free.

It’s for everyone - Years 7 to 12.

You can come for 10 minutes or stay for an hour.

Bring a task that you’d like help with, or just have a quiet place to do some work.

We help with English as our first priority, but we also help with the literacy parts of other subjects.

Another free service offered by the teachers at your local school.

This program has run successfully at Mudgee High School for the last 2 years. We welcome all students who

wish to be involved. Students don’t need to book in – they can just turn up on the day and stay for as much of

the hour as they want.

Most of the time students bring the work with which they want help. If a student has a particular skill that they

want to develop, they can let their English teacher know and a package of work targeting that skill can be pre-

pared. We do need a few days’ notice for this.

The last Tutoring Tuesday for 2018 will be on 11th December. We will kick off again in week 2 of 2019. Get

involved and, get the help you need to thrive in school!

A message from the English teachers…
