Mount Stromlo High School

Mount Stromlo High would just like to give a big shout out to Erin Nugent (Royals U15’s Rugby Coach) and Jim Taylor (President of Royals Rugby and Royals Junior Rugby) club who came into our school to run three full days of rugby clinics with our PE students.  The purpose of these sessions was to introduce them to the game of Rugby, and to teach them the basic concepts and skills of the game in a safe and supportive environment.  The sessions were so well received. They exceeded our expectations and the kids had a blast! We even had other students come up and ask when they were ‘doing the prawn game’ which was great!
 
Thank you Erin and Jim for your time and expertise. We look forward to our next sessions with you.

Reminder, MSHS will closed on Thursday. We can’t wait to be back with you on Friday!

📢 REMINDER - All ACT public schools are CLOSED this Thursday 11 June 📢

In order to enable industrial action and keep students safe all ACT public schools, including specialist schools and preschools, are CLOSED this Thursday.

The Education Directorate has decided to close schools to students for the day in the interest of student and staff safety.

The Australian Education Union has notified the Education Directorate that its members will take part in protected industrial action on Thursday. We expect a majority of ACT public school staff will participate in the work stoppage, meaning we are unable to confidently plan for safe and appropriate supervision for all students.

Be aware there will be no onsite supervision available for students on Thursday.

If you have any questions or concerns about how this closure impacts your school, please contact your school directly.

We acknowledge that school closures have significant impacts on families and these decisions are not taken lightly. The safety and wellbeing of our students and staff remains our highest priority.
