SECOND-HAND MAC PE UNIFORMS

2023 MAGAZINE ISSUE
We are aiming to issue the 2023 Magazine by the end of next week.
Only one magazine is issued per family and this will be given to the youngest member of the family to bring home.
Years 11-13 students on exam leave will be emailed to inform them when the magazines are ready for collection.
STUDENTS LEAVING MAC
Any students not returning next year, please email office@mtaspiring.school.nz for a leavers’ form which needs to be completed before your child leaves the College this term.
LEAVE REQUEST FOR STUDENTS
A reminder that if parents are wanting to take students out of school, you will need to apply for leave well in advance using the 'Application for Leave Form' located on our website.
CALLING ALL LOCAL ENROLMENTS FOR 2024
If you have a child currently enrolled at any of the local primary schools who will be joining Mount Aspiring College in 2024, please let us know as soon as possible by submitting an online enrolment form using the following link: https://portal.mtaspiring.school.nz/index.php/enrolment
LOST PROPERTY
We encourage students (and parents) to check the bin if you currently have missing items.
COLLEGE FUNDRAISER
An adventure town deserves an adventure playground at school.
Quality, well designed playgrounds mean students who are physically and mentally healthier, with minds prepared for learning.
Help 'Parents and Friends of MAC' raise funds for a new adventure playground for students. If every student contributed $67, there could be a new adventure playground available next year! We know that’s not possible for all, so we’ll be fundraising and applying for grants. Please help if you can - either by visiting our "Givealittle" page https://givealittle.co.nz/org/mount-aspiring-college, or parents of the school - please select the link below which will take you directly to the myKindo site. All payments generate an automatic receipt.
If you would like to donate directly to the school bank account: Westpac, Wanaka, MAC Board of Trustees 03-1739-0027820-00 Ref: playground.
If you are interested in getting involved with 'Parents and Friends of MAC', please register your details in the form linked on our website.
