Science Club Stem Project

Science Club members learnt about Arduinos and used this knowledge to create a model of a renewable energy source. They simulated electricity generation with an Arduino which reads the motor speed to turn on a light. The sessions were run after school in collaboration with the UTS team as part of the high school STEM outreach program. Students were divided into groups and were introduced to the mechanical process involved in the generation of electricity. They were also given the opportunity to assemble an Arduino based on specific criteria. Student groups constructed their final models and presented them in front of an audience.

MCC Anti Racism Video

We are proud to introduce our latest educational video, created by our MCC leaders, Avleen KAUR and Nihat Sarp BILGE, along with other leaders, addressing the critical issue of racism within our school community. Student leaders have run workshops during our Homeroom periods over the last 3 weeks to all classes in the school to inform students about the impacts of racism. This video which was part of the workshop features real-life scenarios that highlight the impact of racist remarks, the importance of speaking out against such behaviors, and the role of peer support in fostering an inclusive environment. We invite you to watch this impactful video and join us in our commitment to creating a school where everyone feels valued and respected.

Remember, a stronger community begins with us.
