Happy New Year! May 2025 be a time of happiness and success!
MSS students are back from Christmas break, feeling refreshed and ready for the last stretch of the semester!
The first week back is always a busy time. Students are settling into their routines while preparing for culminating projects, test corrections, teacher conferences and exams. Exam schedules have been posted and teachers are wrapping up lessons and review activities to ensure everyone is ready to tackle their exams with confidence.
For Grade 12 students, this month also brings an important deadline: Wednesday, January 15 is the last day to submit university applications through the Ontario Universities Application Centre (OUAC). It’s a big milestone for those planning their post-secondary education, so if you haven’t finalized your choices yet, now’s the time to get it done.
With exams approaching, Headstrong, the school’s mental health extracurricular, is offering support to help students manage stress. They’ve organized announcements on relaxation techniques and shared tips for staying focused and organized. These resources are a great reminder to prioritize mental well-being alongside academics.
The first week back is a chance to refocus and start the year on a strong note. With the right balance of preparation and self-care, students are set to successfully finish the semester.
Until next time, go, Mustangs, go!
