Happy Mac.Rob Week and welcome to Super Connect! You'll be connecting with friends from other year levels today, and you'll enjoy lots of extremely fun activities, all designed by Raga, Salma and our Connect Captains. Hope you have a blast!

Today, you'll learn all about the ways in which Mac.Rob is, and always has been, a progressive institution, creating and suporting social change and reform to improve society and reduce inequality.

Don't forget to wear a touch of purple this Friday 28th August!

Today, you'll complete the Challenge Success Survey, which is part of our partnership between Mac.Rob and Stanford University.

This is the second time that we've undertaken this survey, but your first opportunity to contribute! Thanks so much for participating!
