Dear Parents/Carers,
Our college now has a dedicated school careers website to assist students with their career research, senior secondary pathways, and post-school planning. In addition to the main website, students have their own secure area to create and store their personalised career documents. They can even undertake virtual work experience in a variety of industries.
The site is also designed with you in mind, so you can access information to help your child with their career planning and post-school decisions.
Click here: https://www.msjcareers.com/ to access the MSJ Careers website.

MSJ's 2025 musical is here! The cast and crew of Little Shop of Horrors are thrilled to present this witty, tongue-in-cheek comedy that audiences will love. This deliciously devious Broadway and Hollywood sci-fi smash, Little Shop of Horrors, was written by Broadway legends Howard Ashman and Alan Menken (the creative minds behind Disney’s The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin), and has become one of the most beloved shows worldwide.
Meet Seymour Krelborn, a meek floral assistant who stumbles upon a mysterious new plant he names “Audrey II” after his crush at work. This potty-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises fame and fortune to Seymour—but only if he keeps feeding it… blood. As Seymour learns more about Audrey II’s otherworldly origins, he realizes the plant’s intentions for global domination are far from ordinary!
Filled with catchy tunes, sharp one-liners, and unforgettable characters from the streets of Skid Row, Little Shop of Horrors is a show you won’t want to miss. After months of hard work, the talented students of MSJ are ready to bring this unique story to life at the Altona Theatre from August 22–23.
Join us for a night of singing, dancing, a ravenous plant, and a love story that’s truly out of this world!
