Hey Aru,
No worries!
As for science & English I would say that a) they cover the year 9 curriculum in preparation for year 10 and b) have a focus on getting everyone on the same page due to students coming from all different types of schools.
Maths, however, is definitely 'accelerated' but still doable.
Teachers are generally approachable but they definitely have a strict approach to not emailing before/after hours (so from 8:00am-4:20pm)
With sport, athletics & swimming are held at Lakeside Stadium and MSAC respectively. Cross Country is non-compulsory and organised externally.
As you would be able to see from a map of the school, Mac.Rob is conventionally 'small'. So we don't have a playground or an oval which is a bit annoying but I can say that the library, while small (again) is nice!
Year 9s get 2x55 minute practical lessons for sport each week & connect is just about wellbeing techniques and mindfulness.
