Transition Day Thursday While our Year 6 students will have a whole day at the MRHS as part of their transition to high school, the rest of the school will also have a taste of what it is like to be a year older. While classes are not yet established children will have a trial of the grade they are going into next year. Therefore kinder students experience life in a Year One class, and Year One experience what is like being a big Year Two student, and Years Two right through to Five will all move up a grade. This gives students an insight into what the rooms look like, what different playgrounds are like and they get to mix with students from other classes. We look forward to an interesting morning and we also wish our Year Six students good luck on their transition day.

Uniform shop hours There has been a slight change in the hours the Uniform shop opens: Tuesday 9am - 10am Thursday 2pm - 3pm A huge thank you to Debra for volunteering her time running and ordering the uniforms. Please see Debra if you would like to volunteer in the uniform shop. Thank you. Melyssa Sarkis, P&C President
