FROM THE

ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL

GOODBYE

From the moment children start school, families are introduced to a whole new social network.

Students and their families get to know each other through play dates which as the years continue can sometimes end up in camping trips and holidays together.

Parents also get to know each other through the communications from the class reps who invited them to school functions and events where parent helpers are required. Over the years parents help out with working bees, class reading, discos and other events organised by the Social and Fundraising group of the school council and let’s not forget the carnival.

When families have 2,3 and 4 siblings, their life at the school extends over decades.  But whether you’ve been at Murrumbeena for 2 years or 20, we would like to take this moment to acknowledge the families who have been such an integral part and who are now leaving as their last child moves onto high school.

We have brand new books with a name plate inside the book that reads ‘this book has been kindly donated to MPS by the ??? family.’

These lovely year 6's accepted the books on the 2019 departing family's behalf.
