Loddon Mallee Regional (LMR) Netball Report

R. Morgan

Well done to the Year 10 boys who smashed their competition and have qualified for the State Titles.  A great team effort.  A big thank you to Mrs McPhee for coaching the boys team to improve their skills for the event.  Also special mention to Aalen Davis who won the MVP for the day. 

The Year 7 girls team also competed at the LMR.  They performed exceptionally well, unfortunately they didn't continue to the next level.  Well done girls on a great effort.  A big thank you to Mrs Dunne for her expert umpiring throughout the day and thank you also to Mrs Carmes who trained the Year 7 girls.

Secondary Helpers

R. Morgan

Last week, over sixty of our secondary students either assisted Mildura West Primary School or Merbein P-10 Primary Section with their Athletic Carnivals. The assistance and efforts by the helpers ensured both events ran smoothly and were enjoyable and rewarding for the primary students.  The school received numerous glowing comments from parents and staff about the secondary helpers and how wonderful they were, so a big well done!  Tomorrow the school will acknowledge those student helpers in the Orange Building with some pizzas at lunch time.

Doctors in Secondary Schools

Remember our doctor’s room is open every Tuesday from 10am–3pm for secondary students.  Student appointments can be made through staff at the school or by calling the Merbein Family Practice on 03 5025 2511 or students can simply drop into the rooms at recess or lunch on Tuesdays. This is a great service, not just when students are sick but for things like prescriptions, asthma and anaphylaxis plans, catch-up immunisations, mental health and any other issues facing secondary students.  Students will need to give their Medicare Card details to the GP clinic.  An easy way to do this is for the student to take a photo of the card on their phone.  Parents do not need to attend appointments with students but are very welcome to come along if the students wish.
