School Review Underway

2020 is a year of Review for Miners Rest Primary School.

In particular, we will be setting our new four-year direction in term two, over a series of four days.

This term is about collating evidence, feedback and data on our last Strategic Plan, implemented over the past four years.

A panel, made up of School Council President (Ben Mihail), School Council representative (David Harris),  Principal (Dale Power), Challenge Partners (Principal's - Natalie Toohey & Scott Phillips), staff, student & school community input as required and our Reviewer (Graham Broadbent - Monash University) consider all stakeholder feedback, before documenting a comprehensive and strategic approach to school improvement looking forward to the next four years.

If you have any questions or wish to be actively involved, please contact the school office (5334 6328) - I would welcome any support or feedback.
