Respectful Relationships Parent Information Session
Our school commenced delivering the Respectful Relationships program at the beginning of 2019, with training for staff and an information session for parents to support implementation. Given recent parent enquiries, The Department of Education Regional Staff will facilitate an online Respectful Relationships Parent Information Session, directly addressing Topic 7 and 8 of the program.
The information session will be held online on Wednesday October 30 at 6:00pm.

Uniform Policy & School Hats
Our current MRPS Uniform Policy was developed in consultation with, and ratified by, the Miners Rest Primary School Council, in 2022. This policy is currently being reviewed for update in 2025, with input from students, staff and families being sought.
As per the Victorian Education SunSmart Policy, staff and students are required to wear hats between September 1 and April 30 of each year. The expectation at our school is that our students, as per the Uniform Policy, will wear a navy blue broadbrimmed hat. We have school hats for sale, as an option at the administration office.
Student Led Conferences
Students and families in S1 have the opportunity to book a Student Led Conference for Monday November 4 from 12:00 pm until 7:00 pm. Online bookings are now open and will close on Thursday 31st October at 4:00pm.
K-F Transition
This Friday, we will host all of the children enrolled to commence Foundation with us in 2025. If you have any children, or you know of any families with children, that are yet to enrol for 2025 Foundation, please reach out and encourage them to do so as soon as possible.
Assembly
We look forward to families joining us for Assembly this week.
Enjoy the rest of the week,
Kylie Nissen.
