Foundation News ~ Preps

The Prep students, alongside our whole school community, are celebrating National Reconciliation Week. This is something we not only acknowledge during this special week, but every day, recognising that reconciliation is a lifelong journey we must walk together.

Each morning, the Preps confidently say the Acknowledgement of Country, showing respect and gratitude for learning on Yorta Yorta land. Through picture story books, songs, and class discussions, students are learning that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples were the first peoples of this land, and that they have cared for Country for thousands of years and continue to do so today.

We have also been exploring how we can all be carers of the land by working together, showing kindness, and being inclusive of others. We are 'All In' for reconciliation!

St Mel's Breaky Club:

Come for breaky… second breakfast… or even third breakfast — all are welcome!

Our new Foundation students enjoyed trying out Breakfast Club for the first time and it’s safe to say they absolutely loved it! There were smiles, full tummies and a wonderful sense of community to start the day.

Breakfast Club is a beautiful way to gather, connect and ensure everyone begins the morning feeling nourished and ready to learn.

We look forward to welcoming more students as we continue to grow this special initiative.
