JMSS Parent/Carer Night launches with leading climate scientist- Don’t miss out!

Dear JMSS Parents/Carers,

Join us for a relaxed and engaging evening with (Monash University), a leading climate scientist exploring drought, extreme weather and what it all means for Australia’s future.

This isn’t just a talk. It’s a chance to meet other JMSS parents/carers, share a conversation, and be part of building a stronger school community.
