Living at Lockington

Our 2020 MITS year has started with the students full of energy and enthusiasm for what the year ahead will bring. It was a privilege to host the families of our 21 wonderful students for three days as they settled into Melbourne life.

The conversations and connections formed between staff, families and students in those first few days have set the foundations for a successful year.

We hit the ground running with two action packed weekends. The students have been to the BOUNCE trampoline park, enjoyed the beach at Port Melbourne, surfing lessons at the Woorrangalook Koori Surf Titles in Angleasea and a BBQ at Rick and Liz’s farm in Tuerong with the extended MITS family.

After school there has been lots of basketball, football, running around, fitness sessions, craft activities and board games. Many have ventured across the road to St. Kevin’s and down the street to Citizen’s Park as we begin to explore Richmond and the surrounding areas.

The students are developing strong friendships and have settled into their routines including making their beds, washing, chores, getting ready to walk to school, going to bed on time and even homework!

Congratulations to all students, families and staff on a sensational start to the year. Bring on 2020!
