Variety Night Success!

 

What a fantastic couple of nights we had at the Mildura Arts Centre!! With audiences of close to 500 on both nights our students had the opportunity to perform and showcase their talents in a wonderful atmosphere. Thank you to all those families who came along to support our students.

These nights don’t happen without a lot of hard work, preparation and team work. I would like to thank all of those families who have assisted by providing costumes for the performance and all of our staff for their work to assist with the production and organisation of the evening. Most of all a huge thank you to Amanda Gratton, Josh Hudson and Stephen Pay for the enormous amount of time and energy they have put into supporting our students with their performances. They did a wonderful job once again.

Asthma - Thunderstorm Alert 

 

We are currently in the peak season for Thunderstorm Asthma, and with the large number of dust storms we are also experiencing, it is timely to re-visit your Asthma Plans.  If your child has Asthma please ensure the school has an up-to-date Asthma Management Plan and that they bring their reliever medication to school with them.  Please contact your doctor if you need to update your child’s plan.

Victorian Government's New Mobile Phone Policy

 

As you may be aware, the Victorian government has announced a new mobile phone policy that will require students to switch their phones off and securely store them away during the school day if they choose to bring them to school.

The policy is designed to support teaching and learning in an environment that is free from unnecessary distractions, disruptions and student inattention caused by the urge to check their phones. At recess and lunch times, students will be better-placed to communicate with each other face to face and/or be involved in activities rather than being focused on a device or on social media.

Details about the Merbein P-10 2020 Phone Policy will be available in the coming weeks.
