Murphy

This cute lovable creature entered our school ready to work. Yes Murphy is not just an adorable fluff ball but he is also going to be a part of our school and will help students alongside 

our other well-being programs. You will find Murphy hanging out in each of the classes, sitting with students when they’re doing work or playing and patting him when students are feeling upset. He has also been seen walking a few laps of the oval helping students to feel back in the Green Zone or 

simply for a ‘brain break!’ If you're wondering what Murphy's new job title is… it’s becoming a helping dog that has been trained in a course called Alpha Dog Training for dogs like him who want to learn how to help people. We are so excited to have Murphy join the MPRPS Community and look forward to working with him and Mrs. Naismith more closely next term. 

Student Voice 

• Alisha - I enjoy Murphy because he helps me read and clam down
• Catherine - Murphy is my favourite because he helps other people out. It is kind of like Let’s Talk but with a dog.
