Acting Principal's Report 

I acknowledge the First Peoples of our nation and the traditional custodians of the land on which our beautiful school stands, The Wathaurong people. I pay my respects to the Wathaurong people and acknowledge their contribution and care of the land and waters on which our school community works and lives. I pay my respects to their Elders past, present and emerging, and acknowledge and thank all First Nations people within the Miners Rest School Community.

2022 Year 6 Graduates

On behalf of our school community, I'd like to wish our 2022 graduating class of students all the best in their new secondary settings.

I look forward to hearing of their successes, achievements, adventures and tales as we continue to track them through their secondary years.

We are all very proud of you and are confident your grounding throughout your years at MRK-6 will hold you in good order for the challenges and experiences ahead of you in the future.

Transitions

Congratulations to students for successfully transitioning into their new classrooms yesterday, for half the day.

It was great to provide an opportunity for our students to sit inside their new classroom, with their new teacher for 2023, alongside their peers and friends.

Thank you to our parent / carer group, who have positively promoted the new beginnings, opportunities and relationships that present in this process.

Presentation Night

I'm looking forward to our school community gathering together tonight to reflect on the year that was, celebrate student achievement, scholarship recipients and congratulate 2023 student leaders.  We will enjoy Christmas carols together and perhaps even a visit from a very important man in red!

As our family picnic has been cancelled due to weather, our Presentation Evening will commence at 6:00pm.

See you there!

Another year of learning concludes...

Congratulations to all students, families and staff for all that you have achieved throughout this year at school. 

Thank you to our staff and families for your commitment to the growth and wellbeing of our students.

I wish you all a wonderful Christmas and festive season, full of fun, family and friends.

I can't wait to see you all refreshed and ready to go in 2023, from Monday 30th January.

Departing families

I'd like to extend a special mention to all our departing families also.  Thank you for your partnership, contributions and input to MRK-6.  

We wish you all the best in your varying transitions to new settings.
