Myrniong - Early Learning and Primary

Staffing

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mrs Dee Gerring and Mrs Peta Alexander for their excellent contributions to Learning Support and the Year Two classroom. Both ladies have been welcome additions to the Myrniong team and we thank them for their collegiality, professionalism and teaching over the past 10 weeks. I would also like to thank Mrs Jenni Pike for returning to the Junior School to cover for Mrs Natalie Povey, who is recovering from a cycling accident.

A Touch of Pink

On Tuesday June 19th, Learmonth House Captains Amelie Hiscock and Ava Mould organised a ‘Touch of Pink’ fundraiser to support the National Breast Cancer Foundation . The girls and their Year 5 colleagues did a wonderful job of advertising the event, selling cakes, biscuits and pink merchandise and organising a mum’s walk to end the day. The Junior School raised in excess of $580.00 for a very important cause- well done team!

ICAS Writing

Three Year Five students- Sophie Merrin, Jock Nicholls and Miranda Page were selected to sit the ICAS Writing paper on June 14th. The students were given 30 minutes to complete a narrative.

Holidays

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all staff, students and parents in the Junior School learning community a safe and restful winter break. Thank you all for your contributions to a busy and rewarding Term Two at Myrniong.
