PRINCIPAL’S REPORT

The start of Term 2 is always an exciting time at Mooroolbark College as we celebrate and share with the community the many wonderful things we do here at the College.

On Monday 1st May, the College held its annual Open Night. It was exciting to see over 500 people come through our doors from many different primary school settings. I was fortunate enough to meet and talk to many people throughout the night. Our goal for this newsletter is to share a little from the night with our current parents and students. 

I want to thank the 100 students who attended and helped out on the night. It was great that so many students shared their experiences of Mooroolbark College. I am also grateful to the Mooroolbark College staff for their attendance, who once again showcased the College for our community. Finally, my thanks goes to the Mooroolbark College Parents Association who volunteered their time to welcome our visitors on the night. 

We are very proud of those who represented the College at the Lilydale ANZAC Dawn Service and Mooroolbark ANZAC Service, laying wreaths in both services. It was heartening to see our students involve themselves on this day, reflecting on the sacrifices others made. 

Our building works is finally coming to an end with the Library, Wellbeing Centre, Biik and Ngawan House office refurbishment nearly complete. We are very excited to see the advancement over the term. We are on track to see it open at the start of Term 3. 

Tuesday 16th May, we recognised the extraordinary contributions of our Educational Support Staff at Mooroolbark College for their continued support of teaching and learning. Our Educational Support staff received a token of our appreciation for all their efforts. 

Again, thank you to our whole community for your continued support of teaching and learning at Mooroolbark College.
