25.01.2022 Dear Mirripoa Families, A special thanks to all of our families who continue to support their children during remote learning 2.0. A reminder that students are expected to have their camera on at all times during the ‘live’ sessions. Also students are not to change their names as they appear on the screen otherwise they will be removed from the meetings for security reasons and will be marked absent. Thank you, Mirripoa PS

25.01.2022 Dear Mirripoa Families - I hope everyone is enjoying the winter sunshine during the break. At this stage we are not impacted by the new restrictions on schools in Melbourne and the Mitchell Shire. However, we still need to follow our previous social distancing and hygiene procedures. See you on Monday.

25.01.2022 Next Friday the 17th of July is National Pyjama Day and Mirripoa PS will be participating.

23.01.2022 Dear Mirripoa Families, Thank you so much for the tremendous support that you have and continue to provide our wonderful learners during our remote learning program. We really respect and appreciate everything that you have done while completing your own work from home at the same time. This morning, Premier Daniel Andrews announced that Victorian government school students will begin a phased return to classrooms before the end of May, following advice from Victoria’s Chief... Health Officer that it is safe for the community to do so. From Tuesday the 26th of May, all Prep, Grade 1 and Grade 2 students will return to on-site learning at government schools. The next fortnight, and a pupil free day at all schools on 25th of May, will give staff, schools and families time to prepare for the change. Vulnerable students in years 3 to 6 and children in those years whose parents or carers cannot work from home, can continue to attend school on-site as needed during this period. Students in the broader year 3 to 6 cohort will continue to learn remotely until Tuesday 9th of June, to give the Government and the Chief Health Officer time to monitor and evaluate the effects that the return to school by other year levels has on the increased movement of people and transmission within the community. We will provide our families with more information as it becomes available.

23.01.2022 School resuming Thursday, 18 February 2021 Dear Mirripoa Families, Great news today that school will resume tomorrow, Thursday 18 February 2021.... With the information we currently have at hand, we remind parents/carers to wear masks inside at all times and when social distancing is not possible. As always, if any family member is displaying any signs or symptoms related to COVID-19, please keep them at home until they have a negative test result. When we receive the updated DET School Operations Guide we will pass the information as soon as possible to families. Kind regards Darryl Diment Principal

A big appreciation to everyone who completed our Remote Learning at Mirripoa Primary School Survey.

07.01.2022 This term at Mirripoa Primary School, students from Foundation to Year 6, have been exploring a variety of art ideas, materials and techniques, as well as famous artists from history. As materials have been limited at home, students were given art learning experiences that were achievable with what they have at home or around them. We are very proud to see so many wonderful artworks being created at home. We have made a little video of some of the work students have created, so that we can, as a school community celebrate the creativity of all our students! Well done to everyone and we look forward to sharing more artworks in the future. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7CzeGz_3jM

This may affect the remote learning program for some students today. We are working hard to repair the damage so we are back on line as soon as possible.
