MRA survey – a Leader in Me initiative
As you know our school’s main wellbeing program is Leader in Me, which teaches 21st-century leadership and life skills to students and creates a culture of student empowerment based 
on the idea that every child can be a leader.
Our School will be conducting surveys to learn more about key areas of strength and areas of needed growth in our School. In order for us to have a holistic picture of what is going on in our School, we are asking all full-time staff members, parents/guardians, and students (in Year 4 and upwards) to participate.
Parent participation
If you decide to participate, you will be asked to complete a survey (without sharing your name or other identifying information) that will be available through the link below. The survey is completely voluntary, but we do hope to get feedback from one member of every household.
The parent/guardian survey takes about 12 minutes to complete and will ask you questions about your child and about his or her experience in our School. If you have more than one child attending, you will be asked to think about the oldest child’s experiences as you answer questions related to his or her growth.
Please complete the survey by 12.00 pm Friday 16 July 2021. Thank you in advance for your participation.

Year 3 excursion – Kamay National Park
As part of their transdisciplinary unit, First Contacts – Looking Through the Eyes of Others, Year 3 went on a magnificent excursion to Kamay National Park this week with the aim of being able to identify and synthesise the multiple perspectives in relation to colonisation.
The learning began with an interactive presentation about Australian explorers and the perspectives of the first Australians. They then dressed up in colonial costumes and engaged in a range of immersive activities. After this, the group followed Captain James Cook’s footsteps, discovering more about the journey and investigated the observations of Sir Joseph Banks in the natural environment. A fabulous day was had by all.
