Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome to edition 19 of our fortnightly newsletter. It is difficult to believe that this is the final newsletter for the school year. Teem 4 has been very busy and productive with students engaged in classroom activities, camps & excursions and special celebrations.

Construction Update & 2023 Student Placements

The construction program at New Holland Drive and Corrigans Road campuses is progressing. Staff and students who are temporarily relocated at Cranbourne Primary School and Cranbourne West Secondary College will remain there for Term 1 2023 as planned, while the buildings are completed.

We are committed to ensuring the new facilities are ready and safe for both students and staff. The Victorian School Building Authority (VSBA) will provide further updates on the progress of the new learning buildings at the beginning of Term 1 2023.

You can also expect to receive an update on the next phase of construction (commencing in Term 2 2023) from the VSBA and our builder during Term 1. I would like to thank all of our staff, students and families for your patience and commitment while the construction program continues to build new school facilities to enhance learning and build a brighter future at Marnebek School. I also wish to thank our host neighbour schools for embracing our school community. We are very grateful for your commitment to our school community.

Year 12 Graduation

Last night we formally fare-welled our Year 12 students at the Cranbourne Turf Club in a special and moving graduation ceremony. Today marks their last day here at Marnebek and we wish them all the very best as they transition into the next phase of their life.

Reports

End of Semester Reports will be available on Compass at the end of term 4. If you need assistance in how to access your child’s school report on Compass, you can get guidance here: Viewing Academic Reports
