Mirka Mora
— Our Tribute To A Great Richmond Artist
Mirka Mora was an amazing, generous and talented member of our local community whose art inspired us all. Our school was keen to honour her memory and so it was decided to ask some of our own talented artists to create a tribute to this incredible Richmond identity. The presentation of this work was held during the last assembly in Term 1. The painting is an adaptation of her work, "Young Lovers in the Garden". The project was a collaboration between Mirka’s family, our Art teacher Chony and was painted by a talented team of students, including Mirka’s granddaughter, Carlotta (3/4E.) William Mora spoke at the presentation and the family has donated a plaque in honour of the occasion to be installed beside the work. The painting will be hung in the school's courtyard for all students and families to enjoy.

Walkathon May 16
This important fund raising event relies on family support for our
students, particularly in gaining sponsors. Booklets have been sent
home with each child to start finding these – they may be members of
your extended family or even your neighbours! We also need volunteers

families are still able to attend this Sunday when we will spreading soft
fall and topping up our sandpits.
Friday Afternoon Assemblies
The move of Friday Assemblies to 3.00pm will continue while we seek
feedback on if it should continue. It has proved a popular change for
teachers as it has provided the opportunity to plan for uninterrupted
learning during the Friday 9.00am session which has proved much more
effective in finishing off the week’s work. It has had a mixed response
from students, though our Year 6 Leaders have appreciated the extra
time to prepare for their Assembly Reports. We’d now like to hear from
parents. Please access the online form below where you may tell us
what you think. https://forms.gle/FgLifozb8eYmaLucA
