Margaret River Montessori School

Margaret River Montessori student Tarranjitt Gill was very excited to recieve a certificate of accomplishment from Google Australia in recognition of her Google design being selected as a State and Territory  finalist in the 2009 ‘Doodle 4 Google - My wish for Australia’ competition (in the year 4-6 category).
Students from year 1 - 10 Australia wide were invited to transform the Google logo to reflect ‘their wish for Australia’, create a title for their work and write a supporting ststement of no more than 50 words explaining the wish they portrayed in their design and why.
Tarranjitt’s colourful design reflected a wetland and water wise theme - two areas she believes are important for Australia’s future.Doodle 4 Google judges were Ken Done, Anne Geddes and Hugh Evans.

Saturday 15th August

A terrific evening was had by all who attended the School’s History Book and CD Launch on Saturday evening. It was lovely to see so many old faces and new ones enjoying looking through the School’s photos and memorabilia. The book /CD of the School’s History from 1992 to 2008 is a tribute to all who have both contributed to and supported our wonderful school. Thanks to past parent and teacher Clare Johnson researching and compiling the book with the children and to Liz Johnson for collating and designing the cover of the Book and CD.

Our two new refurbished classrooms and resource rooms made possible by the Federal Government Building Education Revolution National School Pride Funding of $75,000 were officially opened on the evening.

Upper Primary walked to the Shire’s Rain Garden on Wednesday to continue their involvement and upkeep of this beautiful area, by planting out more native species.

On Friday Junior and Middle Primary Children took to the Rails to Trails just north of town for some serious digging and planting of native seedlings, including Jarrah and Marri trees. The childrens’ enthusiasm was unstoppable with many planting five or six seedlings. We hope to see the trees flourishing when we walk or ride by in the coming years.
