This week we have returned to a range of activities and events across the school. This began with our MRISA Senior Football competition. On Thursday we had a visiting clarinet player from Juilliard for the day and then our Korean Cultural Day. In addition our Grade 12 students have been preparing for their final exams which begin today. We wish them well.
