in the hope that it may provide some balance to the misrepresentation of our school
in some of the state and national media.

Media Release
31st August 2009
Statement by Mullumbimby High School P and C Association
Mark Collinson: President.
Mullumbimby High School P and C extends its condolences to the family and friends of Jai Morcom, who passed away over the weekend.
The incident is a great tragedy, and the P & C will endeavour to support the family and the broader community in whatever way we can.
On behalf of the P & C I would like to extend my condolences to Jai's family. The incident has touched the entire community.
The P & C also gives full support to the Principal of Mullumbimby High School, its leadership team, and the rest of the staff.
As President, I am confident in the way student welfare and discipline is managed at MHS.
As a parent, I would like to state, that media reports of of a culture of violence and bullying are not reflective of the actual school culture at Mullumbimby High School.
Friday’s incident is very rare, and is certainly not typical of the school culture.
We are all shocked, and extremely saddened by the events of Friday 28th August. It is important that we stick together as a broader community and support our school and its leadership as well as its staff and students.

As they rock out to these multiplication tunes, learners develop quick, accurate recall for multiplication facts through 12.
Featuring today's "dance rap" style that kids love, this program contains tables through 12, and each group of facts has its own unique rap song.
Positive lyrics, super-cool rap music, and high-energy action make these multiplication rap songs irresistible. Multiplication facts through twelve are easy to learn and remember with these fun rap songs—a different one for each set of rap facts.

The participating teachers can already be proficient users of ICT or teachers who would like to develop their skills further.Having a huge range of skills in ICT is not a requirement of the project.
It's more about enthusing teachers to want to know more about how ICT can be integrated in Maths, History, English and Science.
The Workshops are free. Participants include schools in 20 locations nationally, with every state and territory represented including locations such as Bairnsdale, Warrnambool, Cairns, Townsville, Dubbo, Armidale, Lismore, Newcastle, Darwin, Katherine, Alice Springs. Geraldton, Albany and Bunbury.
