2023...WE DARE YOU TO...BE RESPONSIBLE!​

The store room awakened, as the equipment took a breath
The air swept through all crisp and fresh
At Mernda Park the school term is ready
So students and staff get back to routine steady
Starting in Term 1 we are daring you all
To BE RESPONSIBLE about things, both big and small
Still using the values that show we CARE
We will demonstrate our rights and how to be fair
To work together
To be considerate and kind
To do your absolute best
Being responsible makes us shine
SO I DARE YOU TO BE RESPONSIBLE in 2023
To build yourself and your potential, to become the person that you can be!
​SUSIE ;)
