Dear Families,
Welcome to term 4. There’s a buzz in the air as we begin wrapping up the year.
Night on the Green
Wow, what a night! To say this night was a success is an understatement. For the families who attended, I think our common thought would be that the night was a fun filled experience for all. I’m not sure how I can possibly say thank you and pass on our gratitude to the Parent and Friends committee who spent hours and hours organising the evening. Alisha Forrest was the driving force behind this very successful school community event. With her dedicated, (very large group of enthusiastic parents), they turned an idea into a phenomenal night of fun. I cannot say thank you enough. Apart from the fact this was also a fundraising activity for the school, it was more about providing our school community with the opportunity to come together, enjoy one another’s company and letting the kids have the freedom to have fun with their friends in a safe environment. Thank you to everyone who contributed in making this event one of the most enjoyable fundraisers of all time. The P&F will determine how the funds raised will be used.
Athletics
Congratulations to the students who travelled to Epping to compete in the regional athletic sports. According to the feedback from the kids, MPS “smashed” the relay races winning 5 of the 6 races. It must be our high altitude mountain air that provides oxygen to those red blood cells (the Kenyans better start watching their backs!). Most importantly, our athletes represented their school and district outstandingly. This Friday, the students who achieved first and second placings, make their way towards Albury. At each stage, the competition steps up. Good luck to the athletes and most importantly make your school, district and region proud of your sportsmanship. Many thanks to Sally Kelly (PE teacher) and the parents for accompanying the students.
New Building
Our building is only a few weeks from being handed over to the school. The landscaping is being completed and in the next two weeks, we will see spray painting of the quadrangle. Grass is being sown so there will continue to be areas roped off, however the wait will be worth it. Once we have the official hand over, we will open the building so students and parents may have a look.
Prep students for 2020
If you have a prep student beginning in 2020 and you have not yet officially enrolled them, please do so as soon as possible. We are 3 prep students from having a fourth prep class. Another grade means employing another teacher, which means we will need to advertise and have interviews. This process takes several weeks so it’s very important that we have this information within the next week. Please pass this information on to any family who intend to start their child in 2020 and have not completed the enrolment process.
Cheerio and enjoy your next fortnight.
Julie
