MPS Newsletter - Week 7, Term 4 - 25 November
Principal's Report
Our Presentation Day is just around the corner! THURSDAY 8th December. The presentation will again take place during the day time with Years 3-6 at 9:45am and K-2 at 12:00pm. Parents of award recipients will receive a personalized invitation next week. For now, please keep the date free and I look forward to celebrating all student achievements this year.
5/6E Night of the Notables: I thoroughly enjoyed my visit last night to 5/6E’s Night of the Notables. A really fabulous showcase of what public education is all about with students and their parents celebrating really rich learning.
Each of the students were tasked with researching a notable inventor. They had to become an expert in all things related to the inventor and their invention.
Dressed in character as the inventor, they delivered a presentation to their families.
From Mary Anderson to Thomas Edison and everyone in between. We had the inventor of shopping trolleys, x-ray, VR and the piano all covered.
Well done 5/6E … congratulations!
Executive Update: We have recently ran expressions of interest for relieving Executive positions in 2022. Mrs O'Hara will continue as our additional Deputy Principal in the primary and Mrs Meers will continue to relieve as Assistant Principal Curriculum Instruction. Mrs Caligari will relieve as Early Stage 1 AP and in Stage 2 we will welcome to our school Mr Grant Hough as relieving AP. Grant will join us from Abbotsford Public School where he has spent the last 4 years on their school executive. I’m sure Mr Hough will feature in an early newsletter next year. Please join me in welcoming Mr Hough.

P&C Meeting: Our final P&C meeting for the year will take place this Monday evening @ 6pm in the new Before and After School Care Hub. This is a great opportunity to check out the facility, meet the centre manager Alana and find out all about the great work the P&C does. Catering will be provided to celebrate the end of a successful year!!
The MPS P&C is searching for a new President, Secretary and Treasurer for 2023! A number of current executive have been involved for several years and are moving on to other ventures, so this leaves open an opportunity for a refresh of the P&C and how it will operate in 2023. The roles will not start until March 2023 but we need to know we have genuine interest now!!! Please contact me if you have any interest or questions about the role. The advertisement closes on Friday 26 November.
If you cannot make the meeting, please contact the P&C via email: mudgeepublicschool@pandcaffiliate.org.au

Christmas Card Competition: Congratulations to Maggie Blackman from 5/6E who was awarded 3rd place in Dugald Saunders Christmas Card Competition.
