Relieving Principal's Report
Welcome back to all. I hope you were able to enjoy some quality family time during the holidays with your loved ones. This term looks like another busy one, with excursions, sporting events, public speaking, Mudgee Beginners, not to mention all the usual end of year activities.
This week we have celebrated the positive behaviour of many students with our Term 3, PBL Assembly (photos below). We are again hosting Chatswood HS band, who are kindly providing a workshop for our band members. The PSSA boys cricket team are off to Orange with Mr Harris on Wednesday, good luck boys. The Year 4 students are heading to the Blue Mountains for their annual excursion. What an exciting start to the term!
Flavours Of Mudgee
Flavours of Mudgee was hosted on Saturday 23rd of September. Mudgee Public School showcased their community spirit, selling goodie bags to locals and tourists. It was a wonderful opportunity for our MPS staff and P and C to mingle with the local community and travelling guests and share in such a spectacular Mudgee event.
With the help of our phenomenal P and C and students, we put together goodie bags of the yummiest treats and 480 bags were sold on the day. Thank you to all the staff, students and parent community for your support in coordinating such a wonderful opportunity for Mudgee Public School.

Students are encouraged to wear pink clothes and/or accessories and donate a gold coin to this very worthy charity. There will be an array of pink treats for sale on the day, including; pink lolly bags, pink jelly cups, raspberry spiders and raspberry cordial slushies. Thank you for your support.
Grandparents Day
NSW Grandparents Day celebrates the diversity of grandparent relationships across age groups, cultural backgrounds, and geographical locations. Grandparents, grand-friends, kin, and those who take on the role of a grandparent in their family or community are recognised for their contributions.
