Welcome Back - Week 1, Term 4, 2025
Principal's Message
Welcome to Term 4. I trust you all had a lovely, relaxing break and enjoyed the beautiful spring weather. I want to start by thanking all the volunteers who helped at the P&C canteen for State 7s in the holidays. We really appreciate your time and commitment to our school.
We are gearing up for a really exciting Term 4. Year 4 kick things off with their overnight excursion to Burrendong Dam and Wellington Caves this week - Have Fun Year 4!! Year 3 will also be heading out to Ganguddy in Week 3 for their excursion and Kindergarten will enjoy their annual Pirate Day in Week 3. Year 5 have their camp to Sydney Sport Academy later in the term and we will be holding another Cudgegong Zone PSSA Gala Day for Cricket, Touch Football and Netball.
Mudgee Beginners gets under way for our 2026 Kindergarten students, Year 2 have Swim School, Year 6 have their end of year celebrations at Tree Tops Adventure Park in Sydney, as well as their Year 6 Farewell. K-2 will also attend the Brothers 3 Pantomime to wrap up the year. We look forward to sharing many of these experiences with you all, as well as all the important learning that is taking place in the classrooms each and every single day.
Fun Day Re-Cap: Our Fun Day held on the last day of Term 3 was a fantastic success! Stage 3 raised a total of $4327.65; I want to commend our Stage 3 students for their outstanding effort in managing the stalls and demonstrating excellent behaviour. Year 6 students have chosen to purchase a refrigerated drink refiller for the playground with part of the funds raised. The remaining money will help reduce Year 6 costs and provide financial assistance for upcoming excursions.
Swim Testing: Swim testing will take place this Wednesday for Years 3, 4, and 5. It is essential that all students attend, as the results are required before our upcoming excursions involving water sports and activities. Please ensure your child brings their swimmers and towel, as they will be walking to the pool from school. Year 4 students, in particular, must be present for this testing, as their camp is scheduled for Thursday and Friday this week.
PBL and SRC Assembly: Our PBL and SRC Assembly is scheduled for Wednesday morning at 9:45 am. Students receiving awards should have already received their invitations last term. Parents of new SRC members are warmly invited to stay with their child and join us for morning tea in the staffroom. Please note, Year 3 SRC members will unfortunately be unable to attend the morning tea, due to needing to attend their swim test.
Pink Up and Grandparents Day - Save the Date: We’re excited to once again combine Pink Up Mudgee and Grandparents Day again this year on Friday, 24 October. This event will focus on raising awareness and funds for a great cause. Grandparents are invited to arrive at 10:45am to visit classrooms and join in the pink-themed celebrations. At lunchtime, Mrs Osborne’s SRC Wellbeing Group will perform their play, “The Little Mermaid.” Everyone is welcome to stay and enjoy the performance.
Mudgee Beginners: Our Kindergarten School Readiness program, Mudgee Beginners, will run for five weeks starting on Wednesday 5th November. We are thrilled to have nearly 80 enrolments for 2026 Kindergarten! Mudgee Beginners sessions will be held every Wednesday in the morning or middle session. Registration details will be sent out soon.
Enrichment Class Parent Information Session: On Tuesday 21st October at 9:20am, we will be holding an information session for current Year 4 parents who are interested in their child being placed in our enrichment class for 2026. Whilst the session is targeted at Year 4 parents, for those wanting to know more about the class, you are most welcome to attend.
Calendar of Events: Please see the attached calendar of events for Week 1 to 3. Information regarding end-of-year celebrations will be communicated shortly.
Have a great week ahead.
