All these children as-sured me they were coming to Carols night…..I hope it isn’t a surprise for any of you!

We have been practising our Carol sing-ing each morning, Bathurst Chamber Orchestra, and the Carillon Show band are both coming to Millthorpe for the night. Chloe and Jason Roweth will also be performing a variety of Australian Carols. Electric candles will be available for $3, and song books will be on hand. Other wise the night is free. Put the date aside ….. THURSDAY 15TH DECEMBER, see you at Redmond Oval, at 8pm! If the weather is inclement, we will notify you on Thursday afternoon, with a note in the bag. Fingers crossed for a clear evening.

Term 4 Week 10

Hi All,

Wow, what a term it’s been for MPS and the P&C. I am looking forward to the break over xmas as I’m sure you all are.

I would like to thank all the teachers and students for putting on a won-derful presentation night. It never ceases to amaze me how the MPS teachers manage reports, markets, end of year clean up and then coming up with these amazing acts on presentation night.

Good luck to all the Year 6’s who embark on the next stage of their lives. I’m sure you will all take away wonderful memories of MPS.

Congratulations to Holly Jones, Donny Freeman, Claudia Wilson, Joe Kay & Harry Ellem on their new roles on the 2012 leadership team. You guys will do a wonderful job and we are blessed to have such a wonderful Year 6 2012 to support you in your new roles.

We will be having a P&C monthly meeting mid February. We welcome all to our meetings and are looking forward to seeing some new faces in 2012.

If you still have volunteers shirts from the markets could you please drop them into the school this week, I don’t want to have to start ring-ing people.

Pix in Stix is on 24th February. If you own a business and would like to organise some advertising for the night please contact Jo Copelin 63663738.

Finally I would like to wish you all a safe and happy xmas and holiday break. Thank you for your continued support through out 2011.
