MULYAN PUBLIC SCHOOL NEWSLETTER

Dear Parents,

Welcome back to Term 2. I hope that everyone had a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday and that you are ready for a very, very busy term. This week starts off with a few sports events and then continues on with lots of other sports, academic and cultural events over the next 10 weeks. With this newsletter is a calendar with information that is current for Term 1. As dates become known we will also let you know about them. Thank you to the people who responded to our survey regarding our online newsletter. The overwhelming majority of respondents were happy with the way that newsletters are now being distributed and so we will continue with the online delivery. If you indicated that you would like your newsletter emailed this can be arranged. Thank you to those who responded to our survey. This term’s newsletters will be published on 6th May, 20th May, 3rd June and 17th June. ANZAC Day This Saturday, marks the 100th Anniversary of the first ANZAC landing and we will once again be represented in the Annual ANZAC Day march. We would like to encourage as many students as possible to join us for the march and to show respect to the returned servicemen and women by taking part in this very important ceremony. The students need to meet at the front of the Services Club in Brisbane Street. They will then march to the cenotaph in Vaux Street for the ANZAC Day ceremony and they will then be dismissed at approximately 12 noon into the supervision of their parents. All students need to wear full winter uniform. We will also be having an ANZAC Day ceremony here at school on Friday, 24th April at 11.50am in the VTS. This will involve all students from Kindergarten to Year 6. Our hall is relatively small and from past experience this means that the students are tightly packed in. There will only be a few seats available to parents who wish to join us. School Photos This year, our school photos will be taken on Thursday, 7th May. They will once again be taken by Cliff Dykes Photography. All information will be sent home closer to the time.

NAPLAN A reminder that the NAPLAN assessments for all students in Year 3 and 5 will take place during the week beginning 11th May. The first assessment will be the Language Conventions and Writing assessment on Tuesday, 12th May. The Reading assessment will take place on Wednesday, 13th May and the Numeracy assessment will take place on Thursday,14th May. There will also be the opportunity for a catch up day on Friday, 15th May. If you have any questions or queries about these assessments please contact me at school. P & C News At the end of Term 1 the Mulyan P&C held their Annual General Meeting. At this meeting a new executive was elected. The following are the new officer bearers for 2015: President: Jenny Melhuish Secretary: Nikki Wilson Treasurer: Christie Anderson Publicity: Cath Sutherland The P&C is a great supporter of the school and I’m sure the newly elected executive will lead the P&C well. Don’t forget to save the day 8th May for the P&C Diamond Debutante Ball. Please support this wonderful event. All proceeds will be directed straight back to the school to benefit the students.
