INTERSCHOOL NETBALL TOURNAMENT – TUESDAY 20 MAY
We are calling all parents to give a little bit of time to assist with the Netball Tournament which MCS can use as a fundraiser.

MCS have been given the opportunity to run the canteen for the tournament day so we need bakers, sandwich makers, drink dispensers, food sellers and pie warmers on the day.

If you can lend a couple of hours on this day then please leave your name with June at reception so we can organise a task force. 

Thanks in advance, Isabelle.

PTA MEETING – FRIDAY 11 APRIL
 You are invited to join us for our first meet of the year.  Be part of the organising committee for MCS.  Come join us on Friday after assembly in the staff room to discuss ideas, help and support and organising of fundraisers for the year ahead.

If you are not able to make the meet but would like to help out and be a part of the team please let June know so we can place you on our contacts list to keep you up to date.

The more the merrier.

Thank You to The Warehouse
We were blessed this week by a generous donation of plants for our garden from The Warehouse. We so appreciate the support from our local community.

Upcoming Soup n Science and ICT Evening
On Wednesday 16th April we will be holding an important evening for all school families.
On the previous Monday 14th April you will be asked to send either vegetables or meat or bread suitable for the children to make dinner for our school families: Primarily soup and bread.

5.00 - 6.00ish: Dinner prepared by your children
6.00ish - 7.30: Hands-on workshops as below

1. How to engage with your child's learning through technology. This is important - you need to be here  so we can step you through a few processes and you are not left behind!
2. How we are developing wonder, awe and scientific dispositions and understandings at school, and how you can come along for the ride. Again, this new approach will put a skip in your step as a parent.

Please make this date a priority.

Due to the wonderful support of a number of people in the community whose children do not attend the school, the Board of Trustees, the Board of Proprietors and members of the Snells Beach Baptist Church, we are delighted to report that we have a number of children sponsored or part sponsored, and that there is now more funding available. Thank you to those generous individuals and groups. Please spread the news that scholarships and part sponsorships are available at MCS.
