EVENTS 

School-wide Positive Behaviour

Whole School Events 

Whole school events build school pride and connectedness, and bring us together as a community.  We are thrilled about the line-up of our whole school events for Term 1, and we hope you will feel the same! 

The Fathering Project (as mentioned) - Wednesday 13th March at 4.15pm to 5.15pm

Kaboom - Thursday 14th March 

Kaboom is an event of fun-filled, rotational activities on the oval.  The highly engaging and inclusive activities promote connectedness and friendships. Students wear their House colours to school for the day.  Parents are most welcome to attend.  The time of the event will be confirmed via XUNO.  House teams and colours will be confirmed to all students and families. 

Harmony Day Parade - Monday 18th March

Mackellar will have a Harmony Day Parade at assembly on Monday 18th March.  For this parade, we are requesting that students wear orange or cultural dress to school for the day.  Although students don't actually share food, they may bring a cultural lunch to eat themselves that they can speak to their class about (however bringing a cultural lunch to eat is entirely optional).

Further information will be shared about all events at assemblies, in our next newsletter edition, as well as via XUNO.

School-wide Values and Expectations

Our Term 1 focus on School-wide Positive Behaviour sets us up for the year.  Students develop an understanding of what is expected of them as they revisit, or learn for the first time if they are new to Mackellar.  We are extremely proud of our students and their class displays.  Here are some examples from across the school.

Kind Regards,

Tanya Lindsay-Clark
