DON'T FORGET ANZAC DAY ON SATURDAY!
A MESSAGE FROM THE RSL
ANZAC Day 2020 will not look like the ANZAC Day that many of us are used to, but there will still be a Dawn Service, wreaths will be laid, the last post will be played and a minute of silence in memory of the fallen will still be observed. Despite the service community and the public being asked to stay at home, this does not mean that ANZAC Day is cancelled, it just means that ANZAC Day will be different.
Next Saturday, April 25, while you can't go to the Shrine of Remembrance or a local Dawn Service, the RSL is asking that instead you #STANDTO.
As the Last Post is played during the ANZAC Day Dawn Service at 6am (broadcast on ABC TV and local radio.) walk outside, stand in your yard, driveway, or on your balcony and observe a minute of silence in respect of our veterans.
You may like to snap a quick picture and share it on the RSL’s Facebook page using the hashtag #STANDTO or email to MPS.
Lest We Forget

CSEF
The CSEF is an annual payment to the school to be used towards camps, sports and/or excursion expenses for the benefit of eligible students.
Primary school student rate: $125
Please read the notice below to check on your eligibility.
CSEF forms are available at the office and should be returned by 30 June 2020.
Please note:
Parents (including guardians) no longer need to submit a new application form each year in most cases.
Parents only need to submit an application form in 2020 if any of these changes have occurred since 2019:
- New student enrolments: students who have started or changed schools in 2020 or if the parent did not apply for CSEF at the school in 2019
- Changed family circumstances: such as a change of custody, change of name, concession card number, or new siblings commencing at the school in 2020
