Acknowledgement of Country

Milgate Primary School would like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land of the Wurundjeri People, and we would like to pay our respects to the elders both past and present. Staff, students and the school community understand that we thrive, learn and live on Wurundjeri Country and we stand with all cultures united as one.

Milgate’s Vision

To provide a dynamic, inclusive learning environment that challenges students to become inquirers, thinkers and caring young people who are able to interact in the global society with respect and intercultural understanding

From this term onwards, our school newsletter will be published fortnightly instead of weekly. This change will allow us to share more meaningful updates, highlights, and upcoming events in each edition while reducing the number of emails sent to families.

Our New Cubby House Is Here!

We’re thrilled to share that the first of our new cubby houses has now been completed! Students are already enjoying this vibrant new play space, located right next to the STEM room.

A second cubby house is scheduled to be built before the end of term, further enhancing our outdoor play areas and supporting imaginative, collaborative play for all students.

Thank you to our community for your ongoing support in helping make these fantastic additions possible!

CELEBRATING OUR 2026 SCHOOL LEADERS

We are thrilled to introduce our 2026 school leaders! This exceptional group of students stepped up to the challenge of writing and delivering inspiring speeches as part of their application process. We are incredibly proud of every student who tried out for a leadership role. Their courage and enthusiasm reflect the spirit of our school community.

Congratulations to our newly appointed leaders; we look forward to an exciting year ahead, filled with their ideas, energy, and commitment to making our school the best it can be!

Our annual end of year concert is coming up on Monday 8th December starting at 5.30pm. It is a great night for our school community to come together and listen and watch our students perform.

Students have been learning songs/acts in their Performing Arts classes and look forward to sharing these with you on the night.

Students are to wear full school uniform or a Christmas shirt.

We are doing a BBQ - Sausage in bread $3.50 and drinks $2.00 for families to purchase via EFTPOS only.

You are also welcome to bring food, but the students are not to have food when sitting with their classes.

Please ensure that your child/children are ready and seated with their teachers by 5.15 pm. We look forward to seeing you all there.

Mobile Phone Policy Reminder
