The canteen will be closed next Friday 15th December. It is celebration day and most year levels are having a special day. The last day of trading for the canteen this year will be December 19th.
PARENT HELPERS MORNING TEA | 12th DECEMBER 10.45 am - 11. 30 am
All parents/carers who have volunteered their time in any way at Milgate this year are invited to a morning tea put on by the staff of Milgate. Please come along so we can say thank you for your support this year. The morning tea will be held in the staffroom.
TEACHER PRESENCE
Wondering what present to give your child’s teacher? Want an alternative to See if they have signed up for ‘Teacher Presence’ where you can donate to a charity on their behalf
Milgate would like to support some of our teachers again this year who have chosen to register with Teacher Presence. For those new to Milgate, Teacher Presence is an organisation that provides an alternative to the traditional end-of-year gift-giving.
It allows a teacher to nominate one of four charities supported by this organisation.
Families then have the opportunity to donate to their teacher’s chosen charity, in place of the optional present they may have otherwise purchased.
If you’re interested, we would encourage you to check the website to see if your child’s teacher has registered. https://www.teacherpresence.org/. Please note that participation is completely voluntary, so you may or may not find your teacher’s name on the list – we just wanted to make you aware that some of our staff are choosing to be involved. You can find further information in the attached document.
