MGC Parents’ Association News
It’s been a busy Term 3 so far for the MGC Parents Association with majority of the Parent Social Nights being hosted by our year level Representatives and enjoyed by those who attended. These Social Nights have been a great way to casually catch up and connect with other parents and cares from your child’s year level. The Year 7 event is the last of the Social Nights which is coming up next Friday 25th August. Please RSVP https://shorturl.at/mqGQ6 we’d love to see you there!
The Staff Thank You Morning Tea, Father’s Day Breakfast and the 2023 Parents Association Grants Scheme are next on our agenda, so keep an eye on Compass for more details.

Friday 1st September Fathers’ Day Breakfast
The Parents' Association, on behalf of the whole school community, is hosting the inaugural Staff Thank You morning tea on Monday 28th August.
We hope that with your support and generosity we can create a delicious and beautiful spread of baked goods, fresh flowers and thank you cards.
The accompanying flyer provides details of how you can be involved, including a link to a sign-up sheet and some suggestions for treats you might like to provide.
The food items can be homemade or store bought but it is essential that they are provided with an ingredients list. A suggested format for the ingredients list is included in the sign-up sheet which can be printed or hand written.
Your thank you cards can be to a special teacher or staff member or a general thank you to the whole team at MGC.
If baking and writing are not for you then donations of fresh flowers, maybe from your own garden, would be lovely as we can display these on the tables with the food.
The donations need to be delivered to the school front office before 8:50am on Monday 28th August.
We hope for this to be an annual event so please support us in making year one a great success and a delightful celebration for the wonderful MGC staff.

Thank you. MGC Parents' Association
