The land, the animals, and our people.

Suspected cases of Chicken pox

It has been brought to our attention that there has been a possible case of Chicken Pox (also known as Varicella) in the school. We have attached a copy of a fact sheet produced by the Western Australia Department of Health for your information. This is a common, acute, viral infection and if your child shows any symptoms as outlined on the fact sheet, we suggest that medical advice be sought.

Payment for Incursions and Excursions

Parents we remind you that since June 2024, MPS was required to become a cashless school. This decision was made for a variety of operational reasons, including the closure of local Bank branches and risk mitigation.

When payments are requested for school incursion or excursions, they can be made via direct credit to the schools account or via EFTPOS at the front office.

Lunch specials that are offered from time to time are made available through the P&C Association, which is not operated by the school and a cash option is offered for these. Payments for these are NOT to be made to the school's bank account.

WA Student Assistance Payment

The WA Student Assistance Payment helps parents and carers with cost-of-living pressures associated with sending their children to school.
