Mothers Day Stall

Calling all makers, crafters and bakers.

The mother's day stall is coming up fast and will be happening on Tuesday 3rd May. We are seeking contributions from anyone who would like to donate handmade crafts, bought items or baked goods that might be suitable for the kids to give their mums or other special person. If you're a baker, please remember to add your ingredients list. All the items will be sold for $5.

Please email marlborough.ps.pa@gmail.com with any questions or to let us know what you might be able to contribute.

Colour Fun Run

On Thursday 31st March the sun was shining for our annual Marlborough Primary School Colour Fun Run! The kids, teachers and parents had a wonderful time getting sprayed with colour as they made their way around the course.

We raised over $6,600 for the school through the efforts of the whole MPS community, their family and friends.

Thank you to all the students, teachers and parents who participated and helped on the day and with planning, setup, pack up and throwing colour. Also a special thank you to the Baker Family at Dos Amigos Catering who provided yummy food after the run and generously donated their profits to the school.

The Top 3 fundraising families from each house will be contacted in the coming weeks regarding details of the tree planting activity that will take place in Heathmont in June.

Beanie Fundraiser

One of our fundraisers for Term 2 is MPS Beanies! We will be selling these for $20 each with profits going towards fundraising for improving the outdoor areas at the school.

Beanies can be purchased through this link and they will be distributed to the children's classrooms within a week of purchase.

Please note the beanies are not compulsory school uniform and are optional.

If you have any queries please contact Erin Vistarini on 0414889153 or marlborough.ps.pa@gmail.com

Thank you

Erin Vistarini & Elisa Gatti MPS Parents Association.
