School and Kindergarten Parents and Friends Association Meeting – Thursday 13th October, 9am

The next PFA meeting will be a General Meeting which will be held on Thursday 13th October at 9am in the Davey Building Conference Room (school administration building). This is a great opportunity to meet new parents, staff and a place where you can share your ideas for fundraising and how you would like to see the money raised to be spent on your children. All parents are encouraged to attend and toddlers are welcome.

Car Parking - Rerun from the MRPS Parents Group Facebook Page

Just a quick post to inform the school community that the official “No Parking” signs have been erected along the median strip in front of the school gates. The hours that parking is not permitted are clearly marked, so please make a note of it next time you are passing by. This is for the safety of our children. Ballarat City Council visited and assessed the situation, and agreed that having kids run across the road from the school gate to get to those parked cars, with or without assistance, is dangerous. We do not want someone to get hit by a car. Please comply. Use alternative options. Now the weather is fining up, use the large carpark at the end of the street, if you can’t get a park along Dundas Street. Thanks.

School Lunches – Monday and Thursday through Quickcliq.com.au 

Lunches need to be ordered online through the website www.quickcliq.com.au. Please note: sauce is provided in each classroom, and you cannot specify which colour donut.  Some days, not all items are available or sell out quickly. We recommend to try and order as early as possible, with orders closing at 8.15am on the day of delivery. Please update your child’s profile to reflect the correct teacher and room (this saves a lot of time when the caterers are distributing the lunches into the classroom containers).
