Retirement of Mr Malanczak 

On Friday 5 August we hosted a Sundowner to officially farewell Mr Malanczak from Marangaroo Primary School and into his new role in full time retirement.  In his time away from MPS he and his wife Hilda have travelled, have spent more time with their grandchildren and on their property down south.  He is thoroughly enjoying life on the other side of 33 years in education.  

We presented him with a flowering peach tree to plant on his property down south and unveiled our "Buddy Bench".  He was always an advocate of having someone to talk to and was sure to ask  "are you  OK?" We thank him for his commitment and caring of the students whilst here at MPS.  On behalf of the staff, parents and students we wish him all the very best for his retirement.

Successful Student Awards

At our last assembly on Friday 5 August we had presentations for successful Student Awards.  Their smiling, proud faces are below.  Congratulations to you all.

2023 Year 7 Enrolments

All high schools in the local area are now accepting enrolments for 2023.  Don't miss out on the school of your choice by being late with your enrolment. 

Phasing out cash payments

For various operational reasons, including the closure of local Bank branches, we have decided to phase out the acceptance of cash for school fees and excursions throughout the remainder of this year. We request that, where possible, all families make payments by direct deposit to the school bank account or through EFTPOS in the front office. 

Reminder: If you are making direct deposits to the school account, can you please ensure that you provide a reference that includes the CHILD'S NAME AND YEAR GROUP to allow for timely processing. 

For example: J Citizen yr 1
