School Council

It was wonderful to see so many families at the Open Night last night, and meet many families who are considering MPS for their children for 2023. 

Likewise, seeing the joy on our students faces at the Disco last Friday was fantastic. After so long of not being able to hold events, it has been lovely to see our community come together for the Disco, Election Cake Stall and Working Bees. Thanks to all those in the PA and broader school community including teachers that supported those events by organising, attending, baking or fundraising. Those fundraising efforts enable us to purchase mulch, sand, plants and new basketball nets, and will provide us with opportunities to do much more in the school yard in the coming year. 

Camp Australia update

We are delighted that Camp Australia has appointed a permanent coordinator for Marlborough Primary School, Natasha (or Tash).  

Thanks to all who completed our recent OHSC survey - we have been working closely with Camp Australia to share and address the feedback provided. 

We can confirm that Camp Australia has committed to running the Rocketeers (School Holiday) program for the upcoming holidays on all days where there is at least one child booked in. However any days that don’t have children booked in they may be cancelled.  Camp Australia will review the bookings on 13th June so we encourage you to book in before then if possible. Having said that, Camp Australia understands the last minute nature of life, so bookings are available at any time.

A reminder that Camp Australia is offering an all-day program on Wednesday 8th June, which is a pupil free day at MPS – bookings can be made via the app under the OHSC tab. 

We understand that there has been some issues with availability on the Camp Australia app – again, we have worked closely with CA on this, and we understand it is now resolved.
