Reading by the Lake

Each year the P&C generously dontate $25 worth of books to each student. The students chose their books from a recent Scholastic Bookclub catalogue. The books will be presented to the students on Thursday 12 September. Each student is asked to bring in a bag with their name on it, so the books can be bagged up.

No Hat Play in the Shade

Mulwala Public School ncourages the students to be sun safe. The UV Index is continuing to rise. The students are expected to wear hats when the UV rating is 3 or above. They are asked to bring hats to school every day. Currently the UV ratng is about 5 during break times.

School uniforms

We have an increasing number of students coming to school not wearing the school uniform. I encourage all students to wear the school uniform to show pride in our school. The school has a second hand clothing pool if any families require extra uniforms.

End of term

The last day of Term 3 is Friday 27 September. The students will be invited to wear their favourite footy/netball clothes and make a donation to the Fight Cancer Foundation to assist kids with cancer. The P&C will provide a footy themed lunch.

Students will return to school on Monday 14 October.

Lost Property

There is a large amount of lost property at school. Please encourage your child to retreive their lost items.

COVID 19 Advice

Students and staff should stay home when sick. Students, staff and visitors should only attend school when feeling well and symptom-free. Follow NSW Health advice on Testing and what to do if you have COVID-19

Parents and carers of children with persistent or ongoing COVID-19 symptom should discuss these with their local health care professional. These symptoms may be related to other illnesses (such as allergies or hay fever) and benefit from treatment and management by a doctor.

From the start of 2024, rapid antigen tests (RAT) are no longer available free of charge to schools. NSW Health recommend Testing for COVID-19 if you have symptoms and are at higher risk of serious illness.

Moodamoot (farewell)
