Dear Parents, My second week at Mulyan PS has gone as fast as the first! I’m starting to match faces to names and meet more parents in the playground. Thanks to everyone who has approached me to say hi… I promise I’ll remember names soon! Last night saw our Kindergarten Orientation parent meeting. What an amazing turn out! I was so impressed at the number of parents who turned up….even those who were ‘old hands’ at the whole Kinder thing. Thank you to Mrs Murray, Mrs Smith and Mrs Keefe who organised an informative and interesting session. I think all of our parents, especially our new ones left feeling that much more confident sending their little ones off to school and have much more knowledgeable about the fabulous opportunities we offer here at Mulyan PS! Last Saturday also saw the Cowra Show come to town and Mulyan PS had an amazing stall. It was so creative and really showcased the wonderful talent we have here at Mulyan! A BIG thank you to Mrs Keefe and Mrs Jeffries for coordinating the event and thanks to all staff and community members who helped set up, dismantle and man the stall on the day. It was a big job. Congratulations to Mrs Statham, Mrs Baratto and the Mulyan debating team on their successful win in the Interzone final last Thursday. They are one of only 6 schools left standing in a comp that started with 44 teams!
Brilliant work! A huge THANK YOU to Mrs Statham and Mrs Baratto for coordinating and hosting the debating day last Thursday. It was a massive amount of work and a VERY long day. Thanks for the hard work! I recently surveyed the entire Mulyan PS staff to help me get a better idea about our school, for our School Plan. One of the questions I asked was what they saw as Mulyan PS’s strengths…it was nearly unanimous that our experienced and dedicated teachers and our brilliant supportstaff were seen as our greatest strength and I couldn’t agree more. Coming in a close second was the amount of green space and playground areas we have here at the school and room for kids to just run and kick a ball. We are a lucky school to be able to offer such resources and facilities. I will endeavour to send a similar survey out in NEXT Week’s newsletter to get the most important feedback from you, the parents and community. Finally, the Mulyan P&C is meeting next Wednesday 25th October at 7pm. I hope to meet a lot more parents and community members on the evening. Keep an eye on upcoming events as the calendar is filling up fast! Again, any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to contact me through the office. Regards, Jodee Burcher Relieving Principal
