Mullaloo Heights Primary School eNewsletter

Kaya families

It is hard to believe another school year has come to an end. On Monday, you received your child's Semester Two report via email. Please remember that the link provided in the email will be active for four weeks, so be sure to download and save the report for future reference. The reports can also be accessed on Connect. I hope you will take the time to celebrate your child's growth over the year, recognizing their strengths and identifying areas that may need further attention.

I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the staff for their unwavering commitment to Mullaloo Heights, our students, and their families. Without such a dedicated team, many of the events and high-quality learning experiences would not be possible. A special thank you to the P&C for providing over $26,500 worth of equipment and funding for incursions and excursions for all students.

The School Board has been instrumental in launching the 2024-2027 Business Plan, reviewing the mobile phone policy, preparing for the public school review, and introducing the new winter jumper for the students. Thank you to the parents who nominated to become School Board Representatives. The School Board for 2025 is:

Trudy Jones (Principal)
Michael Adlam
Kate Doleman
Alison Coyle
Connor Allbury
Rhiannon Fox
Narelle Henry
Rosy Madelin
Renee Murphy

On December 6th, Mullaloo Heights Primary School celebrated the Year 6 Graduation Ceremony with great enthusiasm and pride. The event was a memorable occasion, marking the end of an important chapter for our students. Families, friends, and teachers gathered to honour the achievements and growth of our Year 6 students. The ceremony featured heartfelt speeches, awards, and a special performance by the graduates.

Following the ceremony, the students enjoyed an exciting graduation excursion to Bounce, where they had three hours of fun and adventure. It was a day filled with joy, reflection, and excitement for the future as our students prepare to embark on their next educational journey.

During Phys Ed classes students had the opportunity to participate in Squash Clinics! Inflatable courts were set up for students to see what squash courts would look like inside. Coach Caleb taught students how to hit a squash ball in the courts as well as the basic rules of the game! Students played mini squash games and a great time was had by all!

On Monday 2nd December, MHPS were lucky to have the Ocean Reef SHS Band perform for our students.

This was a perfect opportunity for students to see the Music Program at it's best. It was enjoyed by all and students got to dance away with the band.

Thankyou to all the families that came to school to assist with the mural. It was such a wonderful morning and is looking fantastic. A huge thankyou to Kerise for all her hard work with the mural in our chicken coop.

To mark the end of Kindy, the students participated in a special concert to celebrate their growth and achievements this year. Parents, grandparents, and siblings attended the concert. The children performed a selection of songs, showcasing their confidence and joy. It was evident how much they had grown, individually and as a group, throughout their first year of school.

It's been a very busy year and we really appreciate the time and effort you've all put into keeping our school community fed with awesome food. Especially all our volunteers.

Thankyou Cindy for an amazing year at M.H.P.S your hard work has been incredible.

A Big Thank You!

We just wanted to say a huge thank you to all the amazing families who contributed to our "Hamper for Hope" drive! Because of your kindness, we’ve collected 52 bags that will bring some much-needed joy to others this holiday season. Your generosity truly makes a difference, and we’re so grateful for your support.

Thanks again for helping spread hope and cheer!

Last Wednesday, The Art Studio hosted a Ceramics Exhibition with artwork created by the artists of Rooms 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. Students in Pre-Primary to Year 2 were inspired by their own imaginations and artworks included dragons, tea sets, baby birds in nests and even Santa's sleigh!. Year 3 students designed a personalised hand incorporating elements of themselves for a variety of unique pieces. Year 4 and 5 students were inspired by ceramic artist Amanda Eve and created themed Tic Tac Toe boards.

A huge thank you to all families that visited the exhibition, the artists were thrilled to have such a large number of viewers!

The students were treated to a Silent Disco on Tuesday. The students rocked out to their favourite songs and were treated to popcorn and a juice box from Big Childcare. It was a great morning.

The students from Pre-Primary to Year 6, left school on Tuesday in an explosion of colour. As with everything, they embraced the opportunity to add some new hues to their school attire and raised a total of $2564.82! This will go towards a new shed in the environmental garden and curtains for the stage in the undercover area. A big thank you to all the families at Mullaloo Heights PS.

A huge thankyou to our incoming OSHC provider Zig Zags for providing a foam station. It was a absolute hit by all students. The Colour Explosion was a fantastic way to celebrate the end of the year.

Top fundraiser students were:

1st Ari J Rm 7

2nd Aubrey L Rm 8

3rd Ella O and Cathal O Rm 6 and PP

Top classes were:

1st ECU

2nd Rm 7

3rd Rm 6

The highest fundraising class ECU were treated to icy poles and extra recess time for their efforts.

On Wednesday, 11th December, our school choir and Year 5 instrumental students had the pleasure of performing at Mullaloo Village. Despite the heat, we walked across the oval to a warm welcome from many enthusiastic fans.

Thanks to the dedication and rehearsal efforts of our students, the performance was fantastic. These events provide a wonderful opportunity for students to engage with the community and showcase their hard work and commitment.

We, along with our instrumental teachers, Vicki Powell and Claudia Muller, are incredibly proud of our students' achievements and look forward to continuing this journey next year.

Wishing you all a safe and happy festive season.

Keep singing,

Mrs. Watson
