What a busy day for our girls and boys basketball team last Thursday both playing 6 and 7 games of basketball.

Our MENPS Olympics theme continues with students in Year 3 participating in the Maths Mini Metric Olympics.

Champions in 3K were awarded medals for paper plate discus, left handed sponge squeeze, cotton ball shot putt, paper straw javelin and big foot. While only some of us were winners, we all had fun competing and measuring using metric units.

Happy Principal Appreciation Day to our wonderful Principals.
Thank you for all you do to support our students, staff and families. We appreciate you💕

Mrs Seaburgh couldn't have picked a more perfect day last Tuesday for our whole school Olympics.

Students enjoyed the opening ceremony followed by sport activities both in classrooms and outside and finally a closing ceremony.
Classroom activities included a wide variety of experiences from learning dances from different countries to creating advertising campaigns to tour Down Under.

A very special thank you to Mrs Seaburgh for organising such a well run event. The students loved it!

Exciting news just in from the courts!

Congratulations to our girls netball team. Today they competed at the division tournament.

Reminder

Our whole school Olympics Day is this Tuesday 23rd July.

The day will consist of students participating in an Olympic Opening Ceremony followed by two hours of sporting activities and two hours of classroom Olympic Activities.

Each class has been given an Olympic country for the day.
Please see the document below with each class and their country.
Students are asked to wear their countries colours. We ask that they wear clothes suitable for sport and everyone will need to be wearing runners for the day. This is not a free dress day.

Our Foundation students have swimming in the afternoon so we ask that they wear their full school uniform for the day and they will have a flag to represent their country.

The talent of our students are truly endless!
