The Tell Them From Me (TTFM) survey is open again. This survey is an opportunity for you to provide feedback about our school. We are committed to listening to our community to ensure that Moruya Public School is a great place to learn. The survey will only take a few minutes and can be accessed at: http://nsw.tellthemfromme.com/26mps28 

The beginning and end of the school day are busy times for both pedestrians and drivers. To ensure the safety of everyone please:

• Drop your child off and pick them up on the school side of the road or use the pedestrian crossings when crossing the road
• Never call out to your children from across the road - it is very dangerous
• Always take extra care in 40km school zones
• Follow all parking signs - these help keep your child as safe as possible
• Park responsibly even if it means you have to walk further to the school gate
• Never double park - it is illegal and puts children at risk
• Never do a U-turn or a three point turn outside the school as it puts children at risk of harm
• Model safe and considerate pedestrian and driver behaviours to your child
• Ensure children exit the car when it is parked and not in the middle of the road

MPS Premiers Sporting Challenge Olympics

I would like to congratulate all classes on their efforts in our participation of the MPS Premier’s Sporting Challenge Olympics. Students have become accustomed to having active physical movement in their lives each day and are now confident in getting out and being active at both home and school. Keep up the great work.

The K-2 Joey awards dropped to classes for weeks 4 – 7 this week.

Congratulations to Platypus, Fantails, Red Robins and Blue Wrens on their Gold Medals for their active participation in the challenge.

Week 7 in 3-6 saw these results:

Gold Medal: 3B with 20 Gold/Diamond participation awards

Siver Medal: 4/5F and 5/6T (tied) with 19 Gold/Diamond participation awards

Bronze Medal: 5/6M with 18 Gold/Diamond participation awards

As you can see the competition is tight and the students are working hard to improve their results.

South Coast Regional Athletics Carnival in Canberra

Last week MPS had four representatives who went to the South Coast Athletics Carnival at the AIS in Canberra.

Jace and Emme R represented our 9 year olds in the 100 metre boys and girls sprint.

Gabrielle S represented our 11 year old girls in the 100 metre girls sprint.

Johanna A represented our 12 year old girls in the shot put.

Congratulations on reaching such a high level of competition.

Our P&C have been very busy the last few weeks organising some amazing events. 

1. We are holding a Cake Stall on Saturday 14 September for the local election that will be held at Moruya Public School. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the amazing bakers that have donated all the yummy goodies you will be able to purchase on Saturday, the stall will be set up as you exit the school hall. 

2. End of Term Disco, due to the increasing costs involved in holding a movie night we have had to change this event to a school disco instead, we know the students always enjoy a school disco and this time we will have the canteen open to purchase drinks and snacks. 

3. In term 4 we will be holding a School Colour Run, watch this space for more details but each student will be set up with the opportunity to win some great prizes based on donations they can bring in. 

All the events the P&C hold are to raise funds to go back into the school community, next year the P&C will help fund the Whole School Musical which is a wonderful experience for all students. 

We hope to see as many families as possible support these upcoming events.
