P&C News P&C Meeting There are no more meetings this year, but please think if you would like to be involved in 2017! All welcome!!! The more the merrier. Meeting minutes are available on the website. Please visit: http://www.merewether-p.schools.nsw.edu.au/p-c P&C Email: merewetherpandc@gmail.com

Reminder for students attending Vacation Care at MPS Out of School Hours Care (OSHC) All students who attend this service need to comply with the Department’s OSHC Policy - of enclosed shoes, t-shirts (no singlets), hat, sunscreen (for warmer months), bottle of water and a healthy packed lunch.

We hope you are enjoying your delicious mangoes. If you have a surplus here is how to keep for later. To freeze, remove the cheeks and peel. Wrap each cheek in plastic and place, in a single layer (on a baking tray) and put in the freezer. Alternatively place all the peeled mango flesh in a blender ( stick ones work great) to puree, then pour into ice cube trays and freeze. Once frozen you can pop the mango ice cubes into zip lock bags to add to smoothies or other drinks of choice.
