Learning for all at Morgan Street

It was a wonderful week at Morgan Street during Week Two as we celebrated NAIDOC Week. We deliberately moved our celebration of NAIDOC Week to later in the year to ensure that we gave the week the full respect that it

deserves.

This week sees our Kinder Orientation and Year 6 to 7 transition fully commence. It is an exciting time for both groups, no doubt also a little daunting as it is means change and quite a few unknowns. As a school we need to ensure that we fully support this. Successful

transitions will ensure smooth starts.

We are well underway with our plans for next year. To enable us to plan with as much certainty as we can, can you please let the school know if your students will not be returning

to Morgan Street PS next year. We will treat all discussions confidentially.

Have a wonderful week of learning!

Thought for the week: “The principle goal of education in schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not

simply repeating what other generations have done.“ ~ Jean Piaget Scott Sanford Principal

If families would like to donate to the Ulysses Toy Run, new toys/games

can be left at the 3-6 and K-2 office. Toys will be picked up on Friday

30th November 2018 at 10.15am.

On Friday at the NAIDOC Assembly we unveiled our entry

for the NAIDOC Banner Competition which was designed

and painted by 6M. The banner was displayed at the

community NAIDOC celebrations which was held at Sturt

Park during the school holidays. Although we do not think

we won the competition, we think it looks pretty amazing.

What’s happening in 4W? LETTERS — In Term 3, 4W

wrote letters of support to

Ms Wagner’s brother, Guy,

and his platoon who are in

the Australian Army and

currently serving in

Afghanistan. Guy sent us this

photograph when they

received their letters. They

hope to write back to us soon but we understand they are very busy.

PAPER RECYLING — Earlier in the year, 4W introduced paper

recycling to MSPS. So far, you have all helped us fill the big bin three

times! We think the system is working well but we would love to hear

from you. Please write down any feedback you have and pass it on to

us.

You might notice this logo around the school. It was

designed by Kate Stacey to help remind people to

recycle.

DROUGHT FUNDRAISER — In Term 4, 4W are completing ‘Genius

Hour’ projects where everyone gets to choose their own topic to learn

about. As part of Maddie’s project, she has decided to hold a cake

sale in Week 4 to raise money for the farmers affected by the

drought. 4W are going to give her a hand but please let her know if

you would like to help support this important cause. Stay tuned for

further information!
