Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas break with your families.

Thank you all for a wonderful year packed full of lovely memories, precious moments and a whole lot of fun.

This Week at MacValley PS…………….

This week we celebrated the achievements of our wonderful students, farewelled our lovely Year 6 students and acknowledged the work of our special volunteers at a Presentation Day ceremony held at St Albans Hall. We also enjoyed numerous performances displaying our students’ amazing talents, thanks to the guidance of Mrs Walker and Mrs Du Peloux Menage. A big thank you must go to the St Albans Hall Committee for their very generous donation of the use of the Hall this year for our school and also to Kate Stuart for all her assistance with organising this venue at the last minute for us.

We were very grateful to have special guests Clr Danielle Wheeler, Hawkesbury City Council; Robyn Preston MP, Member for Hawkesbury and Senior Constable Bill Andrews, Hawkesbury Police Area Command support Macdonald Valley Public School and present achievement awards on the day.

Thank you to all the parents and community members who supported us at Presentation Day and throughout 2019. More photos of the ceremony are available to view on our School Website and also our Facebook Page.
