Learning for all at Morgan Street I do hope that everyone enjoyed the long weekend, it was certainly a little bit unusual to not have to come to school on a Monday and be writing the newsletter today on a Tuesday!

Well done to all our students, staff and families who survived the cold conditions at the Picton Oval last week for the athletics carnival. The students did a marvellous effort considering the conditions. The Broken Hill Athletics Carnival will be held next term in Week Three.

Today we have a number of students participating in a public speaking workshop as they prepare their speeches for our upcoming public speaking competition. From this competition, two junior and two senior students will be selected to represent our school at the Broken Hill Public Speaking Competition.

On Friday we will have 14 students attend the Barrier Cross Country Carnival held in the Sunraysia. We wish them the very best of luck for the event.

It has been wonderful to have many new and current families come to the office to commence the enrolment process for kindergarten in 2020. Please contact our main office for further information.

Have a wonderful week of learning!

Even though last week’s athletics carnival was an

extremely chilly day, it was great to see so many

students participating and having lots of fun. A big

thank you to all the parents, grandparents and

carers who also braved the icy conditions to cheer

on their children or assist with timekeeping or in

the canteen. We really appreciate your support.

STAFF SPOTLIGHT

Ms Carol Muir

What is your role at MSPS? I am the Assistant Principal responsible for the supervision of Stage 3 staff and students. I also have the privilege of teaching a great class, 6M. I am also the Technology Co-Ordinator. How long have you worked at MSPS? This is my 31st year!! I cannot actually believe that I am one of the longest serving staff members here at MSPS. What’s your favourite thing about working at MSPS? The main reasons that have kept me here for all these years are the terrific students and their families. I have also been lucky to have worked along side many amazing teachers. What is something about you that not many people know? When I was in high school I participated in state athletics, netball and basketball and was Sports Girl of the Year. What would you do (for a career) if you weren’t doing this? I have always enjoyed art and design so I think a graphic designer would be right up my alley. But I would love to be a famous photographer. If you could live anywhere else, where? I would love to live on a small farm somewhere with a view of mountains next to a lake or river.
