MEPS Takes the Stage

MEPS Takes the Stage is our performing arts matinee

and evening show which is a mix of music, dance,

drama and singing. It is a celebration of the arts at

Murwillumbah East. All students will have a part in

the show. Please order your seats at our front office

to avoid missing out. Ticket price is $1.00 to reserve

your special seat for the show.

Little Swimmers

This week is the last week for intensive swimming.

Well done to the students who are commencing,

developing and extending their swimming ability.

Our students are making huge gains in this essential

life skill.

NAPLAN

NAPLAN results for years 3 and 5 will be sent out

with our newsletter. Take some time to read

through the results in the different areas. An

achievement scale will show your child’s

achievement, our school average and a national

average. NAPLAN results should always be

interpreted with care. The information contained

in the report should be considered together with

school-based assessments and reports. Your child’s

teacher will have the best insight into your child’s

educational progress.

SRC Cake Stall

A massive thank you to all students who supported

our SRC cake stall last Thursday. The fantastic

classes of 6T and K/6E baked up a storm. A

tremendous effort from our whole school

community! Thank you to the cooks, cleaners,

sellers and buyers. Well done MEPS, $204 was

raised.

Our SRC are raising money for a Crazy Frog dodge

pit.
