Ashley Hayward - 5/6H Ashley Hayward is this weeks Personal Best

Award winner. I’m particularly proud of how far Ashley has

come to win this award. Ashley has a fairly completive nature and I

feel he has used this wisely in the classroom.

He doesn’t necessarily compete with his peers, but rather he competes with himself, trying to improve.

Ashley recently received an excellent reward for his hard work, with a placement in the Gifted and Talented class at Parkes High School for next year.

Ashley is his own person and I admire his individuality and great sense of humour.

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE This week the School Swimming and Water Safety Program begins for our Year 2 students and some Primary students. This is a learn to swim and water safety program that develops water confidence and provides students with basic skills in water safety and survival for students. The Program operates daily lessons of 1 hour over 10 consecutive school days. I am very much looking forward to our Presentation Night. The students and staff are in full swing preparing for the night. While I was attending a Principals conference in Sydney, I had someone tell me what a great night MPS presentation is. To hear such great news from afar is always pleasing to hear. Tomorrow Mrs Wright and myself will be attending the Early action for success Roadshow in Dubbo. This Professional Learning event will be based around Numeracy and Literacy.

Have a Great Week! Mrs Nicole Livermore
