Murwillumbah Show
Show day is always an exciting event for our
students. 8 students competed in a relay event
before school. The relay was a 800m event where
each student ran 200m on the soft sand track of
the field and they carried a piece of sugar cane
for a baton. The teams consisted of Imogen Scott,
Joanne Skinner, Toby Shapland, Mckenzie
Sneddon, Yazmyne Cooney, Felicity Noble, Jai
Barnard and Xane Bowen. Well done to our relay
team members who showed excellent
sportsmanship and enjoyed this wonderful
community annual event.
Congratulations MEPS students on a wonderful
exhibit at the show. Our display definitely
demonstrated the talents of our students in the
creative arts.
On Friday our students got to visit the show with
their class. It was a very hot day but our students
got to cool down with a well-deserved ice slushy.

Cultural Celebrations 3-4H
This semester our 3-4H students have been learning
about Cultural Celebrations. They have learnt
about various implements and animals that are
used in celebrations. These include Fans,
Butterfly’s, Doves, Pandas and Elephants. The
Panda and Elephant species that are used in
celebrations are now endangered.
Students have also studied The BFG by Roald Dahl
and have sketched The BFG. Some of our
sketches were in the schools display at the
Murwillumbah Show.

Office Information
Annual Financial Statement - Between 30th
November and 2nd December our school will be
undertaking our yearly finance ‘rollover’ process.
This is similar to everyone’s end of June tax time.
During that week I will be updating and finalising
our school accounts for 2016 and starting the next
phase of our finances for 2017. Could I please ask
all parents to finalise any payments that need to
be made to our school prior to 30th November -
preferably during the week beginning 21st
November. If you are going to make a Parent
Online Payment could you please make that
payment no later than Friday 25th November, that
way all payments will be credited to our school
account prior to our rollover.
When dropping students off late or picking up
early for appointments please remember to go via
our office to pick up a slip prior to accessing your
child's classroom - once they are marked on our
system teachers release students into parents
care.
Volunteers Morning Tea - so that catering can be
finalised please RSVP to our office by phoning

The Show
Yah! On Friday 1-2C went to the Murwillumbah
Show. We had to catch the bus with three other
classes. When we got there we went to the
animals. The chickens were as fluffy as a cloud.
There were also guinea pigs as cute as a baby
kitten. After the animals we went to the craft area
where a lady was spinning wool. There was also a
lady doing pottery with clay. She made a pot.
I think the best part was the animals.
By Felicity Gamble
The Show
On Friday 1-2C went to the show. My favourite part
was when we saw the chickens and the snakes. We
had cool slushies and watched the horse show. We
got a free balloon. I was so tired after the show.
When I got home I thought I had the best day of
my life.
