Hello everyone, Cricket Congratulations to our Elaine cricket club boys who won their grand final on the weekend. They were able to dismiss their opponents very quickly on the last morning to win the game. The team fielded extremely well, getting a couple of wickets via a run out and a catch. Well done to Kenny, Kade, Trent and Seth who played essential team roles in the win. Staffing Update I am writing to announce that Jannah Swaffield (one of our integration aides) has accepted a job at Belmont Primary School. We are very excited for Jannah, and thank her for the work she has done at Meredith. We have replaced Jannah internally in the short term while we advertise for a replacement. Woorabinda Camp I had the privilege of drawing two names out of the hat in front of Ms Pritchard’s class for Woorabinda camp on Thursday. Normally, I would do this at our school assembly, but I’m taking personal leave today so I did it in the classroom. This is a government run camp for grade 4/5 students. Unfortunately, only two students were allowed to go from our school (one girl, one boy). Congratulations to Eliza and Alex who were both the successful recipient of a camp invitation. Choir Expression of interest Spots are filling up fast for our choir which will begin on Wednesday, April 15th from 3.15 - 4.15pm. Please know that the cut-off date for registration is Tuesday 14th of April. Please let Belinda in the office know if you’d like your child to join in the choir. Old Laptops We have been working on having the old laptops ready to be taken home by today, and we hope that will be the case. Mile (our technician) has been sick and unable to attend school the last two weeks, but he is bringing in extra workers today in a bid to have them finished for the holidays. Have a great holiday break, I hope every family is able to relax and enjoy their time together over the Easter period. Family is a precious gift, school holidays are a great time to create and relive all sorts of fantastic memories.

Because of this I would like to take the opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to all the staff, students and families here at MPS. I feel extremely privileged to have been a part of this wonderful school community for the last three and a bit years. I have many mixed emotions at this time and although I am looking forward to spending more time with our grandchildren, Mr Cations and some new adventures, (did I mention the sleep ins) I will cherish the memories and friendships and will keep in touch and up to date with all the latest Meredith news. How good is that app! I would also like to pay special thanks to all school councillors, especially Terry Hart, Stefania Parkinson and Martin Peters, and the PFA parents who have at many times given up precious time to help me out when needed. My biggest thank you however, is to all the students who have made working at Meredith Primary School such a pleasure. Special mention to all our past and present school captains, this year Angus and Tarryn, who consistently uphold and encourage other students to maintain the MPS values that will no doubt lead them on to great achievements in the future. Keep up the great work. I will miss you all. Kind regards Carol Cations Principal Award Kade, Seth, Trent & Kenny For winning their cricket competition. Great team effort boys!
