Recent Celebrations
Congratulations to students who participated recently in the Four Cares Celebration. Students in Prep to Year 2 enjoyed the Street Science Show and our Year 3-6 children had great fun with Laser tag. A wonderful celebration for our focus on respect this term.
Last week’s swimming carnival was a great success. Well done to all students who participated and special thanks to Mr Hills and Mr Newell for their organisation and to all the staff who worked tirelessly on the day. Congratulations Barton who were our 2022 House winners!
Our Awards Celebrations have been very well attended over the past three days. Congratulations to all parents, carers and family members who attended and celebrated the success of their loved ones. Special thanks to Deputy Premier and Member for Murrumba The Honourable Steven Miles, Federal Member for Petrie The Honourable Luke Howarth and Deputy Mayor Cr Jodie Shipway for their support and attendance.
2022 Class Placements
Today you will receive an email outlining your child’s class placement for 2022 with some information about beginning of year expectations and the Meet the Teacher afternoon on Friday 21 January. We have also included an Introduction to our Teaching Staff 2022 (included below). Thank you for being respectful of the decisions made regarding your child’s class placement.
Mandatory Vaccinations in all Education Settings from 23 January 2022
From 23 January 2022, mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations will be required for all people working, volunteering or delivering a service at a school. The requirement to be fully vaccinated does not apply to students or visitors to schools and early childhood education and care services. We will be working through our procedures to meet the expectations of ensuring only vaccinated contractors and volunteers are on site. We will communicate more about this next year prior to school starting.
Farewell Year 6 Students
This week we will farewell our year 6 cohort. Each Year 6 student has played a part in our school and we thank them for their contribution. They will always hold a place in the heart of Mango Hill SS. We wish them all the best and will miss them!
2022 Student Leaders
At the Year 5 Awards Parade on Tuesday we announced our 2022 Student Leaders. Congratulations to all the students who are Mango mentors or have been selected for a captain position.
Final Communication
I am proud of our 2022 successes including a successful school review, wonderful success in academics, sports and the arts! On behalf of the staff, I wish you all a safe, happy holiday and a very Merry Christmas.
