Principals Report – Week 10, Term 3

Roald Up

The feedback from our "Roald Up!" matinee and two eveningperformances has been marvellous!

Thank you to everyone who has attended our performance, andthose who are attending our Wednesday evening performancetonight will thoroughly enjoy the musical.

Our students have been outstanding! From our Stage 3 leadersdown to our Kindergarten "munchkins and orphans" it has beena magical performance with plenty of cries of laughter and tearsof joy.

Our biennial performances are a long standing tradition atMullaway Primary School and are only possible due to theexcellent support we receive from our community and staffmembers.

Thank you to our behind the scenes heroes who have helpedwith design, music, costumes, make up, face paint, props,scripts... the tasks are endless. Thank you to our staff who havevolunteered their evenings to be 'on set'. Mullaway is one of thefew schools which has full staff participation and commitment,including our non-teaching staff. We do this because we arepassionate about public education and the opportunities thatcreative and performing arts provide for our students to "shine".

Mini Fete

Our Stage 3 students held their annual Mini Fete at MullawayPrimary School on Thursday, September 11th.

The Mini Fete is a fundraiser for the Year 6 farewell and isdesigned and operated by our Stage 3 students.

The old-fashioned, technology free activities are very popularwith our 21st Century students!

Congratulations, and thank you to our Stage 3 students whoheld a very successful Mini Fete and to our staff who alsosupported the event.

In total, the Stage 3 students raised $1420.00, a fantasticachievement!

PSSA Touch FootballMullaway's Boys Touch Footy team took to the field oncemore to take on the might of Wauchope Public School onWednesday in the 6th round of the PSSA Knockoutcompetition. A heavy downpour the night before made the fielda little less forgiving than previous matches, but also raised thehazard of a swarm of insects buzzing around, just waiting to bebreathed in (Mr Neal swallowed no less than five of the wingedbeasts).

The first ten minutes of the match were evenly contested, andMullaway threatened to score a couple of times. We lookedthe better side, but Wauchope were fast, well organised andmanaged to hold us out. They peppered us in attack and brokeour lines a couple of times. We went in to half time, down 4-0.

To our credit, the boys regrouped and battled valiantly in thesecond half. Jax managed to break through the line to score arunaway try and the energy of our team lifted. But it was not tobe our day. Wauchope were just too strong. Final score: 9-1.

I can't emphasise enough how proud I am of all the boys. Wefinished equal 3rd in the North Coast (out of approximately 80competing schools). In every single game our team displayedfantastic sportsmanship, and even in defeat we congratulatedthe other team and held our heads up high.

Thank you to all parents who helped out with lifts and came outto cheer the boys along. We couldn't do it without you.
