In August 2022, we had our Fancy Dress Ball – it was a very successful event. We would sincerely like to thank everyone for volunteering and helping out.
Tuckshop
Friday 4th of November is Tuckshop Day. It is a day to recognise and give a special thank you to all tuckshop workers and volunteers. It also highlights the important role tuckshops play in school life. Providing nutritious food and drinks means families can have one less task to worry about at the start of their day and helps students to concentrate and learn well in class.
As you all may know, we farewelled Lisa Hastie, MSS's Tuckshop Convenor, who was with MSS for the last 12 years and we said a big hello to our new Tuckshop Convenor, Lana Perkes – who has seamlessly slotted right into the very important position. She has been working hard to continue the great service and great food to the school and its students. If you haven't yet met Lana, pop your head into the Tuckshop to say hello.

Final General Meeting for 2022
The final General Meeting for 2022 is this month, so we would love to see you there. Being a part of the P&C is a great way to be involved with the school and have your say on issues. Helping the P&C is helping the school and students. Remember, only registered members have the right to vote on issues raised at meetings.
