Dear Parents and Carers,

Please note the following staff arrangements and changes occurring around the school

• Next week, we farewell Mrs Neha John, who has taken a full-time position at St Clare's College, working in their classroom support areas. Neha's position has been advertised.
• Unfortunately, Mrs Danielle Cooper will be away from next Tuesday for approximately four weeks as she is required to undergo surgery on her shoulder. We are still to arrange a replacement teacher.
• Miss Kate Higgins is currently on leave until the end of Week 5. 
• Next Thursday, Miss Carly Salmon is heading to England to participate in the  CommBank Paramatildas Women's Intercontinental Cup. Carly has been named Captain of the team. Wishing the team lots of success. 
• Commencing on Monday, we have two staff completing their final seven-week teaching prac with ACU - Miss Maddie Greenwood and Miss Brianna Gray. 

Science week

Next week we are celebrating Science Week at MTS. This years theme is Decoding the Universe – Exploring the unknown with nature’s hidden language.

Students are invited to create a balloon-powered car to see how far it can go. We look forward to seeing some incredible designs!

Boorowa Netball and Touch Carnival

This year we are currently only offering the students in Years 5 & 6 with the opportunity to attend this year’s carnival. This decision hasn’t been made lightly but is impacted by the number of available staff who have indicated they are available to attend this longer day to ensure we maintain the correct teacher/student ratio and the declining number of children in the lower grades taking up the offer of participation in recent gala day competitions. I know this will be disappointing news for some families.
