Dear Parents,

Just a reminder to all parents of Year 6 students - applications for Department of Education GATE testing closes this Sunday, February the 10th. 

This testing is designed to identify gifted students who are about to enter secondary school. Successful students may then be offered a placement in one of several specialist programs, such as art, music, dance, drama or academic extension. 

To be considered eligible for a place in these programs, students must sit the GATE test, conducted by the Department of Education.

If you would like your child to sit this test, you must apply online. Follow the link below and it will take you to the relevant website. it will also answer all your questions and provide useful information.

Welcome to 2019!

Hello, everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. I most certainly did and used the time to read a plethora of books, go on long walks around the Swan River, catch up with old friends and do some woodwork in my 'man cave' out the back of my house.

Although I thoroughly enjoyed my time off, I did miss my students and was quite happy to come back to work and see how much they have grown and how adorable the newest MAC additions are.

We have already gotten off to a 'flyer'. The new students have settled in beautifully already and the older students have quickly gotten back into the MAC groove. I am really looking forward to this year - I have planned lots of interesting learning activities that will hopefully challenge and extend the students.

For all our Year 6 parents, the first group of Student Representatives will be announced this coming Friday (8th Feb) at our first assembly. We would love to see you there...after all, in the blink of an eye, it will be the end of 2019 and we will be saying a tearful goodbye to our 'big kids' of the school!

I look forward to meeting with you all throughout the year.

Carl Sanderson
