I hope you are all looking forward to the long weekend ahead and have some lovely plans to enjoy the extra time with your family. It is a bit of a shock to realise that next week will be Week 7 and we are inching very close to the end of the term. It feels like we have only just come back!
I was thrilled that the stunning photos captured by Wolter Peeters were so generously shared with us. I think you would all agree that he did a great job of encapsulating the warmth and enthusiasm that is the essence of Macdonald Valley PS. Not to mention the beautiful setting we enjoy every day.

A big thank you to Nepean Boltmaster for their donation of a box of sanitiser for our school. We greatly appreciate your generosity and community spirit!
Thank you to Wolter Peeters (photographer from Sydney Morning Herald) for kindly sharing his beautiful photos of our lovely school. Please keep an eye out on our
website and Facebook page for some of the photos he has taken recently.
In the flood we were stranded in a small group of houses then we had to move to a higher house to escape the rising water. Then when we needed to get food we had to trudge through 2km of steep rough bush to one of our cars that was parked at the road. But the road was blocked and we could only get a few metres. So, we went back and asked our neighbours for food.
Then the flood finished and the COVID-19 started. At first, we could get food and go to school. But soon after that people started panic buying. We are a big family so we could not get all the things we needed. Soon after that social distancing started. Then the Government told us to stay home if we could. So, me and my family stayed home and we learnt with resource packs that we got from school and the internet. It was really fun and I could finish at 11 o’clock. After a bit we got to go back to school but we still had to keep a distance.
Now everything is fine.

We are very proud of our students’ achievements in external events & competitions and are committed to recognising their achievements, however, this cannot happen unless we are informed.
