I would like to welcome all our new and returning students and their families to our wonderful school again this year. I have really enjoyed hearing of the wonderful times our children have had over the holidays and it was great to see so many excited faces, keen to return to school this week. We all look forward to another great year at MEPS, supporting each child in continuing their learning journey. Mobile Phones As communicated last year, the Minister for Education, the Hon. James Merlino has banned the use of mobile phones in all schools as of this year. As per the Department policy, students who bring their mobile phones to school will need to hand them to their classroom teacher so they can be secured throughout the day. A copy of the Mobile Phone Policy can found on our school’s website. Important Dates 2020 Pupil-free Days: Friday, 6 th March Thursday, 25 th June Friday, 17 th July Brett Bell Principal Assistant Principal’s Report Welcome back everyone. The children look so happy and excited to be back at school, mixing with their friends, meeting their teacher and ready to learn in their classrooms. Thanks for all you have done at home to make sure they are ready for school this week. Also thanks for coming on Book Collection Day to pay the Parent Contributions and to pick up the books and supplies for the children. Our Preps started school today and have an early finish, which is a good thing considering the couple of hot days we have for the start of school.
