Malibu School Newsletter - 2023 Term 2 Week 1
Principal's Pen
Dear families
Welcome back, to what will be a wonderful term 2.
I hope you enjoyed a great holiday break with your family and friends. The weather provided the perfect chance for some outdoor fun in the last week.
With the cooler weather coming and COVID, ful and colds about, we are reminding our staff and families to stay home if unwell. Free RATs are available at reception, or please ask your child's teacher to send some home if needed.
This short newsletter is full of information about services and resources. We hope you will find it of use.
Tomorrow we will be holding an ANZAC ceremony from 9am to remember those who died at war and for those serving in our armed forces. Our families are very welcome to attend.
We hope to see you soon.
Kind regards
Merrilee Wright
Principal
