Minimbah Preschool Primary School Aboriginal Corporation

🤩 Our Puggles Class have had a fun first week of Kindergarten!! We are all so proud of them!! 🤩

I'm sure all of our students and their families are excited for tomorrow! The staff definitely are ❤️
Primary buses will depart the school at approx 8:30. As we have not heard from all families regarding seats, we will run as per last year and collect all students. It would be great if Kindy and new enrolments could be bought to school by their families. If you would like to join us tomorrow morning for breakfast but have no transport please call the school in the morning and we will pick you up.
Please note that there are no changes to the Preschool buses.
We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow 😊

Reminder for all families...our school hours have changed for this year...classes will be from 9:00am, please no students on site prior to 8:45.
We will be starting the year with a welcome breakfast on the 2nd Feb, everyone is welcome.
The school office will be open from the 27th Jan for bus applications, uniforms and enrolments.
Bus seats (for the Primary school) will be limited this year due to high enrolments so please let us know asap if you do need a seat. Enjoy the rest of your holidays and we look forward to seeing everyone again soon 😊
