Today our Junior School Council representatives visited Little Wonders ELC in Sebastopol to spend some time working and learning alongside the kinder students.

These visits are a wonderful way to build connections between our local kindergartens and our school, while also helping to develop the confidence of both the kinder students and our school student leaders.

It was fantastic to see the chatter, collaboration and smiles as our big kids and little kids worked together.

Thank you to our wonderful school community for the non-perishable food items you donated during Homelessness Week last week. We had a massive amount of food donated. The food has been donated to the Uniting Relief Centre and will help those in need within our local area.

Last week we celebrated our amazing leader, Mr Whittaker, with an afternoon full of fun, laughter and a few challenges along the way!

Each class organised a special game for Mr Whittaker:
🎯 5/6 – Guess My Name
🤔 4/5 – Who Am I?
💃 3/4 – Dance Challenge
⭐ 1/2 – Celebrity (Student) Heads
📖 Prep/1 – A very entertaining book titled “What We Think Mr Whittaker Does All Day”.

There were plenty of laughs throughout the afternoon, but what really stood out was just how well Mr Whittaker knows the students of Magpie P.S.

We would all like to say a huge thank you to Mr Whittaker for his hard work, dedication and commitment to our school. You work tirelessly to make Magpie P.S. a place where both students and staff feel seen, supported and cared for.

On Friday we had a lovely visit from the local nursing home. A large group of very old people with wrinkles, grey hair and walking sticks came to see what school in 21st century was like. We loved having the old people visit us but we are relieved that it was only for one day as those old people were hard work! 😁

Mark your calendars! On Friday 7 August, schools across Victoria will come together to celebrate Principals' Day 2026.

Principals make an extraordinary contribution to their school communities every day, leading with purpose, supporting students and staff, navigating complex challenges, and helping every school thrive.

Whether it's a morning tea, a handwritten card, a staff celebration or a simple thank you, Principals Day is an opportunity to recognise the impact of school leaders across our state.

📌 Save the date and start planning how your school will celebrate.

Today our students celebrated NAIDOC and First Nations people culture and history by painting and decorating their own boomerangs using Aboriginal symbols and creating designs representing what is special to them.
