Congratulations to Amanda Carrigy

We are delighted to share that Amanda Carrigy has secured a permanent full-time position as Manager of Corporate Services (MCS) at Sorrento Primary School, commencing in Term 2.

Amanda has been an outstanding asset to the Executive Team at Mullaloo Beach Primary School. Her professionalism, dedication, and positive impact across our school community have been truly valued, and she will be dearly missed.

We warmly congratulate Amanda on this wonderful achievement and wish her every success in her new role and the exciting opportunities ahead.

The 2026 Easter Parade will be held on Thursday 2 April starting at 8:45am in the undercover area. All students are encouraged to wear a colourful Easter Hat and will finish with the P&C Easter raffle draw!

Dear Parents and Carers,

On Friday 20 March, Mullaloo Beach Primary School will be celebrating Harmony Day. Harmony Day is a wonderful opportunity to recognise and celebrate Australia’s cultural diversity and the message that everyone belongs. To mark the occasion, all students are encouraged to wear something orange on the day. We look forward to celebrating this special day together as a school community. 🧡

Dear Parents and Carers,

Mullaloo Beach Primary School is seeking expressions of interest from parents who would like to join the School Board in 2026.

The School Board plays an important role in working with the school community to achieve the best possible outcomes for our students. It contributes to good school governance by helping ensure that school resources are used efficiently and that community expectations and school priorities reflect the needs of students.

The functions of School Boards are set out in legislation and include both approval and advisory responsibilities. In partnership with the Principal and other relevant decision-makers, the Board may be involved in matters such as:

• Fees and charges
• Book lists
• Sponsorship
• Dress codes

Board members work collaboratively with the Principal, who ensures that all decisions comply with legislative and policy requirements. The Board does not intervene in the day-to-day management or control of the school — this remains the responsibility of the Principal.

Board membership is a rewarding opportunity to contribute to the success and future direction of our school. Members include the Principal, parents, staff, and community members who bring valuable skills and expertise. Parents and community members form the majority of the Board.

Members are required to act in the best interests of the school and its students at all times. Please note that parent and community representatives must complete a Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check (NCCHC) as part of the appointment process.

If you are interested in nominating for the School Board in 2026, or would like further information about what the role involves, please email the Administration Office by 20 February 2026.

I encourage you to consider this opportunity to support and shape the continued success of Mullaloo Beach Primary School.

Kind regards,
Anthony Greco

Welcome to the Mullaloo Beach Primary School Run Club for 2026!

Dear Parents, Carers and Students,

I am excited to invite the students from Year 2 through to Year 6 to participate in Running Club for 2026. Running Club will commence on Wednesdays from next week (Week 3) at 7:45am.

A 400m course will be set out for the students and at the end of each lap, Ms Stangoni and myself will be scanning the students' QR Cards to record how far each student has run throughout 2026.

Year 1 students will be invited to participate from Term 2 - this gives them some time to settle into the routines of primary school.

Pre-Primary students will be invited to participate from Term 4.

WHERE:
Please meet Ms Stangoni and Mr Bell on the big oval.

WHEN:
7:45am Wednesday morning (from 18/2/2026)

WHAT TO BRING:
Please bring a water bottle and appropriate footwear.

We look forward to seeing you bright and early on Wednesday morning.

Kind regards,

Mr Bell
