FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK

This is our final newsletter for Term 2, and we would like to thank all our families for their continued support.

Major Works

We would like to inform you that our school will be undergoing some major works starting during the upcoming holiday period and continuing throughout Term 3. These works are part of ongoing improvements to enhance our school facilities and create the best possible environment for our students.

While this is an exciting development, it will come with some disruptions around the school grounds. Please be assured that every effort has been made to carefully plan the works to ensure there is no impact on student learning or classroom activities.

Safety remains our top priority. Clear signage, designated pathways, and additional supervision will be in place to manage movement around any of the work zones.

I will continue to keep you updated as we progress through the work.

Report Card Preparation

Report Cards will be emailed home on Thursday 26 June. Please note that Report cards will not be distributed prior to this date.

To ensure that parents/carers receive their child’s report card we need to update family contact details. If your contact details have changed, please contact the school office. Where students reside in two homes, it is important that all family members have the correct information listed with the school, so both parents/carers will receive a report card via email.

Winter Uniform Reminder

As the cooler weather sets in, we’d like to remind families of our school’s winter uniform expectations. Students are expected to wear navy blue tracksuit pants and a navy-blue jumper, which are readily available at leading retailers. Navy blue tights may also be worn under shorts or skorts. Footwear should always remain full black school shoes.

Wearing the correct school uniform is a core expectation at Musgrave Hill. It reflects our pride in being part of a strong learning community and helps maintain the positive image of our school.

We kindly ask that all uniform items align with our school’s uniform guidelines. Please ensure all clothing—particularly jumpers— are clearly labelled, as these are often removed during the day and can be easily misplaced.

Prep 2026 - Enrol now

Transition to school is a very big step for children and parents. It is vital that children feel comfortable in the school environment and think of school as a safe and welcoming place. Meeting our families before children start school provides an ideal opportunity for school to get to know our new 2026 Preps and support them to get ready for this big step.

Enrolments for 2026 Prep are now open. Please contact the school to receive an enrolment pack.

Meeting our 2026 Prep children this year, will enable them to feel more at ease and ready for ‘big’ school next year.

MIND MATTERS

Why Routines Matter

Routines aren't just about keeping things on track- they’re about helping kids feel calm, confident, and in control. When kids know what to expect, their world feels more predictable and safe. Daily routines teach time management, build good habits, and reduce stress (for them and us!). Whether it’s brushing teeth, getting to bed on time, or knowing when it’s playtime, routines help everyone feel more prepared for the day.

Start small, stay consistent, and make it fun! Involving your child and using visuals can go a long way. The goal isn’t perfection- it’s creating a rhythm that works for your family.
