Dear Parents/ CarersFundraising for Drought Affected FamiliesAs a fundraising initiative, Bingara Central School came up with an idea called ‘A Little Bit of Help from My Friends’. On the 22nd August, 2018, the children were encouraged to come to school dressed as a farmer and offer a gold coin donation. Mullumbimby Public School raised approximately $350 for this initiative. The donations were given to the drought relief group in Bingara that has been collecting non-perishable food and fundraising for our affected farmers. Well done MPS!School Tours – Kindergarten 2019Two school tours with the principal have been placed on the calendar for new families who will be joining our school community next year in Kindergarten. The first school tour is this week on Thursday 30th August at 9am. The second school tour is in week 8 at 2pm on Wednesday 12th September. If any community member has friends or family that have children starting kindergarten in 2019 please encourage them to come and see our beautiful school on either of the dates outlined.Voluntary ContributionsParents/Carers will be issued with a reminder note for unpaid voluntary contribution funds of $45.00 this week.
