25.01.2022 Important announcement - Friday pizza lunch Apologies for the short notice, but pizza lunch has been cancelled for this Friday 11th September. Unfortunately our supplier is unable to fulfill our orders. The P&C will contact QuickCliq to arrange refunds.

25.01.2022 Dont forget! Tomorrow is Walk Safely to School Day! Now in its 21st year, National Walk Safely to School Day (WSTSD) is an annual event when all Primary School children are encouraged to walk and commute safely to school. It is a Community Event seeking to promote Road Safety, Health, Public Transport and the Environment. ... The Student Leadership team will be monitoring each gate from 8:25am to congratulate students who walk to school! Each student who walks, rides or scoots to school will receive a "Walk Safely to School Day" sticker and a PBS Stamp in their diary! They will also receive a raffle ticket for the chance to win a major prize! What about if we live too far away from school to walk? Park and Walk is an initiative that we use to get parents to park at one of our local parking areas and let the kids walk to school from there. Bellport Park, Avondale Park, The Marina and Basils all make great Park and Walk locations. Cant wait to see as many children walking as possible!

25.01.2022 Yet again, another incredible experience that Mrs Maclean has provided our Senior Choir students. Watch the premiere live now! The Massed Choir Festival - Celebration of Song concert! https://www.youtube.com/watch

24.01.2022 Students enrolled in schools across Western Australia, have the ability to access cheaper 'Student' fares across the Transperth network of Public Transport. If you would like more information about a Student Smartrider, head over to transperth.wa.gov.au and click on 'Smartrider' at the top of the page. Forms are also available from the school office. As a community, we want to promote employee and student health and wellbeing through physical activity (walking or cycling to stops), making better use of travel time and reducing their travel costs.

24.01.2022 "On the Same Page" We need your help to complete a road safety survey! We are committed to encouraging our students to use bikes, scooters, walking and public transport to get to and from school safely more often. With the increase of children using active ways to get to school, we will see a drastic improvement in road traffic. This survey will enable us to find out a little about how you travel to school, what challenges you face using active modes of transport and where possible, find solutions to these challenges. We aim to reduce the number of cars at drop off and pick times, to create a safer space around our school environment. https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx

24.01.2022 The Inter School Faction Carnival has been rescheduled to Wednesday the 9th of September and we will be hosting this here at Mindarie once again!

24.01.2022 This morning, our Kiss and Drive took 74 cars between 8:25am and 8:45am. 13 cars, 18% of cars, stopped in the wrong spot (area in red) to wait for a spot in the wrong bays. Each time, these road users blocked traffic and forced cars to bank up behind them. During the full 20 minutes of survey, we only saw a total of 2 cars use the final three bays (blue arrows) of the Kiss and Drive - we would love to see more people use these bays. Parents should always drive forward to the green arrow, look for an open spot in the Kiss and Drive, and pull as far forward as possible when doing drop off and pick up.

23.01.2022 This Friday is Walk Safely to School Day!

The event will be held throughout Australia on Friday 11th September 2020 and we invite our community to participate by walking, riding or scooting to school.

14.01.2022 A fantastic opportunity for children to engage in outside school STEM club - Young Engineers. This program equates to $20 per session (1.5 Hours) an incredible price for an interesting out of school care alternative for those children who may be interested in lego and engineering. https://gmperth.young-engineers.com.au/enrolment/

11.01.2022 Walk to School day tomorrow! See you all at the Park and Walk locations!

11.01.2022 Did you know that 20% of our student population live within 400m/5 minute walk to school? How about 75% of our school population like within 800m/10 minute walk to school? Even quicker if you are cycling! Mindarie Primary School is now a Your Move registered school! Keep your eye out for more information in the coming weeks about this new initiative!

11.01.2022 Another way that we can assist with the traffic issues with the roads around Mindarie Primary School is to use the parking facilities in our Mindarie community and allow the kids to walk from there. In this video, we showcase some of the local parking areas that we encourage families to use. There is no chance of getting a parking fine in these places, and the extra 20 minuites of exercise for the kids per day can only serve them well. Lets get On the Same Page with the traffic around our community - its everyones responsibility.

10.01.2022 WALK THE WALK Lace up your shoes and get ready to put your feet first for National Walk Safely to School Day on Friday!

The Athletic Field Events including, jumps, throws, the 200 meter races and A division races will be held this Friday, September 4, 2020.

06.01.2022 Wow, what an amazing response the Fathering Sub Committee of the P&C has had to the pizza and movie night. As we are still in phase four in relation to COVID 19 we need to adhere to the 2 meter requirement. This, sadly, means that the event is now closed. Dads and children attending, given the level of attendance, please bring a blanket or towel that will define your families space. Please bring your own supply of hand sanitizer. ... Water bottles are essential. These can be refilled at school. If you have a cough, cold or temperature, stay at home. Email the school to advise of this and the school will pass the information on to the Fathering Project committee. Please continue to abide by the phase four requirements. No handshaking. Have a wonderful evening with your children. See more

03.01.2022 From the P&C: Due to some unfortunate circumstances there wont be lunch orders this Friday. We shall be continuing with Pizzas next term from Posh Pizza!

03.01.2022 Good evening everyone, The P&C meeting that was scheduled for tomorrow (5:30-7pm Wednesday 29th July) has been cancelled. It will be rescheduled for a day time... next week (TBC). The reason for this cancellation is lack of numbers. In order for a meeting to be held, a minimum of 8 financial members must be present. We often receive feedback from the community that a meeting after school would make it easier for more parents to attend. So please, become a financial member, it costs $1 per year, it does not mean you have to attend every meeting nor volunteer at every event. But it does mean that you receive meeting invites/ agendas/ minutes, and can RSVP easily. Our P&C is made up of people who give whatever time they can. For some it is an hour or two here or there, for others it can be counted in hours every day, or week, or just for a specific event. We would love to have more parents/ caregivers involved, so please join as a financial member and let us know what you can do
