Our students and staff would like to extend an invitation to all of our wonderful grandparents and elders to join us at school for an afternoon of entertainment, education and fun.
On Thursday 9th July, Muswellbrook Public School will be filled to capacity with past and present students as two generations come together to celebrate education and showcase the talents of our current pupils. "Grandparent's & Elder's Day" provides an avenue for elderly members of our school community to become involved in our school and the education of our great students.
The afternoon commences at 12 noon with a variety concert featuring many of the talented boys and girls of the school.
A family picnic and barbecue will be held during the lunch break. This will be an ideal time for the grandparents and elders to share stories of schooling with their grandchildren.
In our library a book sale will be conducted. Using the title "Donate a Legacy" visitors to the sale will have the opportunity to purchase and donate a book to our school library. All books donated will have a special nameplate inserted to commemorate the donation and to recognise the donor.
The afternoon will conclude with an opportunity to visit classroom and participate in an activity which will require the experience of age and the enthusiasm of youth.
