2026 MPS Swimming Carnival

Our annual Swimming Carnival was a fantastic success! Students from all year levels showed outstanding enthusiasm, determination, and sportsmanship as they participated in a variety of races and fun water activities throughout the day. It was wonderful to see students encouraging one another and enjoying the friendly competition and strong sense of team spirit.

Congratulations to all the students who placed at our school carnival. These students will receive their ribbons at the next Monday morning assembly, to be held on 16th February 2026.

A big thank you to our teachers, staff, and volunteers for their support and for helping make the day such a memorable event for everyone involved.

SRC Jersey Day

Yesterday our school celebrated SRC Jersey Day, with students proudly wearing their favourite sports jerseys to school while raising money for Sydney Children’s Hospital. The playground was filled with a fantastic variety of teams and sports, with students representing everything from rugby league, netball and soccer to basketball, AFL and more!

It was wonderful to see the school community come together for such an important cause. Students enjoyed sharing their favourite teams with friends and showing great school spirit throughout the day.

Thank you to all families for your generous donations and support. The funds raised will go towards helping Sydney Children’s Hospital continue the incredible work they do supporting children and their families.

Harmony Day

Harmony Day is celebrated in Australia on 21^st March to recognize the country's diverse cultures and Indigenous Australians. It's a day to promote respect, inclusion and social cohesion.

This year Milperra Public School celebrated Harmony Day on Monday 23rd March. Students and staff wore orange and cultural clothing to symbolise unity and respect and also participated in classroom activities to learn, understand and celebrate Harmony Day.

World Down Syndrome Day

On Monday 23rd March, students and staff at MPS recognised World Down Syndrome Day. The date for World Down Syndrome Day is the 21st day of the 3rd month. This date signifies the uniqueness of the triplication of the 21st chromosome which causes Down Syndrome.

Each year people like to celebrate and recognise World Down Syndrome Day by wearing brightly coloured or odd socks. This is because chromosomes can look like pairs of socks!

The idea behind the ‘Lots of Socks’ initiative is acceptance of all our differences, and what makes us unique as an individual. Socks come in all shapes, sizes, and designs, just like each of us.

Kindergarten Badge Ceremony

Our recent Kindergarten Badge Ceremony was a truly special milestone in the journey of our youngest students. With a sense of excitement, each child was presented with their very own school badge, symbolising their official welcome into our school community. The ceremony celebrated the values of belonging, responsibility, and pride that our badge represents. It was wonderful to see families and teachers come together to support and celebrate this memorable occasion, marking the beginning of many achievements to come for our Kindergarten cohort.

Easter Hat parade

Hip-hip-hooray the Easter Bunny came to MPS today!

On Wednesday 1st April, Milperra Public School held their annual Easter Hat Parade. With a hop in our step, students were all ears at our Easter Hat Parade, showing off their egg-cellent creativity and hare-raising designs!

It was an egg-stravaganza of colours, crafts, and cheerful charm. Thank you to all the students, families, and teachers who helped make this event egg-straordinary!

Autism Awareness Day

On Thursday 2^nd April, Milperra Public School celebrated World Autism Awareness Day by dressing in their most colourful clothes to paint our school in a beautiful rainbow! Students participated in various activities throughout the day to help create an understanding and acceptance of people living with Autism. It is also a time to celebrate the fact that we are all different, unique and to spread kindness, learning and awareness to create a more accepting and inclusive school community for everyone!

Prefect Investiture Assembly

Week 4 marked an important milestone for our student leadership team as our School Captains, Vice Captains, Prefects and Aboriginal Ambassador were officially inducted during our Investiture Assembly. Each leader committed to their role by pledging an oath of responsibility and service to our school community. They demonstrated confidence and maturity as they led the assembly, setting a strong example for their peers. We look forward to seeing their leadership skills grow and continue to make a positive impact throughout the year.

Throughout the seminar, students explored what it means to be an effective leader within our school community. They participated in engaging sessions that focused on teamwork, responsibility and how student leaders can make a positive difference for others within our school. Our students were fantastic representatives of MPS and returned with plenty of ideas about how they can support and inspire their peers throughout the year. They are excited to bring back creative ideas and initiatives that will help strengthen our positive school culture and continue making Milperra Public School a great place for everyone.
