Wishing all our families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year. We’ve experienced great success this year both within our classrooms, and in a variety of extra-curricular activities. This success doesn’t occur without the hard work and dedication of our staff who give up a large amount of their time outside of school hours to prepare lessons, coach and prepare teams and organise activities to provide a wholistic and balanced schooling experience of our Mackay West students. We also require significant support from our parents to achieve great things for our students. To our parents and carers, thanks for your involvement in our school this year. I’m very confident that in 2022 we’ll continue to see Mackay West State School thrive as the best school in Mackay. West is best!
From 2-3pm on Friday 21st January 2022, parents and students are welcome to drop off their book list items to their classroom. This will alleviate the need to bring large quantities of materials on the first day and also give teachers a chance to set up classroom before the first day. The other bonus is that students and parents have another opportunity to touch base with their teacher before school begins on the 24th January. All this will lead to a more settled start to the school year for everyone.
The first day of 2022 will be Monday 24th January 2022. Wednesday, 26th January will be a public holiday. Our Junior and Senior Campus offices will be closed from Monday 13th December 2021, to Friday 14th January 2022. Offices will reopen on Monday 17th January 2022.
