Our Programs
Let’s Have Art for the Future
Thanks to the generous support of the Packer Family Foundation and the Crown Resorts Foundation Grant, our school has greatly enhanced its arts program. This funding provides a specialist Art Teacher three days per week, a dedicated kiln for ceramics, and high-quality art supplies — giving every student the opportunity to explore their creativity.
School Uniform Shop
The School Uniform Shop is the exclusive provider of MBPS uniforms, ensuring students have access to high-quality, approved attire. Open every Wednesday from 9:00 to 10:00 am, the shop is operated by dedicated P&C volunteers. All proceeds go directly back into supporting school programs and resources.
Community Events
All year long, we bring our community together with a lineup of fun and memorable events — Welcome Back BBQs each term, the Family Fun Fair, a vibrant Art Show, the exciting Colour Fun Run, and themed stalls for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. These events strengthen our school community while raising funds for important programs.
Grant Writing
Grant writing is a vital function of the P&C, allowing us to pursue additional funding, resources, and facilities that significantly benefit our school community. Our dedicated team of grant writers identify opportunities and prepare applications to secure support for programs that would otherwise be beyond our reach.
