Stories and highlights

There's always something to celebrate at our school! From exciting events to proud moments and everyday wins, here are some of our highlights.

A year at our school

Our School Bees

In conjunction with The Humble Hive Collective, we have our own bee hive at school, which produces around 50 kilos of honey each year. We are able to sell this honey to raise funds for school resources. Our honey won the first place blue ribbon this year at the Newcastle Regional Show, in the dark honey category.

Family Celebration Days

Each year, we celebrate Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and Grandparents’ Day with special events that bring our school community together. These occasions are a wonderful way to recognise the important role families play in our students’ lives and to share memorable moments of connection and appreciation.

Celebrating NAIDOC Day Together

Each year, Milbrodale Public School proudly joins with the Singleton Small Schools to celebrate NAIDOC Day — a highlight of our cultural calendar. The event is supported by MACH Energy and brings together local Elders, Clontarf Foundation and NASCA Girls Academy youth leaders, and students from across the region for a day of rich cultural learning and connection. Activities are led by young Aboriginal leaders and elders, sharing stories and culture as well as a visit to the sacred Baiame Caves. This full-day celebration deepens understanding, respect, and pride in Aboriginal culture and history.

Active Kids, Strong Foundations

At Milbrodale Public School, every student from Kindergarten to Year 6 participates in weekly sport programs designed to build confidence, teamwork, and fundamental movement skills. Through the Australian Government’s Sporting Schools program, we receive funding most terms to deliver a variety of sports and connect students with local community clubs. These programs give our students opportunities to try new sports, learn from qualified coaches, and stay active in a fun, supportive environment — inspiring healthy habits that last a lifetime.

Singleton Small Schools Sport

As part of the Singleton Small Schools network, our students build sporting skills and friendships through Gala Days and sporting events held each term. These days give students the chance to learn teamwork, try new sports, and connect with peers from neighbouring schools in a fun and supportive environment.

Community Connections

Milbrodale Public School is proud to be an active part of our local community. Each year, our students and staff participate in events such as the Bulga ANZAC Day Service, the Truckers Memorial, and the Milbrodale Mountain Classic. These occasions give our students meaningful opportunities to contribute, show respect, and celebrate the strong community spirit that defines our region.

At Milbrodale Public School(MPS), we know how important it is for families to feel connected and proud of their school community. That’s why we love sharing the journeys and achievements of our former students, showcasing where their MPS beginnings have led them. Whether they’ve pursued exciting careers, made a difference in their communities, or even returned as teachers and mentors, our alumni reflect the values and strong foundation that Milbrodale Public School offers every student.

We’d love to hear from past students of all ages and backgrounds for our Alumni Spotlight!

Former students can go to MPS Alumni Q&A Page to tell us their story. Sharing these experiences not only inspires today’s students but also helps families see the lifelong impact of an Milbrodale Public School education.
