Book Week
At Marayong Heights Public School, Book Parade and Book Week are much-loved annual events that celebrate our students’ love of reading and creativity. During Book Week, we immerse ourselves in stories, literature activities, and author visits, inspiring a lifelong passion for books. The highlight is our colourful Book Parade, where students proudly dress up as their favourite book characters and share their favourite stories with the school community. These festivities foster imagination, encourage literacy, and bring our school community together, making reading a fun and memorable shared adventure for everyone.
School Incursions & Excursions: Enriching Learning at Every Stage
At Marayong Heights PS, we believe learning extends beyond the classroom. Our engaging incursions and excursions are designed for every stage from Kindergarten to Year 6, providing students with real-world experiences that complement the curriculum. Whether exploring local environments, visiting cultural centres, or welcoming professionals into the classroom, these opportunities spark curiosity, deepen understanding, and foster lifelong learning. Discover how our students connect with their communities and the wider world, making learning meaningful and memorable.
Stage 3 Camp
At Marayong Heights Public School, Stage 3 students look forward to the exciting annual camp experience, which alternates each year between an educational trip to Canberra and an action-packed Sports and Recreation camp. The Canberra camp offers students a unique opportunity to explore our nation’s capital, engaging with history, government, and culture through interactive and memorable activities. The Sports and Recreation camp provides a dynamic environment where students participate in a variety of physical challenges, team-building exercises, and outdoor adventures that promote fitness and resilience. Both camps foster independence, teamwork, and personal growth, creating lasting memories and valuable life skills beyond the classroom.
P&C Disco
Our annual P&C Disco at Marayong Heights Public School is a much-anticipated event that brings students, families, and staff together for a night of fun and celebration. Organised by our supportive P&C, the disco provides students with an opportunity to enjoy music, dance, and connect with friends in a lively and safe school environment. The event builds school spirit, celebrates our vibrant community, and gives everyone a chance to let their hair down and make joyful memories. It’s a wonderful way to foster friendships, strengthen family-school partnerships, and ensure every student feels part of our caring school community.
P&C Mother's Day & Father's Day Stalls & Breakfast
Our P&C and dedicated parent/carer volunteers host our annual Mother's and Father's Day stalls.

NAIDOC Week
Students and staff celebrate NAIDOC Week each year by wearing mufti clothes in the Aboriginal flag colours of red, black and yellow. All classes learnt about the history of NAIDOC Week to recognise Australian Aboriginal culture, history and achievements. Our students also have the opportinuty to learn Traditional Indigenous games like Kai (a cooperative ball game) and Munhanganing (a game like Tips). Students also spend time in the Bush Tucker Garden, where Yarning Circle discussions take place.
Blacktown Learning Community (BLC) SteamTeam Challenge
Selected students from Years 3 to 6 are taking part in an exciting STEAM Team Challenge—a non-competitive program involving several local schools. This initiative aims to strengthen students’ skills in coding, robotics, and digital technologies, all while encouraging collaboration and creative problem-solving.
Grandparents Day
Grandparents Day is a special annual event at our school, celebrating the invaluable role grandparents play in our students’ lives and learning journeys. Each year, we welcome grandparents and families to join us for open classrooms, where they can experience firsthand the wonderful activities and learning taking place. The day also includes a picnic recess and a showcase performance, providing opportunities for connection, fun, and celebration. Grandparents Day is a cherished tradition that strengthens our community and honours the invaluable contributions of our grandparents.
P&C Colour Run
The Colour Run is one of our school’s most exciting and vibrant events! Students, staff, and families come together for a fun-filled day of running, laughter, and bursts of colour. It’s a fantastic way to promote fitness, school spirit, and community, while also raising funds to support our school programs. The Colour Run is always a highlight on our calendar, creating wonderful memories and bringing our school community closer together.
