Mudgee Public School will have an open day on Thursday, from 10am to 11am, with parents invited into their childrens’ classrooms.

“In the open classrooms, children will go and see their brothers and sisters as well,” deputy principal Roz Rogers said.

Ms Rogers said the school is always open any day for parents to come and see their children at work.

A morning tea will follow the open classrooms, with staff providing goodies for parents and children, after which there will be a concert, the children in the band playing, the choir singing and various other performances.
