Hello everybody,
Welcome to week 2!
It has been such a joy to see how well everyone has settled back into the swing of school life. We have a classroom of happy Foundation students who have enjoyed a week here at MMPS that has included general classroom activities and learning as well as Japanese, Art and Digital Technologies. What an exciting start to their learning journey here at MMPS!
If you come into school on a Tuesday you will see a brand new face! We have Bree Warner joining us in the office to work alongside Amy so if you’re onsite on a Tuesday pop in and introduce yourself!
Tonight there will be a FOS Meeting being held in the staff room here at MMPS from 7:30PM. Everyone is welcome to come along! We are looking to increase the number of parents who are part of our Friends of the School team so if you’ve ever felt like this is something you would want to be a part of tonight would be a great chance to come and see how it all works.
We are all very much looking forward to our Swimming Carnival this Friday. If you have not yet jumped onto QKR to provide payment and permission could you please do that as soon as possible?
Next Monday the grade 6 students will be heading off to the GRIP Leadership Summit being held in Melbourne. Students will hear from a number of experts on what leadership is and how everyone has the ability to demonstrate leadership qualities in our everyday lives.
There has been a lot of work that has been completed over the holidays and will be completed in the coming weeks. These works are done continually across the year to make sure that the school can function smoothly while also being an engaging place for children to learn. We can only complete the following tasks with a combination of external providers as well as parent volunteers. We are so grateful for all parents who have put up their hands to offer support in any way that they can. We ALWAYS welcome expertise so if you’re handy in any way shape or form please let us know and we can support you to support MMPS.
