Open Afternoon
Next Wednesday 20th March at 2:40pm we are welcoming our families into classrooms to see what learning has been happening in Term 1, and for our students to celebrate all they have achieved so far. Our specialist teachers will also be showcasing work so that families can also see what has been happening in their programs. We look forward to welcoming you all next week.
School Council 2024
Our 2024 School Council met for the first time last week. We welcomed our new council members- Alison, Gurdeesh, Fiona, Peter and Binara and Stephanie Pollard, and our returning members, Vicki, Claire, James, Casey and myself. Vicki has been nominated as our School Council President for 2024. Thank you Vicki for taking on the President role for our community.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank those members whose tenure has finished - Melanie, Matthew, Jodi and Julie. The MVPS community appreciates your time and dedication over the years to the school council and subcommittees, and for the impact you have had in improving MVPS!
Sub Committees
School Councils form subcommittees to assist the Council in performing their duties and functions. Subcommittees are advisory bodies to the school council:
● they assist council with performing their duties and functions, and
● are generally established to support school council in specific areas.
Subcommittee membership is open to non-school-council members:
● providing the opportunity for the school community to be involved in school council matters.
The School Council:
● decides the purpose and terms of reference of a subcommittee
● has the final responsibility for decisions.
Subcommittees cannot make decisions on behalf of the School Council.
We are inviting members of our school community to consider joining the following subcommittees:
- Facilities
- Curriculum, Policy and Wellbeing
- Publicity, Marketing and Community
Please email or contact the office to let us know you are interested in joining a committee.
Partnership with Coles Chadstone
Last week I was extremely proud to represent MVPS, along with our students: Evan, Archie, Poppy, Tess, Edward, Ashan, Tehan, Ellie, Kara and Phillip at the launch of the new Coles Chadstone. MVPS has been selected by Coles Chadstone to have an ongoing partnership. They have also donated $3000 towards our Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden program.
Please keep your eyes peeled on Compass for some very exciting information on our Kitchen Garden developments!
