Education Week Reflection
It was fantastic to see so many families come along to our Open Evening last week. We hope that you all enjoyed visiting the classrooms and chatting to our amazing staff. Please click on this video to see more from the evening.
Community Feedback Survey
A very big thank you to the twenty- five respondents who completed our school teaching, learning and leadership survey. We will be sharing this feedback with our staff regarding what we can celebrate and where to next. Please know my door is always open if any families have concerns that they would like to discuss.
Canteen Trial 2nd June
It has been a mission for Shino and Binh to get enough canteen volunteers for Friday lunches so we will be trialling a new lunch delivery service called Beaver’s Tail. If you would like to see what they have on offer, click on this link and select another local school whilst we wait for Malvern Valley to be added. If we receive positive feedback from our families about this lunch delivery service we will be able to offer lunches on Thursdays and Fridays. This will also mean that the PA may wish to run canteen recess windows or speciality lunches at other times to raise money for school projects. The canteen committee members and I thought the prices were pretty reasonable so now we need to know from the community whether the food is tasty!
Pavement Painting Update
The pavement painting has begun with a number of games refreshed last week. The designs requested by the students have been submitted and we will hopefully see the new pavement games and educational resources added early next term.
2024 Enrolments
2024 enrolments are now open and I urge all current families with children starting prep next year to complete their enrolment forms as soon as possible. This information will help guide staffing and class sizes for 2024, and will assist us to ensure that Prep packs and resources are ready and available for transition later this year. If you know of other families with children beginning Prep in 2024, please encourage them to enrol soon, either at MVPS or at their local school.
Semester One Reports Reminder
The end of semester reports will be available via Compass on the 16th of June. Based on community feedback from last year, each student will receive personalised comments for English, Mathematics, Humanities and for each Specialist subject. For English and Mathematics, we have introduced a “Next steps in Learning” section to enable families to know how they can support their child with future learning in these key areas.
An important aspect of the reporting process will be the Parent Teacher meeting scheduled for Monday 19th of June. These are 15-minute interviews on school site which will provide families the opportunity to discuss their child’s achievements, social development, and future learning goals. If you require a meeting online or an alternative day and time, please contact the teacher directly.
The Parent Teacher Interviews will open for booking on Tuesday 23rd of May at 9am. Save this date in your diaries and phone calendars now. A Compass post will also go out to remind families to book.
*Please note that Mr Patterson and Ms Airey’s Interview times will be scheduled for another time so please wait for communication from the teachers regarding a booking time.
Working Bee 2nd June 2:30pm
We are seeking your help on the 2nd of June to complete the painting works, help sort the Science room and Sports shed and assist with some general maintenance from 2:30pm. This will be our first Working Bee for the year and hopefully we do not get rained out! You do not need to have specialised experience. Some tasks will be painting, raking, helping stain the decking area and general tidying up. Come and join in the fun!
