Keep the MVPS community healthy!

We have many nasty viruses going around and many students and staff have been unwell. There is a critical shortage of emergency teachers, so this is a great incentive for families to be mindful and please DO NOT send your child to school if they are unwell!
Please follow the Department of Health information table here.
Please keep our community safe!

WE WANT OUR PARENTS and CARERS TO TELL US WHAT THEY THINK!

Our school is conducting a survey to find out what parents and caregivers think of our school. The Parent Opinion Survey is an annual survey offered by the Department of Education that is designed to assist schools in gaining an understanding of families’ perceptions of school climate, student behaviour, and student engagement. The survey is optional but we encourage all families to participate. Our school will use the survey results to help inform and direct future school planning and improvement strategies. All families are invited to participate in the survey.

Please keep an eye on Compass, as the survey link and school pin will be sent for you to complete the survey.

Congratulations AJ Bakery!

Our students have had their say, and by a landslide AJ Bakery is the winner! AJ Bakery will be providing the canteen service for our students each Friday. Remember to pack your child/ren their snack for the day. In a few weeks’ time we will see if there is a need for our community to add in another day, possibly Thursday, for our families to access 2 days of canteen.

Fathers Day Breakfast

The Parents Association are proud to celebrate Fathers Day again this year with a special breakfast on Friday 1st September. We invite all MVPS children to bring their father (or other special person) along to celebrate with us. This event is significantly subsidised by the PA however we do ask for a small contribution of $5 per adult to put towards costs of food and fun activities on the morning. Tickets can be purchased here.
