Planning for Improved Student Learning - key focus in Mathematics

Celebrations of Learning

Congratulations to our Year 6 students for the way in which they lead our MMPS news segment and to all levels on their contributions to celebrate their learning each Wednesday morning.  Our MMPS news is an active demonstration of our student voice and agency and a way of showcasing the many forms of learning offered to our students.  Thank you to Lize Privitera and Emma Adcock for supporting our students and teachers when preparing our weekly news!!

Celebrations of Inquiry and Specialist learning in The Arts

On Wednesday 26 June we invite students to dress up as their favourite occupation relating to this term’s inquiry foci - Design and Technology, Science and our specialist subject area of The Arts - Visual Arts.  We look forward to seeing construction workers, engineers, scientists and artists at school on Wednesday 26 June in celebration of our students learning for Term 2.  We will also be showcasing student learning for Term 2 in our Student Art Gallery.  The Art Gallery will be open for parents to browse during our student learning conversations on Wednesday 26 June and Thursday 27 June.

Student feedback

Well done to the Senior Student boys who ride their bikes either to and from school. You are showing great responsibility when you walk your bikes while on the school grounds. Great choices!
