FROM THE PRINCIPAL . .
Hello Parents & Caregivers and welcome back to a new term at MPS. I trust the school holidays allowed you to spend some quality time with your children.
The pictures to the right are from our O’Connor block assembly last term and show just how talented our Year 5 & 6 students are. Such moves, such grooves and what confidence they displayed!
Well done kids and of course Mrs Dent, Ms Lorantes and Mrs Solig for their coordination of a really fun assembly.
Next week’s assembly will be hosted by the Year 2 students in Room 3.
SECOND VERSE NOT THE SAME AS THE FIRST! Eagle eyed parents have already commented positively on the new signage in the undercover area. As you can see below, we have placed the words to the National Anthem and the School Creed up above the canteen as well as the State, National and Aboriginal flags.
I think they look absolutely terrific and I’d like to thank Chris and Deb Anderson from 490 Designs (and parents of Jessic and Tobias!) for their superb designs and craftsmanship.
NAPLAN PROGRAM The annual National Assessment Program in Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) will be conducted in Week 3 (10th - 12th May) and will see all Year 3 and 5 students across Australia tested in Numeracy, Reading, Writing, Grammar and Punctuation and Spelling.
Flyers were sent home to parents in Term 1 outlining the program and advising of the options available to parents.
REINVENTING THE CLASSROOM It is with the greatest pleasure that I am able to announce our selection to become a Partnership School with the Digital Promise Global network. Inclusion in this program is very exclusive, with Mundaring PS the only WA school to be selected.
This international program, sponsored by Hewlett Packard and Microsoft, involves a committed group of schools to become Learning Studios and take part in a collaborative global network of Learning Studio schools around the world. A Learning Studio is a place to dream, investigate, design, create and solve.
Learning Studios will receive a full set of equipment, including: Sprout PC by HP; Dremel Idea Builder 3D printer; HP Pagewide Printer; 10x HP Convertible Notebooks; Large format display; Notebook Storage and all associated software.
More information will be provided as this innovative new STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) program is rolled out across the school.
AFTER SCHOOL SPORT We are once again pleased to advise parents that the After School Sports Program will continue on Tuesdays in Term 2.
Expression of Interest Forms are included with this newsletter and must be returned to the front office by 3pm on Friday 6th May.
TERM 2 PLANNER Parents will find the Term 2 Planner included with this newsletter with all events also been placed on the school’s website.

The Kids Marathon has been created to promote exercise, wellness and healthy lifestyles for kids and their families through a variety of
unique training programs and events. The Kids Marathon is a unique format that allows children kindergarten through high school to run a marathon….one kilometer at a time. This goal is for each child to complete 40 kilometers before race weekend. As a culmination to this program, the children will be participating in the Kids Marathon being held at Burswood Water Sports Centre on Sunday 12 June 2016. It will be a fun day of activities and recognition. The goal of the Kids Marathon is to give participants the opportunity to increase their level of physical activity while focusing on reaching a goal. To enter each child ($30) go to www.wamc.org.au and click on “All Events”. All proceeds go to Canteen. All entrants receive a Kids Marathon T-Shirt, Finisher’s Medal and Breakfast on the day. Enquiries may be directed to the WAMC office, via email to [email protected].
BOOK CLUB is due by 13 May 2016. All ordering is only available online by going to scholastic.com.au/LOOP Thank you Karen McCall
