Principal’s Report
Curriculum - Health and Personal Development
Once a week each class teacher has ‘release from face to face’
time to schedule parent meetings, provide feedback to
students on their learning, reflect upon teaching practices and
plan engaging learning experiences for the students. During
this time the classes have lessons in ‘Health’, ‘Personal
Development’, Library and reading comprehension strategies.
During Term 3 the three classes have had lessons in the topic
– ‘How can I keep myself and others safe?’ During learning
experiences students have explored ways to support them to
make healthy, safe decisions, seek good support and keep
active. I encourage you to talk to your child about the
importance of undertaking regular physical activity, eating
healthy foods and having a positive mindset to promote good
health and wellbeing. In particular, I hope that you discuss the
benefits of having ‘less screen time’ and the importance of
‘cyber safety’. It is never too early to start talking to children
about safety online.
Social Media and Children
Recently there have been media reports about very serious
breeches of content on social media, including sites that can
be easily accessed by children. This highlights the importance
of monitoring what your children are accessing online, and
ensuring they know how to seek support when it is required.
A family tech agreement is one way to achieve good
communication around the use of social media in your family.
It is a set of rules about how devices, like smartphones,
tablets, computers, TVs and gaming consoles are used in your
home. It is written down and agreed to by all family members
and kept in a place where everyone can see it (such as on the
fridge).
More information can be found at this ‘esafety’ government
website, including where to report issues of abuse and
concerns: https://www.esafety.gov.au/parents/

School Communication - MPPS
The staff at Mount Pleasant Public School would like to
collect some information regarding the best ways to
communicate with our families during this time, where
COVID-19 restrictions are present. In order to achieve
this we have created a Survey on Google Forms.
Use the link below or scan the QR code with your
phone to access the survey. We would appreciate if you
could fill in all questions and submit your response by
the last day of this term, 25th September.
