Pick My Project

Great news! The full funding for the Mount View Pick My Project Development has been

received and we can now move to final project planning. A total of $198,000 will provide:

 three mini-basketball/hot shots tennis courts

 reversible basketball and netball towers

 artificial turf surfaces

 a range of fitness stations

All of the courts will be built at the bottom of the ramp on the side of the oval while the fitness

stations will be spread around the eastern side of the oval. Phase one will include the courts

and towers while phase two will include the fitness stations. The total project will be

welcomed by all of the students as well as community members who utilize the facilities

outside school hours.

NAPLAN

All students in Years 3 and 5 have completed the NAPLAN Tests in English and

Mathematics over the last two weeks. I am pleased to share that the online nature of the

testing this year went very well with a minimum of delay. I commend the students on the way

in which they approached the testing and I am proud of the way in which they applied

themselves. The results will be analysed by the teachers and school leadership team when

they are made available. Parents should receive the NAPLAN report for their child by August

this year.

Election BBQ

Thank you to those parents who volunteered to help with the Election BBQ held last

Saturday. Over $900 was raised for the school through the support of the Mount View

community.

Senior Learning Centre Ramp

The ramp to the Senior Learning Centre has been recarpeted and looks very smart. The new

carpet overcomes a potential trip hazard in this high traffic area.

Education Week

Education Week at Mount View has been held this week. The main feature of the week was

the open afternoon on Tuesday which was attended by a number of current and prospective

parents.

Reports and Parent Teacher Interviews

The Student Mid-Year Reports are currently being written by all of the teachers and these

will be released to parents on Friday, 21 st of June. Parents will have the opportunity to speak

with the teachers about the reports at the Parent Teacher Interviews which will be conducted

after school on Monday 24 th and Tuesday 25 th of June. This is a change in the reporting

arrangements at Mount View in response to parent feedback about reporting student

achievement and progress.

ISSE Delegation

The International School to School Experience delegation from Cancun, Mexico will arrive in

Melbourne on Sunday after spending Saturday in Sydney. We look forward to meeting the

delegation for the first time at school on Monday. The assembly on Monday afternoon will be

an opportunity for the delegation to meet all of the Mount View community.
