3/4 Camp Parent Volunteer Reminder:
We are urgently seeking parent volunteers to support our upcoming 3/4 ADANAC camp. Volunteers can assist either for the day or stay overnight. If you are available and would like to help, please reach out to nicholas.dix@education.vic.gov.au.
We would greatly appreciate your support!
This week has been another exciting week of learning in 3/4!
Students had the wonderful opportunity to work alongside Bunnings to plant some new fruits and vegetables in our school garden. Students enjoyed getting involved in the gardening process and helping to grow and care for our school environment.
In Maths, students have been exploring Statistics and Probability. We have been learning about the language of probability, the likelihood of different events occurring and collecting and representing data. Students have particularly enjoyed conducting chance experiments and sharing their findings with their classmates.
Our Guided Inquiry projects are also well underway, with students working hard to prepare their project for our upcoming Showcase. As part of their projects, students have designed and created their own maps for the towns they have developed. It has been wonderful to see their creativity and team work skills as they bring their towns and ideas together. We invite families to join us on the 17th of September, 3:00–3:15pm for the Showcase and take the opportunity to see the wonderful work students have created and celebrate their learning and achievements. We look forward to sharing their hard work with you!
Warm regards,
The Senior Team
Nick, Julia, Amanda, Gabby, Jonny, Miss Liu, Roz, Miss Teo, Ciara, Claire and Sam
Reminders:
- Compass permission for Year 3/4 ADANAC Camp 2026

Attention Year 6 Families - Baby Photos for Graduation
We are looking forward to celebrating Year 6 graduation at the end of the year, with preparations already underway!
One of our beloved traditions is sharing three baby photos from between the ages of 0-5 as part of the presentation. We are asking if you could please email gradesixgraduation@gmail.com with these three photos by November 30th. We usually recommend one baby photo, one toddler and one around kinder age, but any family favourites will be great!
Also, if your child attended another school prior to MPRPS and you have their school photos, it would also be much appreciated if you could send those through.
We will send reminder messages over the coming weeks, but we like to get an early start as it takes a while to collate everything! Thank you so much for your support!
