Student Led Conferences

 

Student Led Conferences will be taking place in classrooms on Monday 16 September from 3:45-6:00pm.

The student led conferences are key to the IB PYP at Mount View Primary School. They provide students with the opportunity to lead a reflective conversation with you to share their learning growth. Students will share some of their learning highlights from this year and your role is to celebrate their progress and achievements.

 

You can book your child’s 10-minute  student-led conference through Compass.

 

Please note that the Year 5 student conferences are being held next Tuesday, 10 September due to the timing of their production.

 

Cybersafety-Parent and Carer session Tuesday 10 September

Young people use digital tools and technology to support their learning, for entertainment and for connecting with friends. We understand that it can be difficult for you to know how to best support your children to keep safe online.

We are hosting a parent/carer session to:

  • Identify some of the ways that our students are using technology
  • Explore the opportunities and challenges that digital technology brings
  • Share ways that you can support your children to keep safe online

I will lead this session which will be held on Tuesday September 10 at 6.30pm in the staffroom.

 

Please complete this form to let us know if you will attend and you can also share any questions or topics that you would like to be covered during the session.

RU Okay Week poster competition – Entries due by Tues 10 Sept

To help celebrate R U Okay Day on Thursday 12 September, we are running a Mount View poster competition. All students are invited to design, draw or paint a poster that demonstrates how we check on and chat with friends about how they are going and if they are okay.

 

 

R U Okay Day highlights the importance and skills involved in building strong meaningful friendships and conversations. Here’s the link to find out more about R U Okay Day.

 

Your child can make a poster at home for the competition. This is a great opportunity to talk with your child about how they care for their friends and to check on how they are going too.

 

Posters can be shared with your child’s teacher or handed into the  front office by Tuesday 10 September 3pm. I encourage you to read the Compass message for further information. 

 

Nude Food Wednesdays

There continues to be a lot of rubbish in our yard and I thank you for supporting the Green Team in their Nude Food Wednesday. Please consider how much packaging is in your child’s lunchbox every day and talk to your child about how they can contribute to ensuring that our school environment is kept clean so that we can all enjoy it..
