School News

Attending in 2027

I know we are still in Term Three, but we are starting now to plan for the 2027 school year. We are close to finalising our Prep enrolments for 2027 and another important piece of information we need when planning for a new school year is how many students we will have across the rest of the school. This information is essential when we are planning the number of classes at each level and how much money will be available for staffing, specialist programs, etc.

 If you know that your child will not be at Malvern Primary School in 2027, please let Robyn James know in writing as soon as possible (email: robyn.james@education.vic.gov.au). Please include the school your child will be attending in your email.   

Please do not leave it until Term 4.   We realise that some families find this conversation difficult for a range of reasons, however it will be a huge assistance to us to know as soon as possible.

Parent Teacher Meetings

On Wednesday 16th September (last Wednesday of this term) we will be holding our Term Three Parent Teacher meetings.  

Parents will be invited to book their appointments through COMPASS.  Please watch the newsletter for updates.

Hats at School

School hats are to be worn during all outside activities, by all students and staff, as from the 1st September.  It may be a good idea to start searching for the school hats now so your child has them for the 1st September.  Hats are available from Bob Stewart (uniform provider).

Parent/Carer Opinion Survey

Parents will have received the access details for the 2026 Parent / Caregiver / Guardian Opinion Survey via COMPASS last week and we ask that you take the time to complete it before it closes on Friday 18 September 2026 (last day of Term Three). 

The survey is completed online and should take about 20 minutes to complete. 

The survey can be completed on any internet enabled device (iPad, Desktop or Laptop, Smartphone) and is compatible with most browsers.

Thank you for taking the time to participate. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Footy Colours Day

The last day of this term, Friday 18th September, is Footy Colours Day.  Students are invited to wear footy colours (of any code) to join in the celebrations of Aussie Rules on the day.  

Students will be provided a sausage by the Parents' Association (no cost) for lunch, however parents may wish to provide extra food for lunch if their child requires it. They will also receive a Zooper Dooper icy pole.  Please see your child's teacher if you have any questions or your child has specific dietary needs.

Last Day Term Three

Friday 18th September is the last day of Term Three.  Students will be dismissed at 2.30pm.

Their Care will provide care from 2.30pm.

First Day Term Four

Term Four commences on Monday 5th October.
