Assistant Principal Updates
It has been great to celebrate lots of different student achievements as part of our recent assemblies with lots of exciting learning happening within and beyond our school gates. Congratulations to all of our students for the support they gave during Homelessness Week. Whether you contributed to the SRC's winter warmth drive or helped our senior school in some way support the Mornington Community Centre's "Toastie Train", you have helped to make a positive difference to those in the world around you. Well done to all! With Book Week and Hoop Time in full swing, we will get to keep celebrating special learning and sporting moments together in upcoming assemblies. We will also be taking the time to focus on the importance of mental health across our school in the last few weeks of term. Every class will be learning about the importance of mental health and how individuals can employ strategies to positively impact their own mental health and wellbeing.
2026 Parent Opinion Survey
Earlier this week, I communicated via email about the opening of the parent opinion survey. I am hopeful that lots of parents give their perspective on our school so we can best plan for the future. Please see the communications below for more information.
You are invited to participate in the annual Parent / Carer Opinion Survey. Your opinions are important to us, and your feedback will assist our school in gaining an understanding of families’ perceptions of the school climate, student behavior and student engagement.
The survey will be conducted online and only takes 20 minutes to complete.
The Parent / Carer Opinion Survey will be open online from Monday 17 August to Friday 18 September 2026.

School Communications
I would like to remind our community to make direct contact with the school office via phone or in person to relay any messages that have time urgency to deliver to your children. Our whole school email address is checked regularly but we do not want to miss essential communications from your family regarding absence, medication or changed collection arrangements. For other inquires that are non-urgent, please continue to use the school email and we will respond as soon as we are able. mount.eliza.ps@education.vic.gov.au
