Senior School
你 好 (ni hao)
Well done to all of our Senior School students who participated in District Athletics this week! It was fantastic to see students demonstrate such determination and courage as they competed, while also showing wonderful encouragement and sportsmanship towards their peers. Congratulations to all students who have qualified to progress to the next level of competition. A huge thank you to David (PE Teacher) for coordinating the event and supporting our students throughout the day.
In English, students in the Leadership Centre have been creating engaging news reports based on events from our text study, How to Bee by Bren MacDibble. They have been exploring the difference between a narrative voice and a journalistic voice, learning the structure and features of a news report, and applying a range of journalistic writing techniques. Students have also been demonstrating their understanding of key events in the novel by selecting and using relevant evidence from the text to support their reports.
In Mathematics, students in 5/6 have been exploring the four quadrants of the Cartesian plane and learning how to locate and describe points using coordinates. Our previous work with positive and negative integers has provided a strong foundation for understanding the positive and negative values represented along the x- and y-axes. It has been great to see students make these connections as they develop their confidence with coordinates.

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!
