你好 (ni hao)

This Week

We are now well into Term 4, and it has been a busy and exciting few weeks for our Year 3/4 and 5/6 students! We hope everyone has settled into the term and is enjoying the many learning opportunities and experiences taking place across the Senior School.

A highlight for our Year 3/4 students has been their recent school camp at Camp Adanac. Students had a fantastic time participating in a range of activities, challenging themselves, building independence and strengthening friendships. Camp provided a wonderful opportunity for students to step outside their comfort zones, work together and create lasting memories. We are very proud of the way our students approached the experience and represented our school. Additionally, we would like to say a massive thank you to all of our parent volunteers who gave their time to help make the camp a success.

Back in the classroom, students have continued to engage in a range of learning experiences across the curriculum. We have been busy looking at mapping and creating persuasive speeches for the upcoming public speaking competition.

As Term 4 continues, we look forward to building on the progress students have made throughout the year and making the most of the many opportunities still to come. Thank you, as always, for your ongoing support and partnership.

Warm regards,

The Senior School Team

Nick, Julia, Amanda, Gabby, Yana, Miss Liu, Roz, Miss Teo, Ciara, Claire and Sam

Reminders:

Reminder to please leave toys at home.

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 to us with these three photos in an attachment by November 30th. We are aware that there have been some issues with this email - gradesixgraduation@gmail.com. So we would kindly recommend that you send the photos to your child's classroom teacher instead through Compass.

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!
