Welcome to Term 3

It has been a great start to Term 3 at Mount View Primary School. Our students have returned to school with big smiles, eager to reconnect with their friends and teachers. It’s been a smooth and positive beginning, and we’re pleased to see everyone settling quickly back into classroom routines.

There are many events and important dates to look forward to this term:

Friday 1 August – Curriculum Day

Students will not attend school on this day as staff engage in professional learning focused on the Victorian Teaching and Learning Model (VTLM) 2.0. Their Care will be running a full-day program, and families are welcome to book a place for their child if needed.

Monday 4 – Friday 8 August – Year 5 & 6 Ski Camp

Some of our Year 5 and 6 students will head to Mount Buller for a three-day alpine adventure.

Wednesday 13 August – Science Week Open Morning

All families are warmly invited to visit classrooms from 9:00am as part of our Science Week celebrations. More information can be found in the flyer included in today’s newsletter.

This is definitely a highlight of the school calendar. Students are encouraged to come dressed as their favourite book character and join us for a special assembly to celebrate the joy of reading.

Wednesday 20 August – Year 3 Camp at Lake Dewar

Our Year 3 students will set off on their very first school camp. This is a wonderful opportunity to build independence and teamwork.
