World Teachers' Day
World Teachers' Day is coming up on 30 October. Celebrate our teachers by sharing messages of appreciation using this link: https://www.nsw.gov.au/education-and-training/nesa/awards-and-events/world-teachers-day
Since 2023, the Teaching Gems Map has given schools and the wider community a public platform to celebrate teachers by sharing messages of appreciation. As a school, we share these messages at our staff meetings.
Thank you for helping us recognise the incredible work of our NSW teachers. We can't wait to hear what they mean to our school community.

Important: Planning ahead for 2027: Parent survey
As we look ahead to 2027, we are beginning our planning for classes and staffing. To help us best meet the needs of our students and families, we ask all parents to please complete our short survey.
Your feedback and enrolment information will guide our decisions and ensure we provide the best learning environment for every child.
Please submit 1 survey per child. You do not need to submit a survey if your child is in Year 6 this year (2026).
Surveys are due by 30 October 2026.
Class requests
Additionally, if you have specific requests regarding your child’s class placement, such as students they would like to be separated from or placed with, please email me through the school email.
We value your input and will do our best to accommodate your requests. Please be aware that class placements are made using a range of factors, including academic needs, friendship groups, teacher recommendations, and balancing classes. While we will carefully consider all requests, not every request can be guaranteed due to these considerations. Class requests are due by Friday 20 November 2026.
Homework Academy Expression of Interest
We are inviting parents and carers to indicate their interest in their child participating in our Homework Academy. This initiative offers a 45-minute after-school session, where qualified tutors will provide support for students to complete their school-assigned homework. The program is managed and supervised by an MPS staff member.
Please note, this is not a tutoring session. The focus is on assisting students with homework provided by the school, rather than delivering additional curriculum or remedial lessons.
This opportunity is opt-in, and attendance is voluntary.
Cost: The cost is approximately $15 per 45-minute session. Parents will be asked to commit to a term of sessions (approximately 10 weeks).
If you are interested in your child attending the Homework Academy, please complete this Expression of Interest form: https://forms.gle/gRfvUF31D1E2wgSEA
Please express your interest by Friday 6 November.
Your response will help us gauge community interest and plan for the possible implementation of this program. Once the details of the Homework Academy are confirmed, additional details and an application form will be provided to all families.
