Term 1 Week 6 Friday 24th March
Thank you to our four wonderful school captains Ella, Summer and Ben, who joined me last Tuesday morning for the Mitcham ANZAC Day Dawn Service, Ella, Summer and Ben had the great honour of reading aloud the thought-provoking poem ‘In Flanders’ Field’, and respectfully laid a wreath in remembrance, on behalf of all the Mitcham Primary School community.
Our first MITCHKIDS playgroup for the year was held this morning. It was lovely to see lots of pre-schoolers leaving with big smiles and happily carrying their Mitchkids bags and crafts made during the morning. A big thank you to Mrs Wood and the team of Grade 5/6 student helpers that make our Mitchkids Playgroup so special. Our next Mitchkids playgroup will be in a fortnight on Friday 19th May 10-11am.
This year Victoria will celebrate Education Week from Sunday 14 May to Saturday 20 May.
This year’s theme is ‘Active Learners: Move, Make, Motivate’, which celebrates physical activity, hands-on learning and student voice in education.
We have lots of wonderful activities planned at Mitcham Primary School for Education Week, so many in fact that we are starting one week early, our events include the following:
Our school is receiving many applications for both our Montessori and Mainstream programs, so if you have children already at Mitcham Primary School and a little one about to start Prep next year, please contact the office and enrol now. Or if you know of a friend whose child is at kindergarten, and is expecting them to start here in 2024, please let them know that enrolments are being taken now and if they would like a tour of the school to please contact the office.
This coming Tuesday 9th May we will be hosting our Prep 2024 Information Evening from 6:00pm -7:00pm in the school Library. We are also hosting a working open morning on Thursday 18th May from 10:00am -11:00am and then an Open Evening also on Thursday 18th May 5:00 -7:00pm, we would welcome all our families and friends of Mitcham Primary to visit the school, explore classrooms, celebrate and chat with our staff about all the wonderful opportunities and programs we offer.
Wishing all families, a lovely weekend!
