MPW Fun Run

We will be holding our 28th Annual Fun Run on Friday 30th August  from 9.00 to 10.30am.  All the students & teachers will be involved and can run, jog, skip, hop, walk etc. for one hour.

We cannot run this event without your assistance so don’t be shy! It’s also a great way to get to know other parents & support the children as they run past. Please complete the attached form below if you are able to assist.

Athletics Trials

The Gr 4, 5 & 6 students have been participating in Athletics Trials.  Today we finally had some sunshine!! Each age group rotates through each event.  At the end of our trials we will select our Athletics Team to compete in District Athletics on Friday 16th August at Aberfeldie Park.

Swimming

As part of the Victorian Government Swimming in Schools initiative, our year 5/6 students will participate in a swimming program next term.  The initiative was developed to increase the opportunities for students to learn how to swim, and ensure they develop lifelong skills in swimming and water safety to reduce their risk of drowning and injury.  Swimming and water safety programs in schools incorporate both in-water practical components and in-class theory components. 

This will take place in Week 4 at Maribyrnong Aquatic Centre.  A reminder that permission forms need to be returned ASAP, along with swimming surveys.
