Leadership @ MPS

It is always the same - we get to the beginning of Term 4 and wonder: where the time has gone? Term 4 is always an exciting, yet exceptionally busy term, so please keep an eye out for all communications that will come your way.

Term 4 Staff Update

Welcome to Dom Bolger -  3/4B classroom teacher

Welcome to Natalie Hattam - School Nurse

Amy Brook -  will take on the role of PE in the Foundation, and 3-6 levels (Charlotte Hunter will take PE in Grades 1 and 2) for the remainder of the term. We are also looking forward to welcoming back Bek Rentos  next week after her time away in the DET head offices. Thank you to Lucinda Thom for her work in the Acting AP role during Bek's absence!

Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony 

We are thrilled that we are able to have a special Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony next Tuesday morning, 18th October, at 10am to mark the beginning of our new build. It will be performed by Wurundjeri Elder, Uncle Ringo Terrick. 

A smoking ceremony is an ancient Aboriginal custom in Australia that involves burning various native plants to produce smoke, which has cleansing properties and the ability to ward off bad spirits from the people and the land and make pathway for a brighter future. 

At Montmorency Primary School we believe that celebrating and learning about culture is important and aim to embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives in all we do. We are excited for our students and families to participate in this special event and for the important learning and discussion that it will encourage.  

Building Project Update

Tenders for the project are in the process of being finalised; however, we still anticipate meeting the timeline for the project stat which will be mid- late November.  

Have a fabulous weekend!
