School Council 

David Lee MVPS School Council President

Hello Mount View Community!

 

The start of 2019 has gone very quickly, we're already into term 2!

 

A new School Council has formed for 2019, I'd like to take the opportunity to thank the departing members from last year, and welcome both the new parent and teacher members that have joined this year.  This cross representation is an important part of establishing empathy and understanding within our community.

 

Personally, it was a bittersweet moment to see Christian leave as the Assistant Principal, who has been so supportive and empowered me as the School Council President and as a human being.  On that note, I'd also like to welcome with excitement Felicity as the Acting Assistant Principal, who I'm sure will bring amazing energy and expertise to the role.

 

Upon reflecting the past two years on the School Council, it's truly a privilege to serve the Mount View Community, and I am so amazed at the rich cultural diversity we have.  It's certainly not common to have this melting pot, and it fits so well into the PYP framework.

 

With that said, we have a great opportunity to be an example of compassion, kindness and inclusion for each other.  It starts with everyone one of us to take those small steps, like a simple hello, looking out for others on the roads, and like I was thrilled to see on Wednesday - parents cheering our kids on in the adventure run!

 

Here's to a memorable year!

 

Best regards,

 

David Lee
