Important Information
Pleasant Snacks
Our student run shop will open in two weeks. The shop is a part of our MoneySmart accreditation and gives students opportunities to work with and understand financial transactions in a real world context. Year Five students submit applications to manage the shop. They order and control the stock, they establish the price list, manage the van, focus on costumer service and manage the float and count the takings. The positions are popular with Year 5 students as one of their first steps in developing their leadership skills.
The quality of the applications this year was amazing and included a lot of detail on the strengths they brought to the position. Congratulations to Shriya, Aarav, Coby and Emma H on being Pleasant Snacks managers for 2020. They will be presented with their badges at assembly on the 28th February. With Claire S, Xavier H, Gurnoor, Sai and Cassidy being a part of the Pleasant Snacks team.

MPRPS supports Vermont South Special School
We have donated some of the goods left over from our Bazaar, held last year, to Vermont South Special School's Twilight Fair. Their fair will be held on Friday 20th March from 3.30pm to 7.30pm. We are fortunate that we could help another community out and hope they have the same success MPRPS did.
