07.01.2022 We ended Education Week on a high note with our annual Scholastic Book Fair. The theme for the Book Fair 2020 was ‘Arctic Adventure’ and we celebrated with an array of activities and competitions to explore the theme. Once again we were in awe of the colour and creativity on display and the level of enthusiasm from our students. Special thanks to all our families who supported this successful Book Fair.

06.01.2022 Today all students were provided with a consent form for carers to fill in if they would like their children's hearing screened at school. We will be using the Sound Scouts App to conduct this and all results will be provided to families straight from the program. It is estimated that 1 in 10 children suffer from hearing loss which, if left undetected can lead to speech, learning and behavioural problems. The World Health Organisation recommends that all children should have... their hearing screened around the time they start school. Every child starting school should have their hearing tested and ideally again in Year 3 & Year 5 in line with NAPLAN. With this in mind, we will conduct a screening for all students now and continue to do so in the future following this advice. Children need to be able to hear clearly in order to learn. If children can’t hear their teacher in a noisy classroom environment, they will struggle to learn. Consequences of undetected hearing loss for a child can include: * delays in speech and language development; * lack of phonological awareness and difficulty reading; * struggling in social situations; and/or * increased risk of academic failure. The Sound Scouts hearing check is a simple way to ensure hearing issues do not restrict a child’s ability to learn and socialise. The test incorporates the science of a hearing test in a fun interactive game.

06.01.2022 It has been a pleasure to invite Ellie, Tex, Archie, Milo and George into our school for Kindegarten transition. It has been a great couple of sessions with lots of fun activities, learning and play. We look forward to seeing you in your school uniform next year with big smiles on your faces. MPS are very lucky to have you and your families in our school community.
