21.01.2022 The Olympics might not have been held in Tokyo this year, but they were on at Monty South today. Our superstar Prep students participated in a range of track and field events such as high jump, long jump, relays and much more. The future of athletics at Monty South is in very safe hands! A big thank you to our Grade 6 students who guided the preps through each activity.

20.01.2022 Every second Wednesday, the Grade 1s hold a cohort assembly. This week they have been discussing the steps to take to problem solve. They have also been learning some new songs and actions. It’s wonderful to have such a big, open space to meet in our new building

20.01.2022 MSPS baby boom Some of our new mums got together recently with their gorgeous babies. Melanie and Harvey, Rosie and Miller, Jenny and Olive, Amy and Stella and Lucy and Isla. Hopefully they’ll be able to drop in and see us soon!

19.01.2022 This week as part of NAIDOC Week, we have created a ‘Sea of Hands’ in art. The ‘Sea of Hand’s is an iconic symbol of reconciliation and a way for communities ar...ound Australia to engage with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander issues and events. The first art installation of this kind was created in front of Parliament House in 1997. Since then, almost half a million people across Australia have planted their own hand in support of Reconciliation. Our students decorated their hand with their first initial as a symbolic way of showing their support during NAIDOC Week.We look forward to sharing the completed display with you next week. #naidocweek #naidoc2020 #alwayswasalwayswillbe See more

16.01.2022 Year 3 and 4 students have been learning about colour mixing in art They have learnt about primary colours (red blue and yellow) and how, when combined in certain pairs, secondary colours (green purple and orange) are created. Students used this knowledge to create abstract art by drawing with PVA glue then mixing primary coloured chalk together in the spaces. Ask your little artist to tell you all about it!

15.01.2022 Just some of the fun from Grade 4 camp this week

14.01.2022 The Grade 1 students have been travelling around Australia as part of their inquiry unit. Last week they visited the Northern Territory and looked at crocodiles in Darwin. They then commemorated Remembrance Day by visiting different sites in the ACT including the Australian War Memorial, the Royal Australian Mint and Questacon.

14.01.2022 It’s the second week of our Be Wise Walk To Anywhere for the Pat Cronin Foundation. The Grade 4 students all signed up and will be walking every afternoon as a group to raise awareness about being wise, thinking carefully and acting kindly. Today we were fortunate to have Pat Cronin’s mum Robin and aunty Mel join us on our walk. https://patcroninfoundation.org.au/about-us/pats-story/

12.01.2022 To our amazing students, don’t forget you’re braver, stronger and more resilient than you give yourselves credit for. You’re all doing a great job, making your teachers and parents/carers very proud. We are getting through this and we can’t wait to see you as soon as it’s possible

12.01.2022 A good news post Today the Grade 5s and 6s began inter school sport trials. The sports they tried out for today were volleyball, cricket, tennis, basketball and softball. They all had a great time and we look forward to continuing these trials in the future

11.01.2022 In Grade 4 French in the past few weeks, the students have been working co-operatively to build compound sentences about Halloween. They are working to rebuild their classroom tribes by working in mini-tribes, where they collaborate and everyone has an equal and important role to play. Aren’t they are très fantastique!

08.01.2022 Yesterday Grade 1 had their extended stay at school. They stayed until 7.30pm! They played sports on the oval including basketball, egg and spoon races, sack races, relays and much more. Everyone burned up so much energy then refueled with a Subway dinner! After that, they watched a movie before getting picked up. A great way to celebrate the end of the year. Thank you to the teachers who gave their time so the children could have a wonderful afternoon.

07.01.2022 The kids had a great day at the swimming carnival. Well done to everyone who participated! We sure got a good day for it!

06.01.2022 UPDATE: Apologies for the late notice. We were under the impression that being an outdoor venue, parents could attend today’s swim carnival. However, Boroondara Sports Complex have advised due to their COVID policy, this is not the case. We are genuinely sorry for any inconvenience this has caused....

04.01.2022 Foam Mountain Experiment The Grade 6 students continued with their chemical science focus today. This involved mixing hydrogen peroxide and yeast. Another fun day of hypothesising and experimenting!

03.01.2022 During Book Week , our amazing staff made a video based on the Mem Fox book, Where is the Green Sheep?

Here is the link for those who haven’t had a chance to watch it! https://vimeo.com/470403893
