At MHPS families are valued members of the school community and play an important role in their child’s learning. There is a strong culture of mutual trust, and parents and carers and staff work in partnership to support student learning and well-being.  

In June we are providing another opportunity for all parents and carers to have a face-to-face conversation with your child's teacher. 

The Prep to Year 6 conversations will this time include your child. These Mid-year Learning Conversations will focus on progress, achievement and strategies for improvement, with your child present and participating in the conversation. This format will provide a great opportunity to celebrate progress and success, and to set goals for the remainder of the year. Student involvement encourages them to take responsibility for their learning and truly know that some of the most significant people in their lives are working together to support their learning and well-being.  

Our Kindergarten students are not required to be present for the mid-year meeting.  The conversation between parents/carers and teachers will focus on the progress your child has made towards achieving the markers on the Kindergarten Development Check. During the meeting you will have the opportunity to ask any questions and share information about your child.   

Our Year 1 - Year 6 Mid-year Conversations commence on Tuesday 17 June and finish on Wednesday 25 June.

Our Kindergarten Mid-year Conversations commence on Tuesday 17 June and finish on Thursday 26 June.

Coming home today is a letter containing details you need to know, a preference sheet for dates and times, and an agenda where you can record anything you would like to discuss.  Please return the preference sheet and agenda as soon as possible.

Our Specialist Teachers and members of the Leadership Team will be available to support families with childcare for school-age siblings whilst the Mid-year Conversations are happening. Childcare will be available in the Performing Arts Centre.

In line with Department for Education, Children and Young People requirements, a summative report will also be provided this term for students in Years 1 - 6, assessed against the Australian Curriculum using a nine point scale in English, Maths and Science. For students whose learning is not able to be assessed against the Australian Curriculum, a summative report of learning achievement against learning plan goals will be provided.  Evidence of Learning will also be included with the Mid-year Report for the following curriculum areas and year groups:

• Health and Physical Education - Year 1, Year 2 and Year 6
• Information Communcation Technology (ICT) - Year 1 and Year 2
• Music - Year 1, Year 2, Year 3 and Year 4

Mid-year Reports go home on Friday 13 June.

We welcome some more Pre-Service teachers to MHPS next week.  They will be with us until 27 June.  Thank you in advance to our colleague teachers for your guidance and support.

The following sizes are available in the 2025 Year 6 Short Sleeve Leavers Polos. The tops are $40.00 and can be purchased at the school office. These are the last sizes available and no further orders will be placed.

As families are beginning to get their winter clothes ready, we are hoping that any uniform items that your children have outgrown might be donated to school. These come in very handy when students have accidents, get wet or get muddy!
