This morning, we invited residents from Quakers Hillside to MHPS. It's amazing how this visit opened up a world of connections and shared experiences for our students, our visitors and our teachers! What a beautiful end to the week! :) @nattacakes @MrJRodas @houze_katy356

Today we had a Kindergarten TAP Session focusing on Mathematics. The enthusiasm during small discussions, the engagement in the activities and the genuine interest in the structure of our Maths lessons- what an invigorating session! #everforward

This term, Curiosity Hour is focused on high expectations and having systems in place to support academic growth and achievement. Staff reflected on their own practices, unpacking with colleagues what they did well in their lessons and the where to next. #lovewhereyoulearn

Our Teacher and Parent (TAP) Session today gave parents the opportunity to see how Component A Mathematics looks like in our classrooms. Proud of how our teachers and families come together to support our students’ in their learning journey 😀🧑🏽‍🏫👩‍🏫

Our Stage 3 Mathematicians immersed in some engaging Maths Chats about decimals! Proud of the learning culture we have built, encouraging a growth mindset of sweaty brains and crunchy eyebrows when tackling Maths investigations #lovewhereyoulearn ✖️➗➕➖

There’s just something about Grandparents Day and the way it brings our MHPS Community together. 👴🏽👵🏼♥️

It’s Walk Through Wednesday! It was the exec team’s turn to be observed for the explicit teaching of Mathematics. Proud of the opportunities we provide our students to access the curriculum, and the relational trust we have built to provide each other feedback. 🧮🥹

This fortnight, we had colleagues from Glendenning PS join us for our Component A English. Last term, we were invited to their neck of the woods to explore the Daily Review in Maths. Love the collaboration and partnerships with schools within the network! ☺️ @27alisonj

Thank you to our amazing SASS staff for everything that you do for our students, our school and our school community. 😊

It’s amazing to see the enthusiasm of our students to write because of the explicit teaching our teachers are providing them and the learning culture we have built. Here are our stage 2 classes writing an alternate ending to Rowan of Rin. ✍️📝

It’s a Faces on the Data kinda day at MHPS. 📈📊Some in depth discussions about the names, needs, numbers and next steps for our students. 😀

This fortnight’s Curiosity Hour was all about strengthening our planning & programming practices to ensure high quality, explicit and engaging Maths lessons. Teachers brought along their programs, providing each other peer feedback discussing what worked well and where to next.

Who doesn’t love the annual Book Week Parade!? 📚♥️ #readingisMAGIC #bookweek2024

Today we launched the Book Stop! Our aim is to streamline home reading borrowing schoolwide so that our students are set up for success (particularly those still on decodables). Students are encouraged to read books at home according to their knowledge of phonemes and graphemes.

This morning some of our students were interviewed by ABC Radio to show our support for former student Olympian Kyle Bruce on Green and Gold Day. GO KYLE!!! 🟢🟡🇦🇺

Happy Primary Principal’s Day @nattacakes! Thank you for everything you do for our little school on the hill and for being our everyday WAGOLL of what authentic, passionate, compassionate, resilient leadership is! 😃💫

MHPS Maths Magic- This year we have implemented Maths Chats across all of our classes. Maths Chats allows students to mentally complete a Maths problem before sharing strategies through whole class discussions. Check out some of our Mathematicians in Stage 2!
