Last Thursday we had 48 courageous students who competed in the LSSSA Cross Country Carnival at the Windsor Precinct in Riverside. Their efforts were outstanding and we finished 4th overall. Congratulations to Trevallyn Primary School for winning Division B. Well done to our students who finished inside the Top 10:

Go Mowbray!

We are very much looking forward to our Mid-year Learning Conversations where the focus will be on celebrating progress and achievement, and on setting goals for the remainder of the year together.

Our Prep - Year 6 Mid-year Conversations commence on Tuesday 18 June and finish on Wednesday 26 June.

Our Kindergarten Mid-year Conversations commence on Monday 17 June and finish on Thursday 27 June.

Please note

• Prep - Year 6 students are involved in these conversations so please bring your child/children to the meeting
• Kindergarten conversations are just between adults

Thank you very much to those who have returned a preference form. Our Prep to Year 6 students are excited about sharing their learning with their parents and carers. It is certainly not too late to make an appointment so please contact the Admin Team on 63261892 or email your child's class teacher.

Child care is available in the PAC each day for school aged children.

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.  Written comments will not be included in mid-year or end of year summative reports.  Mid-year Reports go home on Friday 14 June.

Congratulations to the following students who received awards at our last assembly.

Kingball - MHPS v Riverside Primary School

Netball - Invermay Primary School v MHPS

Football - MHPS v Invermay Primary School

Soccer - Trevallyn Primary School v MHPS

To further support our learning around emotional regulation and resilience, students in Prep to Year 6 will be viewing the film Inside Out 2 at the Star Theatre, Invermay.

The film, rated PG, is the sequel to Inside Out, the DVD students viewed at the end of Term 1. The story continues the adventures of Riley, who is now 13 years old, and introduces audiences to some new emotions.

Due to the number of students attending, the film will be viewed across three sessions.

For students attending the morning session, the bus will leave Mowbray Heights Primary School at 9:45 am and students will return to school at 12:00 pm.

Students attending the afternoon session will have an early lunch break and buses will depart at 11:45 am, returning to school by 2:00 pm.

As the film is being shown across break times, access to our canteen will be impacted. Students in Prep, Year 1 - 2 and Year 5 - 6 are to bring a packed recess. Students in Year 3 - 4 will require a packed lunch on Wednesday.

Full school uniform is required and please pack a coat in case of wet weather.

If you have any questions or concerns please make contact with your child’s class teacher.

As families begin 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!

The following sizes are available in the 2024 Year 6 Leavers Polos.  The tops are $35.00 and can be purchased at the school office. These are the last sizes available and no further orders will be placed.
