PRINCIPAL'S REPORT
Dear Parents and Friends,
FOUNDATION 2017
FOUNDATION 2017
Mrs Lough and I have been very busy with school tours for Foundation 2017. It is terrific to hear from our potential parents that Mentone Park has such a wonderful reputation in the community (something we already knew!) and that they are so keen to come here.
Don't forget if you have younger siblings beginning at MPPS next year, please collect an enrolment form from the office and complete ASAP.
COMMUNITY EXPECTATIONS
The Department of Education have developed a Community Code of Conduct for parents, students and staff working in our schools. Schools are working with your most valued possession - your children! When issues arise at school for your child, it is natural that you always want what is best for them and to ensure matters are resolved quickly and positively. As schools, we want the same outcome! It is my role as Principal to ensure the well being of all students at Mentone Park PS and to maintain a positive, harmonious school climate. By following the Code of Conduct we work together to achieve our goal of providing a safe, supportive and inclusive environment for your children to become confident and creative individuals. Click on the link below to review the Code.

Have a great week!

ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS
Congratulations to our latest achievement award recipients and our Aussie's of the Month for May - Conor and Joanna! Great work everyone.
Around the Grounds
It has been wonderful to see so many children enjoying our new play equipment in the junior playground. This week I met with one of our lovely parents, Helen - a landscape gardener, to begin discussing ideas for creating a natural play space and sensory garden in the area alongside the junior playground. Helen has drawn up some lovely sketches and ideas for this space and once our building works are complete, we will be seeking further input from the students and community before formalising the plans to create this area. At this time, we will be seeking donations of materials and plants and will hold some fundraising events to ensure we are able to make this an exciting place for the children to play and explore. If you have any ideas, or know of anybody who would like to assist our school with this project, please come and see me!
CANBERRA
I was fortunate to be able to attend the first ever 5/6 camp to Canberra two weeks ago. Everyone had a wonderful time and it was amazing how many things we were able to see and do in just 3 days in Canberra - not to mention the fun of the bus trip, beautiful scenery and historic places we stopped along the way. Well done to all students on their excellent behaviour and participation in activities. Thank you to Mr Riley, Mrs Sampieri, Miss Liddington, Alison Bondini and our lovely 4th year Pre-Service Teacher, Miss Hill for spending the week looking after our students! What a wonderful, unforgettable experience these students and teachers have had!
