Learning for all at Morgan Street Welcome to week five, as you can see from the events listed under ‘Important Dates’ we have an exciting week ahead of us that will provide wonderful opportunities for our students, staff and community. Today saw our SRC elections take place. We are in a very fortunate
position to have many students nominate for the process and it is wonderful that they want to step up and make a difference for our school and community. The elected representatives will be inducted during our Student Leadership Induction on Tuesday 12th March. Our Meet & Greet function will be held tomorrow afternoon from 4pm. Come along, there will be opportunities to find out about your class, ask questions and find out about other school programs. Students will remain on the oval (there will be supervision) while class meetings are taking place. A free sausage sizzle will be available. We look forward to a great school and community event. At our assembly last Friday we had Mr David Shoobridge and Mr Aaron Darley address our school about their upcoming 24-hour bike ride in support of research into Type 1 Diabetes. To support their efforts we will be holding a Mufti Day. Donations from students will be collected on Wednesday morning and all funds raised will go directly to support their fundraising efforts. We look forward to seeing many sporting stars represented as we promote a healthy and active lifestyle. Have a wonderful week of learning!

This is my 4th year at MSPS What’s your favourite thing about working at MSPS? The students are such a pleasure to teach and I get to work alongside some truly brilliant teaching and support staff.

We have made a super start to our Year 6 journey. It is certainly going to be a marvellous year.
We have set ourselves goals to achieve and talked about what we are looking forward to this year.
We know the qualities that makes us superheroes. We have talked about our own personal superpowers and are keen to gain more powers as the year progresses.
Some of our superpowers include:
Teamwork to cooperate with others
Bravery to keep trying when things get tough
Kindness to help others
Curiosity to learn new things
Resilience to bounce back when things do not go our way
So far this term we have enjoyed:
Meeting and getting to know our teachers, Ms Muir and Mrs Gibson.
Creating our own superhero identity.
Participating in team building activities with 6P on Tuesday mornings.
Learning about circuits in Science .
Voting on our Year 6 t-shirt design. We can’t wait for them to arrive!
Starting to create Onomatopoeia art.
Reading about the Egyptian Queen who became a pharaoh.
The opportunity to nominate for House Captains and SRC.
We cannot wait to see what else will happen this year and make the most of our last year at Morgan Street Public School.
