Our final round of ISS for Term 2 saw us take on Mernda Primary School in a fantastic day of competition.

Unfortunately, Mernda Primary School did not have enough players to field a Girls AFL team or a Mixed (Boys) Netball team, resulting in forfeits and wins for our teams.

There were plenty of highlights throughout the day, including our Girls Netball team securing their first win of the season! Both Soccer teams also continued their strong form with impressive victories to finish the term on a high.

Congratulations to all students who represented the school throughout the ISS season. Their effort, teamwork, sportsmanship, and commitment have been outstanding.

In other sporting news, on Wednesday we had both a Girls and Boys team represent the school at the Hockey Gala Day held at Greensborough Hockey Club. It was a fantastic day of hockey, with students demonstrating great skill and sportsmanship. A special congratulations to our Girls Hockey team, who were crowned champions on the day and have now qualified for the North Melbourne Regional Hockey Finals, which will be held in Term 3.

Round 5 Recap
Round 5 saw our teams travel to Whittlesea Primary School for a challenging day of competition. Whittlesea proved to be a strong opponent across all sports, and our students worked hard to compete right to the final whistle.

Despite the tough matchups, our Mixed Soccer team continued their impressive season, securing our only win of the round. The team demonstrated great teamwork and determination to keep their strong form going.

Well done to all students for their effort, resilience, and sportsmanship throughout the day.

Round 6 Recap
Round 6 took us to Donnybrook Primary School on a cold and windy morning. Despite the challenging conditions, our students put in an excellent effort across all sports, finishing the day with 3 wins and 3 losses.

A special mention goes to our Mixed Soccer team, who remain undefeated this season, continuing their fantastic run of results.

Another highlight of the day was our Mixed AFL team recording their first win of the season in dramatic fashion! With the game on the line, Grade 5 fill-in Austin took a crucial mark and calmly kicked the winning goal right on the siren. It was an exciting moment and a fantastic reward for the team's persistence and effort.

Congratulations to all students on their performances across both rounds.

A highlight of the round was our Girls Soccer team, who celebrated their first win of the season with an impressive 5–0 victory! Talia had an outstanding game, scoring 4 goals, while Sofia added another goal to complete the result. The team should be incredibly proud of their effort and teamwork.

Our Boys Soccer team also put in a strong performance, battling hard from start to finish and earning a well-deserved draw.

On Wednesday 20th May, 56 of our students represented the school at the Bridge Inn North District Cross Country held at Bundoora Park. Although the forecast predicted rain, the weather turned out to be perfect for a fantastic day of running and competition.

All students demonstrated outstanding effort, resilience, and sportsmanship throughout the event, and we are incredibly proud of the way they represented our school.

Round 3 of ISS saw us travel to Donnybrook to take on Hume Anglican Grammar. It was a long bus trip, but students arrived ready to compete and enjoy a beautiful sunny morning of sport.

All teams represented the school with great effort, teamwork, and sportsmanship throughout the day. A big thank you to our Grade 5 students — Dharma, Aara, Indy, Aria, Moksha, and Sireen — who stepped in to help fill teams. Your support was greatly appreciated!

We celebrated two fantastic wins from our Girls AFL and Mixed Soccer teams. An even bigger achievement is that both teams remain undefeated this term — an excellent effort by all students involved!

Check out the scores below.

Round 1 of ISS kicked off in perfect conditions, with our students taking on St Paul’s in AFL, soccer, and netball. It was fantastic to get the season underway with great energy and sportsmanship across all three sports. It was a home game with soccer and netball being played at school and AFL at Waterview Reserve. 

We came away with 2 wins across the three sports (see scores below), which is a great start to the term!

A big thank you to our Grade 5 girls — Indy, Aria, Evie, Moksha, and Sireen — who stepped up to fill in for the girls' AFL team. Your effort and willingness to help out is greatly appreciated.

Next week we have a bye, before heading away in Round 3 to take on Hume Anglican Grammar in Donnybrook.

Well done to all students involved!

What an amazing day at our MPPS Fun Run! The weather was absolutely perfect, creating the ideal conditions for a fantastic event filled with energy, excitement, and smiles all around.

A big thank you to our incredible staff who arrived early to set up and worked hard throughout the day to keep everything running smoothly. We also appreciate our parents and families for coming along to support and cheer on our students—it truly made the day extra special.

Lastly, a huge shoutout to our Grade 6 Leadership Team who supported our SLC and PLC students and helped pack up the entire course at the end of the day. Without everyone’s help, the event simply would not have been possible.

The Fun Run also doubled as Cross Country tryouts for our 9/10, 11, and 12/13 year old students. Congratulations to those who finished in the top 10 and have qualified for the team—families can check Compass in the first week of Term 2 for further details.

Yesterday’s Staff vs. Grade 6 basketball matches at lunch were a fantastic way to finish off the term! It was great fun, with everyone giving their best effort and showing awesome sportsmanship throughout. A big thank you to all the younger year levels who came out to watch and cheer—it really added to the atmosphere. We’re already looking forward to the next match-up at the end of Term 2… what sport will it be?

On Monday, our students were treated to an unforgettable experience as five Carlton Football Club players visited our school!

Harry Dean (#35), Talor Byrne (#39), Ashton Moir (#43), Harry O'Farrell (#22), and Campbell Chesser (#31) spent time out on the oval connecting with students, having a kick-to-kick, signing autographs, and posing for plenty of photos.

The excitement and energy from our students was incredible, and it was fantastic to see so many smiling faces enjoying such a special opportunity. Experiences like this create lasting memories and inspire our students to stay active and engaged in sport.

All Year 3–6 students will receive a group photo and a copy of the players’ signatures on Friday.

A big thank you to all of our students and families who participated in National Ride2School Day! It was wonderful to see so many students walking, riding, scooting, and skating their way to school with big smiles on their faces.

By choosing active travel, our school community made a really positive impact on the environment. Fewer cars around the school means less traffic, reduced pollution, and cleaner air for everyone. It also helped create a safer and calmer start to the day for our students and families.

Beyond the environmental benefits, it was fantastic to see our community come together to support healthy and active lifestyles. Events like this encourage great habits, build independence, and promote wellbeing for all of our students.

Thank you again for your support in making the day such a success—we love seeing our school community making a difference!
