Principal’s Welcome
Dear Parents, Students, and Community Members,
I am thrilled to extend a warm welcome to you as the proud Principal of Munno Para Primary.
Our vision – At MPPS we support all students to become responsible and successful lifelong learners. We value diversity, respect, inclusion, and the pursuit of personal excellence. Our friendly staff are committed to providing quality teaching and learning programs for all students, so that each child is supported to achieve their full potential.
We are proud to offer a broad and stimulating curriculum within our vibrant classrooms. This includes English, Mathematics, Humanities and Social Sciences and the Child Protection curriculum. Our students have access to a wide range of specialist subjects including Science, Physical Education & Health, Auslan and Technologies.
Our skilled and dedicated teachers work in professional learning communities to design exciting, challenging and innovative learning experiences to reach the needs of all our children. Their goal is to inspire a love for learning, ensuring that our students are well-prepared for the challenges of the future.
We continue to develop strong links with the community and work collectively with the governing council to ensure our school community continues to grow. MPPS is more than a school; it is a flourishing community where we can all participate in the learning aspirations of young children. We encourage families to be actively involved in the education of their children as we strive to develop lifelong learners who are equipped with academic, thinking and personal skills for the future.
If you would like to request a school tour to learn more about our thriving school, please contact administration to make an appointment.
