Moonee Ponds West Primary School

I'm currently in my senior years in this school and it's been really great. The staff members were nice and friendly and I made lots of friends through out the years. I'll miss this school.

...scrapped its Mother’s Day stall in the name of “diversity” and ­“inclusivity”" Exactly what does that mean?? because it means that the school was kowtowing/submitting to some religious complaints??"

Brilliant School - Teachers are on a first name basis. A Learning HALL to develop social and technical skills. Focus on Learning being Fun, not a chore!

It's been wonderful for our three children.There is a big emphasis on social skills, kindness, inclusivity and responsibility.The teaching is tailored to the child resulting in all three being offered, and accepting, advanced academic places at secondary school (with no home tutor).

Loved my time at this school, as I am now in high school. Friendly teachers and nice learning environment. Was easy to get help when I needed it with work, or help understanding something. Loved doing the specialists like Japanese and Creative arts.

Such a disgrace banning Mother's Day. This school needs to take a good hard look at itself.

While this was a great (ok, It was ok.) School, there are somethings about it that kind of annoyed me when I was there (I am in high school now). Like when the teachers wouldn't listen to what I had to say, or in grade one when my teacher DIDN'T TEACH ME (that much) SPELLING. I still like her though, even though not being able to spell well held me back for YEARS (She didn't teach me that much handwriting either, but that doesn't matter). Also, some of the people where SO ANNOYING. They've graduated now but they would just TALK LOUDLY through the ENTIRE CLASS and the teachers DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. Some of the people where great though, shout out to my grade 3 teacher, Patrick, and my grade 4 teacher, Kim Satchel (if I spelt that wrong I'm sorry). They were FANTASTIC. I learnt so much and I still have the stuff they gave me. Both the memories and the actual paper things. I still laugh when I remember parts of their classes. Y'all were amazing, and if you're reading this, thank you for teaching me. SOME PARTS of primary school on the other hand, weren't so great. Like when they split up the tables for graduation. WHY. I would like to sit with my friends on my last hours there thank you very much. Or how I didn't even know what integers WERE until I stepped through the high school maths classes door! (It's ok, I learn fast so I didn't flunk the test.) OR how we NEVER got enough writing time, though that may have just been me. Or how we did TWO TERMS on FRACTIONS. I KNOW HOW TO DO FRACTIONS AND IT WAS THE SAME LESSONS AS LAST YEAR JUST GIVE THE OTHERS SOMETHING NEW FFS. I'll always remember what happened in all my years. It was... interesting. Would I be a better speller if someone had taught me more? Maybe. Would I be less obsessed with the song Riptide if someone hadn't sung me it on their guitar? Probably. But I know this for a fact; without MPW, I wouldn't be the person I am today.Thank you MPW. Really. Mostly thank you to Patrick and Kim satchel.Also, I got into the S.E.A.L. (accelerated learning program), so you must have done SOMETHING right.P.S. mothers day stall is back, so don't worry about it.

Because they would give my daughter a fit bit and a garmin

As a former student from a year ago, this school is good. Great books at the library, nice teachers, great play area and nice community. The only problem I have have about the school is the lack of homework and the amount of things you can get away with. Me and my friends would casually download Youtube videos and watch movies on the schools laptops.

We've found this school to be excellent for both of our daughters. They place a strong emphasis on social development and helping the kids become confident in groups and with people of all ages, not just the academic side of things.
