Why Middleton Public school?
We may be small, but we think of ourselves as mighty!
Smaller size brings greater opportunity for children to share their thoughts, ideas, and questions.
Every Year 6 student takes on individual leadership roles within the school, boosting their confidence and allowing them to develop strong skills as they head towards high school.
Our school dog, Mabel, supports whole school wellbeing approaches and student attendance.
These approaches emphasise the importance of social and emotional well-being of our students.
Every student is seen at MPS, the teachers and staff know our students by name - and we know that is important.
The staff know and understand playground dynamics and friendships, along with unique challenges a student may be facing.
Our core values of being respectful, being responsible and having a positive attitude are reflected across the whole school.
Students develop a love of learning which is led by a passionate and dedicated teaching team including Student Learning Support Officers.
We take pride in our school’s academic results with every student encouraged to do their personal best, and to tackle their boldest, biggest dreams.
This is achieved through innovative and evidence-based curriculum.
Students often require different educational approaches to stay engaged and motivated.
At MPS we do this by tailoring instruction and lessons that challenges students at their level, providing them with enrichment opportunities such as workshops, school clubs that focus on STEM, sport, gardening etc.
Students may participate in competitions where they can showcase their talents and learning from their peers.
Additionally, we offer excursions to exposes students to real-world experiences.
A hallmark of good partnerships is communication, and here at MPS you have the chance to speak directly with your child’s teacher and to our school principal.
Connections are made as you see familiar faces at pick up and drop off and know the names of children across the whole school – not just your child’s class.
Being greeted by the teachers and principal and having people you can count on for reminders and a helping hand are further benefits of attending our beautiful small school.
We look forward to welcoming you to our MPS community.
Our students will not get lost in the crowds!
