- Welcome, I'm Kim Streitberger
and I'm proud to be the principal
of Mount Pleasant Road Primary School and Kindergarten.
Our vision is to provide all students
with a safe, dynamic and supportive environment
that motivates and challenges them
to achieve their personal best.
So at Mount Pleasant Road Primary,
we build strong relationships with students,
with teachers, with parents.
So we all have a collective responsibility for all learners.
We have high expectations and we ensure
that we do teach to the point of the student's need.
We're constantly monitoring students' progress
through pre and post testing, classroom observations,
the conferences, the discussions that we have
with our students here and we ensure
through all these things that we implement,
that we are supporting students,
we are extending students and ensuring
that all students here have their needs met.
- We highly value student voice and agency
at Mount Pleasant Road.
Students are involved in every aspect of their learning
from planning through to feedback and reflection.
You have a student representative council or SRC,
and from each class, two students are elected
by their peers and they represent the classes voice.
So they attend meetings with other representatives
from the across the school.
- So we have four specialists programmes.
We have Indonesian performing arts, art, and PE.
I work with an amazing team of really dedicated
and enthusiastic teachers who work really hard
to impart their knowledge and skills
with their subject matter to our students.
We work alongside our classroom teachers
to build upon the skills that the students gain
from their own classes in our classes as well.
- So my son's been enrolled for three years now
at Mount Pleasant Road and he's in grade two.
It's fantastic, it's growth year upon year.
He's adapted from being that child in prep,
who is a little uncertain of a new environment
to really feeling that he belongs.
So the sense of community at the school
is something that's really encouraged his personal growth,
and he loves coming to school.
- It has just been such
an overwhelmingly positive experience.
Right from their first day of kindergarten
through to that easy transition into primary school.
They have loved every minute
of their education at the school.
The friends they've made, the relationships
that they have with teachers.
But all three of my children, they love to learn.
And Mount Pleasant has just made that
such a enjoyable experience for them.
- My kids have had a fantastic experience
at MPRPS and that's been enhanced
by a joint partnership between the teachers
and us as parents.
My kids have individual learning plans
and that caters towards their level of learning
as well as areas that they're really interested in
and challenge them.
- So I would absolutely advocate parents
enrolling their children at Mount Pleasant Road.
- You really will not regret the opportunity
to participate in this community
and to be part of the educational environment
that we have here.
