Principal Report
Hot Chocolate Day - With a burst of cold weather this week and Winter
starting today, Hot Chocolate Day yesterday was certainly very welcome! As you
can imagine preparing over 700 hot chocolates requires a very good system and
lots of dedicated helpers. We had both! Thank you SEC for coordinating the event
from collating orders, purchasing and all our terrific helpers for a great team effort
on the day! Thank you parents for supporting the event. Social Events Committee
have some more terrific events coming up including the Recycle Clothes Party
tonight at 7.30pm and a student disco later this term. Have a look at the SEC page
in the newsletter for more details.

weeks to go teachers have been preparing the students’ first semester reports.

Reports and the conferences together provide a great way to see our students’

Student Led Conferences on Tuesday June 27 (Pupil Free Day) - How to make an online booking.
Student Led conferences will be conducted for all students on Tuesday 27 June. Bookings can be made on line from
Monday 19 June at 8am onwards. Bookings will close at 2pm on Monday 26 June. After that deadline you will need to
contact the teacher directly to arrange a time for the conference. The office Administration staff will not
be able to assist you with this matter as they will be unaware of the availability of individual teachers.
Please visit the MMPS website http://www.mtmarthaps.vic.edu.au/ and click on the Student Led
Conferences link found on the home page. Use the password you have been given to access the
system. Passwords will be sent home with the eldest child from each family on Friday 16 June. If you do not receive a
password you should ring Hugh O’Brien on 5974 2800 for assistance. Once you have accessed the PTO site you will
be able to view the available timeslots for the teacher/s you need to make an appointment with.
PTO gives parents a full picture of time slots available for all of their children’s teachers. Security of information is
maintained by password protected access for parents or guardians approved by the school. Parents can only see
details for their own children. This Parent Teacher Interview software allows parents or guardians to log on 24/7 and
arrange their interviews with teachers from the comfort of their own home, library or anywhere that provides internet
access. Mount Martha Primary School will provide school laptops in the Administration/Reception area during the
booking period for parents unable to access the web from any of the above listed locations.
If you have any queries about this matter please feel free to contact Hugh O’Brien on 5974 2800.
