Yesterday, our Semester 1 and 2 Student Councillors were a ‘Councillor for a day’ at the chambers. They discussed local government, met with Mayor Alison Xamon to learn about her leadership and also presented some of their own concerns and ideas. We are so proud of our student leaders and the way they prepared and conducted themselves.

🎨🖌️Year 3 students explored the colourful and playful artwork of Japanese artist Takashi Murakami. They created their own bright flower motifs inspired by Murakami’s cheerful and expressive style, experimenting with colour, pattern and repetition. The students then designed and decorated pots for their flowers to sit in, creating a fun and vibrant three-dimensional artwork.🎨🖌️

🏃‍♀️🏅 Faction Finals Day 1 – 🏅🏃‍♂️
What a fantastic start to the 2026 Faction Athletics Carnival at Mount Hawthorn Primary School! 🌟
Our students gave their best across the Long Jump, Throws and Distance events, showing fantastic enthusiasm, effort and determination. It was wonderful to see some great results, but even more importantly, plenty of team spirit, encouragement and good sportsmanship throughout the day.
A huge thank you to our wonderful staff and parent helpers who gave up their time to make the day such a success. In particular, a big thank you to Stephen F for stepping in to help run one of our Long Jump pits, along with Amanda M, Lee G, Sarah W, Chris F, Jess W, Analeogh B, Emma P and Kate O.

Echoes Across Oceans 🎶🌏 Music Cultural Exchange

MHPS was delighted to take part in a very special musical and cultural exchange with visiting primary school students from Taiwan.

As part of the Echoes Across Oceans project, the students visited our school to watch our band rehearse before the talented Hsinhu Primary Recorder Ensemble performed for our Year 4–6 students. Hearing the beautiful range of recorder pitches and such a polished performance was truly magical, and a wonderful source of inspiration for our students.

The experience continued with shared music activities and the chance to discover some traditional Taiwanese toys, giving our students another meaningful way to learn about each other’s cultures.

The day concluded at the magnificent Perth Town Hall, where our orchestra students joined the Hsinhu Recorder Ensemble for a very special evening performance.

A memorable celebration of music, culture, friendship and connection across oceans. 🎵💛

Year 5 -Claude Monet Project

Year 5 artists explored Claude Monet’s famous Water Lilies series, creating their own miniature artworks on canvas. They experimented with colour and brushwork, incorporating a Japanese-style bridge and printed water lilies to create a beautiful, layered garden scene inspired by Monet’s love of nature. 🎨🌸 #🎨🌸

🌻 National Science Week 2026 – Seeds of Science: Nurturing Knowledge for All 🌱

Our Year 2 & 3 scientists had an incredible day of rich, hands-on learning as we launched our National Science Week investigations!

The classroom was buzzing with curiosity as students explored estimation, discovered the fascinating life cycle of plants, planted seeds, and investigated what plants need to grow and thrive. They also rolled up their sleeves and got their hands dirty creating their very own seed bombs—a fun way to help spread native flowers and support our environment.

Over the coming weeks, students will continue their scientific inquiry by observing the growth of their sunflowers, investigating each stage of the plant life cycle, and identifying the different parts of a flowering plant. Several experiments will be coming home so students can continue making observations with their families. Many are already excited to begin their own Plant Growth Journal, recording predictions, observations, measurements, and discoveries as their plants grow.

The excitement doesn’t stop there! Next week, our Year 2 & 3 students will dive into the fascinating world of Forensic Science, where they’ll investigate clues, analyse evidence, and think like real scientists. It’s sure to be another unforgettable day of discovery!

A huge thank you to our wonderful parent helpers who generously gave their time to support today’s activities. Your enthusiasm and assistance helped make this such a memorable learning experience.

🌱 Growing curious minds… one seed, one question, and one discovery at a time! 🔬💚

Our music students in orchestra and band began the term on a high note with our annual music camp at Ern Halliday, Sorrento. 🎶
For many of our Year 5 students, it was their very first experience playing in an ensemble—a memorable milestone in their musical journey.
Students from Mt Hawthorn, Kyilla, Jolimont, Maylands Peninsula and North Perth schools, who together make up our Area Band, came together to build friendships through music while enjoying a range of team-building activities.
There was plenty of delicious food, a fun Minute to Win It games night, and a special concert for parents where students proudly showcased everything they had achieved over the two days.
We congratulate all of our students on their outstanding behaviour and enthusiasm throughout the camp. A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated IMSS teachers, parent helpers and past students who generously gave their time to mentor our young musicians.
A very special thank you to our wonderful parent coordinator, Hayley Makuch, whose incredible organisation and support helped make the camp such a memorable and successful experience for everyone involved.
