Mount Waverley Heights Primary School

Multicultural Day 2026 began with an energetic whole-school performance by Bhangra Beats, showcasing classical Indian, Bollywood music and dance. Throughout the day, students immersed themselves in a variety of cultural activities, including Greek dancing, lantern making, and experiencing a traditional Chinese dance performance, before wrapping up with the much-anticipated Grade 6 Dragon Boat race.

We extend our sincere thanks to our wonderful Greek families—Joanna, Nicolette, and Maria—for sharing their culture, as well as our Year 6 families—Amy, Eoin, Kaye, and Ruby—for their support in creating the dragon boats. A special thank you also goes to Romeo and Emily’s grandparents for their wonderful performance, and to our School Council Committee members, Kaye and Prue, who played a key role in running sessions, preparing resources, and organising the delicious lunch.

It was truly special to see so many parents and grandparents involved, helping make the day such a memorable celebration of culture and community.

Year 4 Stem Day: Nasa Engineers. In preparation for our big inquiry projects next term, Year 4s were taken through a Design Thinking Process to make a Mars rover out of pasta. The challenge - The rover must travel the furthest distance possible. The catch - all pasta pieces come at a hefty price! Budget $60,000

Last Friday saw our Year 6's head to Jells Park to compete against other Primary schools in a range of sports. The day was filled with great competition, sportsmanship and most of all fun!!
Congratulations to our Tennis and Cricket teams who were Premiers on the day and our Kickball team who were runners up.

ENTREPRENEUR DAY
WOW - what an incredible event! Congratulations to our 40 market stall owners who did an incredible job making items to sell. It was such a great event. I can only imagine that it will get bigger and bigger as the years go.

Year 5's had a fun filled day exploring Sovereign Hill yesterday. Lots of time spent panning for gold and candle making.

Congratulations to the 44 students who showed great courage and initiative by putting themselves forward for the 2026 student leadership roles.
Year 5 students voted for the peers they believed would make strong leaders. Their speech and how they demonstrated our school expectations were to be considered. From this vote, the top 11 boys and 11 girls were then invited to present their speeches to the Year 3–6 cohort.
Congratulations to our shortlisted girls: Lara, Aanya, Jess, Pippa, Kimberley, Hayley, Kaasvi, Siena, Mira and Zara.
Congratulations to our shortlisted boys: Jax, Romeo, Viraj, Kamal, Vedh, Max, Elijah, George, Rickson, Charlie and Connor.
We have been so impressed with the quality and confidence of all of them. They are all definitely worthy of a captaincy position. Best of luck to you all!

Our students have been starting their transition classes for 2026. At the first internal transition session, students selected 5 friends that they would like in their 2026 class. They also heard about all the great things to look forward to. Our second transition session on Tuesday was an opportunity to complete something which will be used in next years’ class display. Teachers also discussed expectations and requirements of the year ahead.
