Welcome to Mooroopna Park Primary School
Healthy Food Program
Our Healthy Food program is here!
All students are given morning tea, lunch and afternoon snack every day. This program is free and students do not bring any food to school. Lunch is cooked by our full time chef, Tania, and served in our new cafeteria. Breakfast is also available daily in our cafeteria for any students who would like to join us. SPARK Reading Program
We are fortunate to have volunteers from Commbank visit our school regularly to run the SPARK Reading Program. These volunteers conduct one on one reading sessions on a weekly basis with our younger students.

We also offer specialist programs such as art, music, physical education and health and provide a full time Intervention Teacher. Mooroopna Park Primary School is a place where learning is valued and is supported by all, and we develop in all students a sense of belonging and inclusion. We strive to develop the three-way partnership of the student, parent and teacher to better create and achieve successful learning opportunities for all students. Our school takes a proactive approach to a supportive and caring environment through our Student Welfare & Wellbeing Program, which is supported by a full time Student Welfare Officer and a part time Koorie Educator Support Officer (KESO). The school strives to build pro-social behaviours for students to develop emotional intelligences. Support is offered through Peer Mediation, the Integration program, Cross Age Activities, Better Buddies programs and the School Support Group which impacts upon issues such as bullying, conflict resolution and self esteem, and developing resilience. These strategies and programs create a safe pleasant working environment for the school community. Mooroopna Park Primary School has an increased focus on student needs hence the provision of a Lunch Program providing all food for every student daily and the Kiwanis Club’s ‘Build a Bike Program’. We employ a full time chef to provide nutritious meals for our students. Student share morning tea and afternoon snacks in their classrooms and come to our 'Park Cafe' to enjoy a cooked lunch. The school has a broadening emphasis upon the Early Years. Mooroopna Park Primary School’s vision is of students becoming autonomous life-long learners who contribute positively to our community. |
