While this was a great (ok, It was ok.) School, there are somethings about it that kind of annoyed me when I was there (I am in high school now). Like when the teachers wouldn't listen to what I had to say, or in grade one when my teacher DIDN'T TEACH ME (that much) SPELLING. I still like her though, even though not being able to spell well held me back for YEARS (She didn't teach me that much handwriting either, but that doesn't matter). Also, some of the people where SO ANNOYING. They've graduated now but they would just TALK LOUDLY through the ENTIRE CLASS and the teachers DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. Some of the people where great though, shout out to my grade 3 teacher, Patrick, and my grade 4 teacher, Kim Satchel (if I spelt that wrong I'm sorry). They were FANTASTIC. I learnt so much and I still have the stuff they gave me. Both the memories and the actual paper things. I still laugh when I remember parts of their classes. Y'all were amazing, and if you're reading this, thank you for teaching me. SOME PARTS of primary school on the other hand, weren't so great. Like when they split up the tables for graduation. WHY. I would like to sit with my friends on my last hours there thank you very much. Or how I didn't even know what integers WERE until I stepped through the high school maths classes door! (It's ok, I learn fast so I didn't flunk the test.) OR how we NEVER got enough writing time, though that may have just been me. Or how we did TWO TERMS on FRACTIONS. I KNOW HOW TO DO FRACTIONS AND IT WAS THE SAME LESSONS AS LAST YEAR JUST GIVE THE OTHERS SOMETHING NEW FFS. I'll always remember what happened in all my years. It was... interesting. Would I be a better speller if someone had taught me more? Maybe. Would I be less obsessed with the song Riptide if someone hadn't sung me it on their guitar? Probably. But I know this for a fact; without MPW, I wouldn't be the person I am today. Thank you MPW. Really. Mostly thank you to Patrick and Kim satchel. Also, I got into the S.E.A.L. (accelerated learning program), so you must have done SOMETHING right. P.S. mothers day stall is back, so don't worry about it.

My time at MPW, especially in Grade 6, wasn't the positive experience I expected. My Grade 5/6 teacher had a way of handling things that didn't always feel fair. For example, when other students expressed themselves freely, I sometimes got into trouble for doing the same thing. It sometimes felt like my opinions weren't truly welcomed, even though we were told they mattered. Despite this, I want to say that the other students at MPW are genuinely amazing and supportive. And honestly, I don't think my teacher's approach is doing her reputation any favors with the students. I believe that MPW could be an even better school if everyone felt comfortable expressing themselves and if things were handled more consistently. It's just my own experience, of course, but I felt I had to share it. And that teacher is Fiona McKenzie.

As a former student from a year ago, this school is good. Great books at the library, nice teachers, great play area and nice community. The only problem I have have about the school is the lack of homework and the amount of things you can get away with. My friends and I would casually download Youtube videos and watch movies on the schools laptops.

  • Tanya Herriot

It's been wonderful for our three children. There is a big emphasis on social skills, kindness, inclusivity and responsibility. The teaching is tailored to the child resulting in all three being offered, and accepting, advanced academic places at secondary school (with no home tutor).

  • Zipzopzoom67

Loved my time at this school, as I am now in high school. Friendly teachers and nice learning environment. Was easy to get help when I needed it with work, or help understanding something. Loved doing the specialists like Japanese and Creative arts.

  • Jeremy Daalder

We've found this school to be excellent for both of our daughters. They place a strong emphasis on social development and helping the kids become confident in groups and with people of all ages, not just the academic side of things.

  • Zachary Davies

This schools teachers will not support kids who struggle they put them in boxes and think they will never amount to more than that. One of my teachers was uncaring and took pleasure in making kids feel vulnerable.

  • Brien Doyle

"...scrapped its Mother’s Day stall in the name of “diversity” and ­“inclusivity”" Exactly what does that mean?? because it means that the school was kowtowing/submitting to some religious complaints??

  • Joesphine Ong

I'm currently in my senior years in this school and it's been really great. The staff members were nice and friendly and I made lots of friends through out the years. I'll miss this school.

  • David Glenny

Brilliant School - Teachers are on a first name basis. A Learning HALL to develop social and technical skills. Focus on Learning being Fun, not a chore!

  • Wynnie

I made good friends but didn't learn much, Kim Simmons was the best teacher ever though, she taught me a lot, definitely my favourite teacher there.

  • Alex

Such a disgrace banning Mother's Day. This school needs to take a good hard look at itself.

  • Trina Hiscock

Because they would give my daughter a fit bit and a garmin
