Mount Beauty Primary School is approximately 350 kilometres from Melbourne and 85 kilometres from the regional centre of Albury/Wodonga. MBPS is considered a remote and rural school. In 2010 we had 141 enrolled students with 7 classes. MBPS workforce is made up of one Principal, nine fulltime Teachers and four Educational Support Staff We have an exciting emerging Arts Curriculum, a parent music program with Mount Beauty Secondary College and we deliver a successful literacy intervention for year 2 to 6 students called MultiLit. The school relies heavily on the goodwill of parents to volunteer their time in a range of activities from reading in the classroom to making lunches and fundraising. The school is well placed to fullfill its new strategic directions from 2010 to 2013. In 2011 the school will take the keys for the new BER building where year 5 and 6 students will be housed. We will also relocate the Library to the new building. With Government funding we will refurbish the year 3 and 4 classrooms to cater for 21st century learning. At MBPS we teach our children to be life long learners. We are part of a fantastic community and our school is highly regarded.
