Manning Valley Anglican College has experienced significant growth since commencing in 2003 as a Kindergarten to Year 6 School.  The school now provides education for all Years of schooling with an initial HSC cohort of 5 students.

The school was observed to provide a quality education with a dedicated and professional teaching staff mindful of the need for a structured and coordinated approach to curriculum planning.  A strength of the curriculum is the focus on the performing arts, particularly music, and sporting activities.  The school’s integrated use of technology across the school enriches the learning program.

In the areas of Primary education and courses for the Higher School Certificate, the curriculum materials were clear, comprehensive and reflective of attention to detail.  The school’s commitment to providing a quality education with opportunities for all to learn was evident.

As Eco School Champions for Terms One and Two, MVAC were rewarded by being the first lucky recipients of a MEEG “Enviro Day”.

The day was held in August and centred around Water and its importance to us all. Students from K-10 participated in a number of environmental activities throughout the day including sessions on water bugs, cane toads, stormwater pollution and WaterAid. Each activity was run by MEEG Member from a variety of organisations including National Parks and Wildlife, Greater Taree City Council and MidCoast Water. The kids had great fun spending the day out of class and Whizzy and Fletch also made an appearance on the day to the delight of the children. Overall it was a huge success with all participants having a fun filled and informative day!!

The Australian Bankers’ Association (ABA) and the Australian Federal Police (AFP) have worked together to produce a fact sheet for parents about how to encourage their children to stay safe online and protect their identity from criminals.

The fact sheet, ‘Helping your kids protect their identity online’, outlines some of the online threats and provides practical safety tips so you can talk to your children about online safety.

This security information is something that every parent can tell their children and is no different to teaching children to buckle-up in the car or why they should be careful of approaches from strangers.

The fact sheet is available on the following websites:

• Australian Bankers’ Association: www.bankers.asn.au
