Grade 1 & 2 Problem Solving Challenge. Maths Quest is an innovative learning program, designed for high achieving students, that introduces problem solving concepts. Students in Grade 1 & 2 are invited to participate in this weekly activity during Term 2 & 3 each year.
In 2024, Mullum Primary School partnered with Children’s University Swinburne, to extend and develop self-motivated, engaged learners at our school. Children’s University Swinburne encourages children to aspire to new heights, try out new activities, discover new passions, visit new places and above all, have fun whilst learning. Children’s University runs a weekly lunchtime club to support students to reach their 30+ hours of out-of-school learning, before graduating at Swinburne University in November each year.
Every year, Mullum Primary School offers high ability students in Grade 5 and 6 opportunities to participate in VHAP, part of the government funded Student Excellence Program. Students participate in 10-week online extension and enrichment programs in English and Mathematics. In 2024, we were delighted to have one of our Grade 6 student’s pieces published on the VHAP website, demonstrating her excellence in writing.
Mullum Primary School is once again pleased to offer families and students the opportunity to be involved in the ICAS Assessments in 2025. ICAS Assessments are designed to recognise academic excellence by assessing students on their ability to apply classroom learning to new contexts using higher-order thinking and problem-solving skills.
Every second year (on again in 2025), ten Grade 5 and 6 students are invited to participate in the Write a Book in a Day competition, where they get the chance to collaborate, flex their creativity and help make a difference to the lives of kids with cancer. In just 12 hours students are to write and illustrate an entire book using unique parameters for their story. The team is encouraged to fundraise during the competition, with all money raised going directly to The Kids’ Cancer Project to support vital childhood cancer research.
