Mount View Primary School
A structured Years 1–6 learning journey helping students develop confidence, creativity, computational thinking and engineering skills through practical projects.
Enrolment is exclusively for current Mount View Primary School students.
MVPS families — Innovate Forge Academy also offers public programs open to all families, including communication, creative writing and holiday learning. Explore the broader academy → MVPS classes remain exclusively for current Mount View Primary School students.
Why MVPS families choose Innovate
An established school-based program designed to grow with students from foundational exploration to increasingly independent projects.
Learning builds progressively rather than stopping at one-off activities.
Students design, build, test, improve and solve practical problems.
Students develop their thinking while learning to explain ideas and decisions.
Collaboration, communication, initiative and leadership are part of the experience.
MVPS after-school programs
Create digital projects and develop practical programming skills.
View program
Build, program and improve physical creations through hands-on challenges.
View programCoding
Focuses on digital creations.
Robotics
Combines physical building and programming.

Develop thinking, confidence and problem-solving.
School-based programs
Coding and Robotics are the only MVPS programs. They are school-based offerings linked to the academy’s wider Robotics & Computer Science curriculum, not public classes.
Develop coding foundations through guided, practical projects in Python and foundational web technologies.

Years 1–6 learning progression
Students build knowledge through an age-appropriate journey, with room to enter at a level suited to their experience.
Develop sequencing, logic, creativity and collaboration.
Develop programming skills, project work and problem-solving.
Explore increasingly complex programming, engineering challenges and independent projects.
Learning activities and difficulty are adapted to each student’s age, experience and program.
How students learn
Project-based sessions combine guided learning with designing, coding, building, testing, discussion and reflection. Students practise computational thinking while developing collaboration, communication and responsibility.
The Forge learning experience
Where included in a program, the Forge platform supports structured learning pathways, guided digital practice, project portfolios, progress tracking, achievements and educator feedback.
Forge also supports learning between sessions. Students can revisit lesson resources and keep a project moving at home between weekly classes, while parents follow progress from the Forge parent portal.

BYOD is preferred for both programs. For Robotics it's optional — students who don't bring a device share class robotics kits and devices. For Coding, classroom device hire is available when a laptop can't be provided.
Compatible device and software details are provided during enrolment.
