Art Trail

What a fabulous event! The weather was perfect for the PPS Art Trail last Friday, and it was wonderful to see so many members of our school community come along to enjoy and celebrate our students’ artwork. The exhibition was filled with creativity, showcasing the talent, imagination and effort of our students. Families and friends enjoyed exploring the wide range of artwork on display, with plenty of pieces sparking conversation and admiration along the way.

 

Thank you to Mrs Arnold, Ms Holland and Mrs Richard for all the work they put into bringing the Art Trail together. Their dedication helped create a memorable experience for our students and families, and a wonderful celebration of student creativity. The Glow Room was a particular highlight and a big hit with visitors of all ages.

Thank you: Colour Fun-a-Thon

Girls Cricket

Congratulations and well done to our girls’ cricket team who participated in the division finals this week. The team performed exceptionally well, showing great skill, teamwork, and came away with the win.  The team will now go onto the next stage. Thank you to Mr Blacklaw for coaching the team.

Buildings and Grounds

One of the shade sails over the Senior Playground has been removed for repairs and will be reinstated once the work is complete.

Oval update: Quotes have been received for the replacement of the synthetic turf. We are currently working with the VSBA to obtain approval to proceed. The process has taken longer than expected due to unforeseen circumstances. We will keep you updated as soon as we are given the green light to move forward.

Workforce planning is under way. If you have a child in Foundation to Year 5 who will not be returning to PPS next year, could you please inform the office or the class teacher via email ASAP.  This will assist with planning for class structures and staffing for 2027. Thank you to the families who have already informed us. 

Requests for 2027 – Closed 

Class Placement Requests for 2027 closed on Wednesday, 21 October. Due to the complexity involved in finalising grades, we are unable to accept any late requests.
