Supporting the learning environment

In an effort to reduce disruptions to learning during school hours, we kindly request that parents/carers do not enter the classrooms whilst in session.  

All parents/carers/visitors who visit during school hours are required to report to the school office upon entering school grounds. This includes when students arrive late, are picked-up early, dropping off items of clothing/lunches/bags, etc.     The staff in the school office will contact the teacher/student on your behalf, if required.   

Volunteering at SKIPPS

All volunteers are required to have a valid Working With Children Check (WWCC).   Apply for a free Volunteer WWCC at:

Working with Children Check | vic.gov.au (www.vic.gov.au)

Before your first volunteer session at SKIPPS, please ensure you present your WWCC card to the School Office for verification.  Volunteers are also required to watch the following Parent Helper Induction session, available on the school website under Community, School documents, and review the Child Safe Code of Conduct Policy.  

AROUND THE WORLD IN ONE NIGHT – THE CHEAPEST TRIP AROUND THE GLOBE FOR FAMILIES!

WEDNESDAY 18TH SEPTEMBER - 6PM TO 9PM

Fitzroy Street precinct is proud to be home to a huge number of many and varied, but always delicious, eateries. The thing we’re most proud of though is that these businesses represent many parts of the world, from India to Italy, from West Africa to Thailand, from France to Scotland, from China to America and so much more!

Around the World in One Night is an epic restaurant crawl where you’re given the opportunity to taste 17 of these restaurants and their cuisines, but, most importantly, the journey you take and what you try is up to YOU! 

This event is perfect for families as tasters are only $5 (plus booking fee) and everyone in the family gets to choose the tasters they want = everyone happy! Plus, there will also be musical entertainment on the street, playing the tune to your food adventure!

Extra Curricular Activities

At SKiPPS we are excited to provide lots of opportunities for students beyond the classroom to explore and develop their skills and passions. Some of these are offered by our school staff, some by our parent community and others by external providers. Below we have tried to collate all of the opportunities in one place and encourage your child to get involved in 2024.
