Compass Community Calendar

When planning ahead you can find important school dates and events on the Compass Community Calendar.

Compass Pay

We use Compass Pay for all school events. This will include both the payment and consent for camps, incursions and excursions.

All students are to wear a hat when outdoors at school.

Students don't forget to pack your hat!!

Parent Reminder

Please remember to report to the office when arriving at school for late arrivals or early departures. Parents are not to go directly to classrooms.

Running Late/Missed Line-Up?

Students who arrive after the bell and miss line up before school need to come to the office and sign in. They can then go to class with a late pass.

Leaving School Early?

A parent or authorised adult must come to the office and sign the child out on our Compass Kiosk. The office will then call for the student to come with their bag. Where possible it is best to avoid collecting students during recess and lunch play.

Benvenuti (or welcome) to our Italian words of the week.

il cappello = the hat

Grazie e Prego = Thank you and You’re welcome

Ciao (bye)

Signora Bilionis

Head Bumps

As an addition to the Compass notification and phone call for any bumps to the head, students will also be given a sticker to wear. This will notify school staff and any carers that may need to know about the injury.

We are on the lookout for any volunteers who can assist with running our Second Hand Uniform Shop, and washing of lost property. If you are able to assist with either of these tasks please contact the office or email Melissa at caulfield.south.ps@education.vic.gov.au

We are hoping to build up a team of volunteers so that many hands make light work!

Second Hand Uniform

Our next SHUS will be will open on Friday 27th March 2026 3:15pm - 3:45pm, in the Drum Corps Room at the end of the verandah.

Please bring your own bags.
SHUS is now a cash free zone, EFT is available for payments.
Please note that we are only accepting PSW branded uniform when making donations to the shop.

Please ensure all uniform including hats are clearly labelled with your child's name and erase any previous labelling.
