Your SHUS is run entirely by volunteers from the SMPS community

Open: Selected Wednesdays, between 3.30pm and 4:00pm.

Upcoming Dates:

Term 3 2026 - Wednesdays

Week 9 - 9th September

Donations: Clean, unmarked Bob Stewart uniform items are gratefully accepted. Please either leave donations with the office, or drop them to the SHUS when it's open.

Thank you to everyone who has donated SMPS uniform they no longer need, and to those who have volunteered to help run the SHUS. We wouldn't have a SHUS without your generous donations and time!

Informal Chat Groups

Make new friends within the SMPS community and keep in touch on an informal basis.

Doug, an SMPS Community member, oversees 'SMPS Friends' - an informal WhatsApp chat group of around 390 past, present and prospective parents and carers across all grades at SMPS.

There are also separate grade-specific informal WhatsApp chat groups for each Grade from Prep to Grade 6 for parents/carers of current students only.

If you have recently joined SMPS, or are a current or prospective parent/carer, and would like to join any of the informal chat groups, please contact Doug via WhatsApp, or via SMS on phone # 0437 351 194.

‼️ Please note: These informal chat groups are completely independent of SMPS teachers and staff. You should continue to rely on Compass News Feeds and the SMPS newsletter for SMPS information.
