Parent and guardian occupation and education information is used by the Department of Education to calculate funding for Victorian government schools. All information is strictly confidential and reported only as statistical data.

Please select the occupation group that accurately reflects your current role, as selecting a higher group may negatively affect the funding our school receives. If you are unsure which category applies, please refer to the information below or contact highton.ps@education.vic.gov.au.

Keep Cosy with an HPS Beanie!

Winter is here, and what better way to keep warm than with a cosy HPS Beanie? Our HPS Beanies have been custom designed to complement the Highton Primary School uniform and are approved by School Council for students to wear to and from school, as well as outside in the schoolyard during recess and lunchtime.

Please remember, beanies are for outdoor wear only and are not permitted inside classrooms. Beanies are available now from the school office for $18 each.

Pop into the office to grab one before the chilly mornings really set in!

EFTPOS only.
