SCHOOL PHOTO DAY – Monday 27th April 2026

School photos were taken on Monday.

All students had an individual photo and class photo taken, regardless of whether an order was placed.

You still have a day or so to order without incurring a late fee. Go to schoolpix.com.au and use the ‘student search’ function. You will need the student first and last name and their date of birth.

SCHOOL ACCOUNT STATEMENTS

Within the next week, school account statements will be issued to all families via email. 

Every family should receive a statement, even if there is a NIL balance owing.

All charges and payments made to date will be visible, so parent payments for Curriculum and Non-Curriculum Contributions, plus Building & Library Fund, will be listed. If you believe you have paid for something and it isn’t showing, please contact the office.

Any amounts shown with a negative, are credits on your account, which could be a refund, SSB, CSEF or a prepayment and can be used for future events/charges.

Please contact the office if you have a query with anything listed.

CONTACT WITH TEACHERS

During class time (bell times listed below) teachers are busy teaching. If you need to make contact with a teacher by phone, please do so during other than class time. eg. - before and after school or recess or lunch breaks. Alternatively, your call can be put through to the teacher’s voicemail where you can leave a message or you are welcome to send an email via the school email woodend.ps@education.vic.gov.au

The school email is checked at least once a day, but if the matter is more urgent or time critical, please phone the office.

Parents are reminded that emails should remain appropriate and respectful and that a response may not be forthcoming for 24 hours. Staff are not required to reply out of school hours and certainly not over the weekend. Your cooperation in this regard is appreciated.
