Albert Park College, Port Melbourne Secondary College, University High School, etc.). will go to their 2026 secondary school on Tuesday December 9. Students should not come to SMPS on this day and should go straight to their secondary school instead. Please check your email for more information from your child's school. 

Year 6 Student Scrapbook

As part of Year 6 graduation, each student will create a special scrapbook to celebrate their journey. Please start collecting photos of key moments in your child’s life that they can bring into school to include in their scrapbooks, such as: 

• The day they were born
• Their first day of school
• Family vacations or special trips
• Sports teams or school events
• Birthday celebrations
• Family traditions or holidays

Photos can be printed at home and brought to school, emailed to your child's teacher to print at school, or your child can share them with their teacher on their class Microsoft Teams page.
