Planning for 2026
We are well into the process of planning for next year, creating classes, employing staff and setting budgets for a successful 2026.
As our budget is determined by enrolment numbers, it is vital that we get an accurate picture of how many students we will have at SKiPPS at the start of next year.
If your Foundation - Year 5 child is going to be elsewhere next year, we would appreciate you letting us know as soon as possible.
Reminder- Student Free Day
Students will not be required at school on Monday 3rd November - Melbourne Cup Eve, the day before the Melbourne Cup Public Holiday.
If you require supervision for your child, please sign them up at Team Kids for the day.
