Halloween - a request

As you would know, SKiPPS does not have a school uniform and we really value the way that this approach allows students to demonstrate their individuality and identity whilst at school.

With Halloween taking place next week, we know that some students will want to celebrate by wearing some spooky items to school.

Whilst we are ok with this to an extent, in previous years we have seen some students bringing items such as hockey & 'Scream' masks, fake blood and imitation weapons to school. 

This took things too far and meant that younger students were scared by the appearance of other students.

We ask families to ensure that any clothing or items brought to school around halloween are school-appropriate to avoid us having to confiscate unsuitable items and comfort scared students.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Curriculum Day - Monday 4th November

A reminder that this coming Cup-eve Monday (4th November) is a Curriculum Day and students will not be required at school on this day. 

Team Kids will be available to supervise your child on Monday 4th November if needed. Reserve a spot at www.teamkids.com.au

Let us know your plans for 2025

We are well into the process of planning for next year, creating classes, employing staff and setting budgets for a successful 2025.

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.

Walkathon - Tuesday 19th November

On Tuesday 19th November, we will be holding our annual SKiPPS walkathon between 2-3pm. During the event we challenge students to complete as many laps of the school oval as possible. 

This year we are taking the sponsorship aspect of the Walkathon online and will be providing families with an online link where they can sponsor their child to take part.

This online link will be easily shared with friends and family to allow for the whole community to get involved.

We will arrange class prizes for the class that complete the most laps collectively and the class that raises the most money.

All funds will go towards upgrading even more of our drinking fountains at the school to the sleek, shiny new Aquafil units (see below).

We will provide the link and further details by the end of the week to allow you to share this widely over the long weekend and start collecting sponsors.
