Upcoming Events

Jazz in the Park

One of the oldest surviving SKiPPS events is 'Jazz in the Park' - now in its 37th year. The event is our traditional start of year celebration.

 

It takes place at school and involves food stalls, live music and a great way for families to relax, catch-up or maybe connect for the first time. Parents, carers, friends and children are all welcome to attend.

This year it will be taking place on the evening of Tuesday 18th February from 5pm - 8pm. 

 

Further details will follow but make sure you save the date now.

Foundation welcome picnic

SKIPPA, Our incredible Parents' Association will be running a picnic at the pencil playground straight after school on Friday 7th February to welcome our new Foundation families to the school and to celebrate the end of the first full week!

More details will be sent out in the coming days but we encourage our newest families to put the date in their diaries now for a great way to connect and start the year.
