Lunch Orders

Lunch Orders are available to order every Thursday and Friday via the Flexischools App from Thursday 5th February.

Mr Brightside's order cut off time is 9:45am.

Please note that Preps will be notified when they are able to purchase lunch orders in Term 1.

Head Bumps

As an addition to the Compass notification and phone call for any bumps to the head, students will also be given a sticker to wear. This will notify school staff and any carers that may need to know about the injury.

We are on the lookout for any volunteers who can assist with running our Second Hand Uniform Shop, and washing of lost property. If you are able to assist with either of these tasks please contact the office or email Melissa at caulfield.south.ps@education.vic.gov.au

We are hoping to build up a team of volunteers so that many hands make light work!

Second Hand Uniform

Our next SHUS will be in 2026 and will open on Friday 13th February 2026 3:15pm - 3:45pm, in the Drum Corps Room at the end of the verandah.

Please bring your own bags.
SHUS is now a cash free zone, EFT is available for payments.
Please note that we are only accepting PSW branded uniform when making donations to the shop.

Please ensure all uniform including hats are clearly labelled with your child's name and erase any previous labelling.
