Volunteers needed- Saturday 14th October

With the Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum date set for Saturday 14th October, SKiPPS has been confirmed as a polling place for local residents to cast their votes. 

This provides the school with the opportunity to run a fundraising sausage sizzle and cake stall - the two cornerstones of any Australian election day.

We need volunteers for the day to help us cook and sell sausages and cakes. If you think you can spare an hour or two to come and help out, please sign up at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60B094BABA62EA3F85-skipps15 

Year 6 Graduation Photos

All Year 6 students must arrive promptly by 9am on Tuesday 17th October, to be included in the 2023 Graduation Photos.

Students who missed out on the 2023 Class photo taken earlier this year and any new students will also have their portrait taken.  

Curriculum & TPPD Day Reminder

Students will not be required at school on the following days:

• Monday 6th November - Curriculum Day
• Friday 24th November - Teacher Professional Practice Day

Team Kids will be running a full day program on both days for any families requiring childcare. https://www.teamkids.com.au/venues/st-kilda-park-primary-oshc-5/ 

Seeking Basketball Coordinator

As you would be aware, basketball plays a huge role at SKiPPS and the Playball teams and before and after school training are a great way for our students to stay active, have fun with competitive sport and for our families to connect.

There is a key person who keeps the system going - our Basketball Coordinator. Currently Nikita Jain has been doing this role but she will soon need to step back. 

This means we are looking for a willing volunteer to take this job on. 

This coordinator manages the distribution of the SKiPPS basketball kits, oversees the training roster and acts as a first point of call for families with questions about basketball at SKiPPS.

Whilst this sounds complicated, it is only a few hours work each month and Nikita is happy to provide a full handover to the new coordinator and walk them through each part of the role.

If you think you can help the school and enable basketball to continue to be such a big part of SKiPPS life, please reach out to Nikita on nikitajain86@gmail.com 

Let us know if you are leaving

As we have now begun Term 4, we have started the process of employing teachers and setting budgets for 2024.

It is really important that we have an accurate idea of student numbers so we can plan ahead with confidence.

If you know that your child will not be attending SKiPPS in 2024 we would really appreciate you letting us know as soon as possible.

Please email the school on st.kilda.park.ps@education.vic.gov.au to let us know.

Enrolments for Chess in Term 4 are now open!
