Pasta lunch can't happen without parent volunteers to prep, serve and clean up. If you're able to help out please volunteer for a date via the signup genius link below. Each week a small group of year 6 students will work with parent volunteers. Last year pasta was so popular, we had over 150 students enjoying pasta each week! This is only possible if we get volunteer parents to help. The kids love seeing their parents helping in the kitchen!

Chicken Sitting - Help needed during Autumn Holidays

Our four beautiful chickens who live a life of luxury in our amazing chook house (located in the quiet area behind the Kitchen Dining Room) require care throughout the Autumn holidays.

You will be required to check in on the chickens, feed them fresh leafy greens, top up food pellets and water, remove manure and replace hay. Each day you volunteer you get to keep the eggs you collect!

Lost Property

With the end of term near, it is time to stop by the Quadrangle to check for your child's lost jumpers, hoodies, water bottles, toys, balls, hats, etc.

The office also has accumulated valuable lost property items, so if you or your child has recently items at school such as a watch, glasses, jewellery, keys, earpods, etc....please stop by the office to check for your personal belongings.

All lost property items are donated or discarded on the last day of each term.

Susan Bishop

As shared recently, Susan Bishop, a long-standing teacher at SKiPPS, retired at the end of 2025 after an extraordinary 35 years of service to St Kilda Park Primary School.

Since beginning in 1990, Susan has made a lasting contribution to our community as a classroom teacher, PE teacher, librarian and most recently as our specialist Philosophy teacher.

She also led initiatives such as the Premier’s Reading Challenge and our Walkathon, always bringing care, creativity and a deep commitment to students and colleagues. Her impact spans generations and has helped shape the culture and traditions that make SKiPPS so special.

We are delighted to welcome Susan back to SKiPPS on Friday 24 April, where she will spend time with students from 2:00pm, followed by a 3:00pm assembly where we will formally acknowledge her dedication and remarkable contribution to our school.

We warmly invite past and present members of our school community to join us in celebrating and thanking Susan for the difference she has made to so many lives.

Sexuality Education Program – Term 2

Next term, students will participate in our classroom sexuality health program, Talking the Talk, developed by sexual health nurse and educator Vanessa Hamilton.

This program focuses on physical, social and emotional changes, protective behaviours and consent. Lessons are age appropriate, aligned with the Australian Curriculum, and delivered by classroom teachers using a factual and respectful approach.

This is the fifth year we have partnered with Vanessa to deliver this important learning. We believe it is essential that young people receive accurate, evidence based information to support healthy and informed understandings.

We recognise and respect the important role families play in this area and hope the program supports ongoing conversations at home. If you would like to discuss the program further, or if you prefer your child not to participate, please contact Neil Scott at neil.scott@education.vic.gov.au.
