General Information
Supervision Before & After School
Please remember our school yard is supervised from 8:45am - 9:00am in the morning and the school day ends at 3:30pm.
Please note, we are unable to supervise students at the office before 8:45am or after 3:30pm
We ask all families to register for free with TeamKids, even if you never use the service. During times when unexpected things crop up, it is worhtwhile just to have the option.
Please contact the school directly if you are unable to pick your child up by 3:30pm and arrangements can be made for them to be supervised by TeamKids.
Parent Contributions
RWPS continues to welcome parent contributions in the form of parent payments and parents volunteering their time. Contributions are greatly appreciated irrespective of how big or small.
Parent Payments for 2026.
RWPS provides students with free instruction to fulfil the standard Victorian curriculum, and we want to assure you that all contributions are voluntary. Nevertheless, the ongoing support of our families ensures that our school can offer the best possible education and support for our students. We want to thank all the parents who have made voluntary payments and remind parents that Parent Payments for 2026 can be paid through Compass or at the office.
Within our school this support has allowed us to provide a truly comprehensive and enriching program for our students – with a diverse range of educational activities and opportunities – over and above those associated with the basic curriculum. Some of the examples of the additional programs that we are able to offer as a result of the parent payments include:
Kitchen Garden
Swimming Program
Fundraising for a new Sensory Garden
CSEF (Camps, Sports & Excursions fund)
🎬 Film Lovers Wanted – Join the Richmond West Primary School Film Night Group! 🎬
With 2025 marking Nick’s final year curating our much-loved Film Nights, we’re looking for members of the Richmond West Primary School community to step forward and help continue this wonderful tradition.
If you have a love of film, a knack for selecting engaging and age-appropriate short films, and ideally a background or interest in AV, we’d love to hear from you. The good news is that the event setup is largely taken care of — the role is less about logistics and more about thoughtfully choosing films that will delight and inspire our students.
Also, if you have access to a projector we can use for the evening we would love to hear from you too!
Film Night has become a special part of our school calendar, and we’re keen to keep the magic going after Nick’s departure. If you’re interested in joining the team, please get in touch!
Let’s keep the popcorn popping and the silver screen alive! 🍿✨
Please contact Marika at mruzyla@gmail.com if you have any leads or interest in assisting.
