Ripper Families

SPECIAL PERSON'S DAY

On Friday the 23rd of August from 9.45 am we will be holding our Special Person's event at the school. A formal invitation will be sent out on Friday that the children can use to invite their special person along to the day, but it might be a good idea to start the discussion on who they'd like to have along. It could be parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, neighbours or friends. Someone they would love to share their morning at school with.

This year we will be sharing morning tea in the classroom, and we'll have a coffee van along for after the classroom activities, when the children can show their special person the playground. Last year's event was enjoyed by all, and we are sure this year will be no different!

RIPPSTOCK CARNIVAL: SAVE THE DATE!

Planning for our School Carnival is underway!

Make sure to keep Saturday 30th November free for an entertainment-filled, fun-loving, creative joyride at Ripponlea Primary School.

The Carnival kicks off at 12pm, ends at 6pm, and will include the best rides, food, stalls, activities, refreshments and entertainment this side of Orrong Road.

GET INVOLVED – Our School Needs Your Help:

We are a small school with a big heart, and we need all hands on deck to make this the best carnival and raise much-needed funds for the junior playground upgrade!

There are a bunch of ways you can get involved and help (a little or a lot) before the big day:
