CSEF

Camps, Sports, Excursion Fund is available to eligible Healthcare card holders. You need to complete the form sent to you via Compass and return it to the Office along with a copy of your Current Healthcare card for your application to be submitted. The $150 payment will be made to the school to be allocated towards applicable events throughout the year. If your child is in Yr/6 and you would like these funds allocated towards the cost of the Camp, you will need to ensure that your application is made by 28 February so that the funds are received in time to be applied to this event.

HATS

All students must wear a hat during lunch and recess to be sunsafe.

PLEASE LABEL ALL YOUR STUDENTS BELONGINGS!

Clearly with their name and do not send glass containers for students' lunches.

Lost property is unfortunately an ongoing issue at school that wastes staff time and resources managing.

CONTACTING 

If you need to contact a member of the Admin Team, please send your email to south.melbourne.park.ps@education.vic.gov.au not a specific staff member, as this mailbox is monitored by a number of Staff and ensures your query is directed to the relevant person.

CAR PARK LABELS

Please collect from the Office.

SICK CHILDREN AT SCHOOL - EMERGENCY CONTACTS

We must be able to contact you if your child is sick or injured at school, we frequently call parents whose phones are turned off or do not respond to the call.  If both parents are working, you must have at least one emergency contact who would be able to collect your child if they are ill.

It is not only for your child's wellbeing but to minimise the spread of illness throughout the school that we need a timely response from parents. 

LUNCH

Lunch order resume on Monday 3 February and orders can be placed via Schools24.

When you provide lunch for your child, please include cutlery if it is required - we do not have spare, suitable cutlery to give to students.
