Supporting the learning environment
In an effort to reduce disruptions to learning, we kindly request that parents/carers do not enter the classrooms whilst in session.
All parents/carers/visitors who visit during school hours are required to report to the school office upon entering school grounds. This includes when students arrive late, are picked-up early, dropping off items of clothing/lunches/bags, etc. The staff in the school office will contact the teacher/student on your behalf, if required.

Volunteering at SKIPPS
All volunteers are required to have a valid Working With Children Check (WWCC).
Apply for a free Volunteer WWCC at:

Before your first volunteer session at SKIPPS, please ensure you present your WWCC card to the School Office for verification. Volunteers are also required to watch the following Parent Helper Induction session, available on the school website under Community, School documents, and review the Child Safe Code of Conduct Policy.
Extra Curricular Activities
At SKiPPS we are excited to provide lots of opportunities for students beyond the classroom to explore and develop their skills and passions. Some of these are offered by our school staff, some by our parent community and others by external providers. Below we have tried to collate all of the opportunities in one place and encourage your child to get involved in 2025.
