Hello everyone and welcome back to the school year.

The PFA is once again starting with a bang, so we have few updates for you.

For those new to the school, you will have probably heard that Port Melbourne is famous for our amazing community spirit. All the events run by the PFA help to foster and grow that community spirit each year. We hope you can get involved in events by attending or volunteering!

Here's to an amazing 2024!

The Parent Hub

The Parent Hub is where all events and products are sold from. Please make sure you:

are registered for the Parent Hub
have updated your child's class for the year.

Every year you need to update your child’s class. Please make sure you have the correct information as this is what we use to deliver food orders (i.e. sushi, party pies, hot cross buns) to the right class. Please update ASAP!

2023 Yearbooks

If you ordered a Yearbook in the extra run last year, you can collect it from the school office from Monday.

School Picnic

When: Thursday 29 February from 5.30pm

Where: PMPS

Weather permitting, we will be hosting a Welcome School Picnic on Thursday 29 February. Please bring a picnic, a rug and enjoy an evening with our wonderful school community. It will be a great chance to get to know some new people or reconnect with old friends.

Colour Run

When: 15 March, 3:45 – 7pm

Where: Garden City Reserve

The Colour Run is great fun! Students have a blast running around the obstacle course while getting doused from head to toe in different colours. It’s a great opportunity for the kids to have fun and for parents to socialise. There will be house points to win! Tickets are on sale now via the parent hub.

Icy Pole Days

When: Every Friday in Term 1

Where: Gym kitchen

Cost: Gold coin

Icy poles will be sold every Friday through term 1, starting from Friday 23 February. We will be selling from the kitchen hatch, with a special classroom delivery service to the prep classrooms before lunch. Please send a gold coin in with your child on Friday mornings. Due to time, we will not be able to offer change or let your child choose a flavour.

PFA meetings

First PFA meeting

When: 22 February, 7pm

Where: North Port Hotel

The PFA will be having its first meeting of the year on the 22 February. Please come along if you are interested in getting involved or just want to hear more about what we do over a pub dinner and a drink.

AGM - new members welcome

When: 21 March from 7pm

Where: PMPS staff room

We will have our AGM on 21 March where we will elect the Official Committee roles and those who wish to be PFA committee members will formerly sign up for the year. We welcome anyone to come along and get involved. A few people are moving on this year, so we would love to see some new faces!

The next Second Hand School Uniform shop will be open on Friday 23 February. We also sell brand new House T-shirts.
