Paw Patrol

Wow - what an overwhelming response to appointing Clover as our School Dog. Thank you to the families who have come to welcome her to her new role. 

At our first Whole School Assembly, we put an invitation out for students to join Paw Patrol - a group of students who will take care of Clover when she visits their classroom. These children will spend some extra time with Clover, learning how to read doggy body language, help classmates be safe around dogs. The response was overwhelming! Over 170 students spent their recess writing or drawing an application. It was very difficult to choose just a few, but we've done it. All students who applied should have received a letter this week informing them of the outcome. We look forward to continuing the program all year long.

Parent Contributions

Parent Contributions are available for payment on your family Compass account. 

The Parent Contributions play a pivotal role in our ability to provide high-quality educational resources to our students. These contributions are the primary funding source for essential learning materials, including devices, books, online subscriptions and other materials required for our enhanced learning programs. By fulfilling these contributions, you're directly investing in the educational success and future of your child.

To make the process as convenient as possible, we offer several payment options:

• Compass Account – upfront Card Payment
• Compass Account – monthly Card Payments
• Card payment at the school reception
• CentrePay Deductions
• BPAY
• Direct deposit

We deeply appreciate any amount you're able to contribute. If you're currently able to pay only a portion of these contributions, please know that every little bit helps and is greatly appreciated.

Families with available CSEF or SSB funding were emailed a statement last week, with the amount of funds available on your account. Please follow the instructions on the email to apply funding to Excursions or camp for your student(s). Please note that it may take the office team up to 5 business days to process your CSEF/SSB funding. If you intend to apply CSEF/SSB funding to the In-visits/Excursions contribution, please DO NOT pay the In-visits/Excursions contribution when paying your contributions on Compass.

Please contact our Business Manager if you would like any support in setting up a payment plan or need assistance setting up other payment options: colin.mountney@smps.vic.edu.au
