Donate Toys

Do you have any unwanted toys that can be donated to the SMPS 'Tub of Toys'? The toys will be made available to our children to play with during their recess breaks, so they don't have to bring their own toys to school. 

Toy cars, dolls, soft toys. Please drop any donations in to the office. Thank you. 

(If your generous donation is considered unsafe or inappropriate for the SMPS 'Tub of Toys', we will donate the items to a local opportunity shop.

Celebrations - Shared Stories

😀 We are incredibly lucky to have such a diverse range of cultures at SMPS! To help us get to know each other, we would love to hear about what you do to celebrate your special days. Please email your happy stories and/or photos to smps.faf@outlook.com and we will share them in our newsletter. 

🎂 Birthdays: What do you do to celebrate your birthday?

Excursions or helping out at school with a Working With Children Check

If you would like to volunteer on a student excursion, or help out at school when volunteers are needed, you will need a 'Working With Children Check' to do so. Don't miss out on the fun because you don't have one. It's a simple process to apply for a WWCC, and it's free. Click on the link below for more information on how to apply.

Do you know how to carry your school bag?

Spartan School Supplies do a great job of making our school bags. Let's make sure everyone is keeping their spine happy and healthy by following these steps on how to carry it.

Port Melbourne Baseball Club

Do you remember when Port Melbourne Baseball Club (PMBC) visited SMPS in Term 1?

If you'd like to give baseball a go outside of school, PMBC would love you to visit them on Wednesday afternoons for training (4.00pm - 5.30pm) or for a game against another club (Saturday mornings). 

Boys, girls, mums and dads of all ages welcome. PMBC will teach all you need know to have some fun!

No cost!!!They just want you to come along, join in and learn some new skills.
