Bunnings fundraiser BBQ

SMPS will be hosting a Bunnings fundraiser BBQ, at their Port Melbourne store, in Term 3.

We'll need some volunteers to host the BBQ, so please keep an eye out for more details in Term 3's newsletters.

All money raised will go towards the makeover of the garden on Level 1. 

What's on in Melbourne?

Looking for some free and cheap events for families and friends to do? Then take a look at this City of Melbourne website. We hope you find something fun to do during the school holidays!

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?

🛼 School holidays: What do you like to do on the school holidays?

🐶 Pets: Do you have a pet you'd like to share a photo of?

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.

Donate Toys

If we happen to have a few cold and rainy days during the school holidays, why not spend some time going through the toys you have at home?

If there are some that you don't want any longer, please donate them to the SMPS Tub-Of-Toys.

We'll have an opportunity for you to drop them off at the school gates early in Term 3.

(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.

Joke of the week

What do you call it when you add up a lot of marsupials?

A pos-sum!!
