Parents In Partnership (PIP) Team - SMDP Easter Raffle

Our first fundraiser for 2023 is the Easter Raffle. 

 

We would be grateful if each family could donate ONE small Easter related item (e.g. Easter themed toys, books, plates, mugs, chocolate eggs or bunnies, Easter hamper/baskets etc.) 

 

We also ask each family to sell as many as possible of the attached 20 x Easter Raffle tickets at $1 each.* 

 

Please return your donations, sold raffle tickets and money to the school office by Friday 31st March.

 

The Easter Raffle will be drawn on Thursday 6th April.

*Please ensure that all sold tickets include a full name, class and contact number so we can notify winners! 

School Uniform

Let’s make 2023 the year that all students wear their correct uniform every day, with pride. 

 

All students are expected to wear full summer school uniforms including the correct leather school shoes. RUNNERS ARE FOR PHYSICAL EDUCATION LESSONS AND SPORT DAYS ONLY. 

Our school uniform promotes our wonderful students to the wider community. It shows respect for themselves and others and ensures equality for every child. Students must wear our correct uniform and wear it with pride and confidence. 

 

From Monday the 6th of February, students who are not wearing the correct uniform will be given a uniform reminder card to take home. They will then require your support to ensure they are dressed in the correct SMDP uniform. If you are facing any problems or hardship, please make an appointment to see me.

Students participate in Physical Education, Music, Art, Digital Technology, Japanese (Years 3-6 in Semester 1 and Years Prep - 2 in Semester 2) and sustainability lessons with specialist teachers.
