WHERE CHILDREN LOVE TO BE
At times, families choose to bring a treat from home to share with the class to celebrate their child’s birthday.
Please ensure you attach a list of ingredients for any shared food items brought to school to be distributed by the class teacher.
If your child is Anaphylactic or has allergies, we suggest that you provide the school at the beginning of the year with a supply of suitable treats that your child can have instead of the shared item.
BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL CARE - THEIRCARE
Before and after care is available at SMPPS through Theircare. If you are interested please go to their website to register your child, there you will also find details on the program and costs.
It may be a good idea to register your child in case you need the service for an unplanned event.
Please click on the link below for an introduction.
