Join us for an afternoon of music, dancing, performances and games. Our very own PMPS students will be performing. Don’t miss the fun! Tickets are $2 per person. Click here for more information and to purchase tickets.
Sustainable living will be at the heart of the event so we will have some stalls and also 'Back to bikes' will be providing free 10 minutes bike servicing.

To coincide with our Diwali Celebrations, we are selling Samosas on Thursday 3rd November. Students are able to purchase Samosas via the Parent Hub and they will be delivered to your students' classroom. We will also be selling a beautiful Mango Lassi from the kitchen hatch on this day. Mango lassis will be sold for $4. Please send exact money with your child to purchase the Lassi. Limited serves will be available, so we will only sell one per child.

Icy Poles
We will be selling Icy Poles every Friday for the rest of Term 4. These will be sold at the kitchen hatch during lunch times. We will offer a classroom delivery service for the preps to make it easier for them. Icy poles will be sold for a gold coin, no change will be given and choosing of flavours will be discouraged, as we want to sell quickly. Children will be encouraged to return their waste to the Kitchen hatch for soft plastic recycling. Please support our efforts by sending a gold coin in with your child on Friday, please no notes!
If you can help with Icy pole selling please sign up here.
