Who is the FAF?
FAF stands for Families and Friends.
The SMPS FAF was established in 2020. We are a small group of parents, carers and community members who volunteer our time to support SMPS services and fundraising events. We are guided by and supported by the wonderful SMPS staff.
💛 If you are considering joining the FAF in 2023 or would like to volunteer at school events, such as assisting on excursions, you will require a WWCC (Working With Children Check). A WWCC is free for volunteers. Apply now and you can be more involved with SMPS activities!
If you would like more information on the SMPS FAF, please email smps.faf@outlook.com

SHUS (Second Hand Uniform Shop)
Your SMPS FAF group, with the help of other volunteers and donations from our generous families, is pleased to provide a second hand uniform shop. (SHUS for short; pronounced 'shush').
When we have sufficient volunteers, the SHUS will be open on Wednesdays, between 3.30pm and 4pm.
Where: Outside the entrance doors, in front of the Art room
Payment: Card/eftpos or cash
SMPS SHUS price list:
*Dresses and tunics come in different sizing.
C = Child (Smaller fitting)
G = Girl
W = Woman (more generous fitting)
If you would like to review sizing, please refer to Bob Stewart's website via the link below.
Thank you to everyone who has donated SMPS uniform they no longer need. We wouldn't have a SHUS without your generous donations.
Doug, one of our FAF members, is also one of the administrators on 'SMPS Friends', an informal WhatsApp chat group of 260+ participants. The chat groups members are past, present and prospective parents and carers across all grades at SMPS.
There are also separate 'grade specific' informal WhatsApp chat groups for Preps; Grade 1; Grade 2; Grade 3; Grade 4; and a combined chat for Grades 5 & 6. These 'grade specific' chat groups are for the parents/carers of current students only.
If you have recently joined SMPS, or are a current or prospective parent/carer, and would like to join any of the informal chat groups, please contact Doug via WhatsApp, or via SMS on phone # 0437 351 194.
‼️ Please note:These informal chat groups are completely independent of SMPS teachers and staff. You should continue to rely on Compass News Feeds and the SMPS newsletter for SMPS information.
