New Class Timetable for 2019

Above is the new timetable for 2019 which allows for the inclusion of our new Social & Emotional Learning units.  This will support student learning and development.

Families not returning in 2019

Any families that will not be returning to Jells Park PS next year are asked to advise the school via email to jells.park.ps@edumail.vic.gov.au ASAP. Knowing our numbers allows us to complete staffing arrangements, as well as respond appropriately to requests for enrolments from new families. We are a popular school and knowing where we have space is really important.

2019 Parent Contributions

Requests for the payment of 2019 Parent Contributions were sent home earlier this term. These are a very important part of our school income that allow us to deliver the programs and materials that our community value about JPPS. We have requested payment of these contributions by 30 November to enable us to start purchasing supplies for 2019. The voluntary contributions are vital for us to maintain and upgrade our facilities and services. Without these contributions we would not have been able to upgrade the new retaining walls this year.

Canteen

The canteen will be closed on Monday 10 December & Thursday 13 December due to Concert. 

The last day of Canteen for the year will be Tuesday 18 December 2018.

The last day for School Banking 2018 will be Tuesday 4 December. School Banking will commence again in early Term 1 2019. We welcome helpers for 2019, if you are interested please contact the office. No experience is required, you will be trained by our current helpers.
