Swimming Permission

The Junior School Swimming Program will be held from Monday 20th to Friday 24th March. All families whose children are eligible to participate should have received an email last week providing further information. Please remember to grant permission for your child to participate via the Sentral App or Sentral Parent Portal. For families new to Sentral, instructions were provided on how to do this. Alternatively, further information can be found on our website under Parent Resources > Sentral Parent Portal. Please contact the office if you require assistance.

2023 Book Packs and Parent Payment Policy

Thank you to all families who have contributed to Book Packs, Dibels and our Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program.

Book Packs, Instructions and the Parent Payment Policy documents are all available below by selecting your child's year level.

BPay is the preferred method of payment. New families should have received their unique family BPay reference in their Orientation Pack in December. Please save this reference as it will apply to all children in your family during their time at TPS. Should you need to reconfirm your BPay reference, please contact the school office. We kindly ask that Book Pack Payments and other contributions be received by Tuesday the 28th of February. Should you wish to arrange a payment plan, please contact the school office.

Changes to Student Enrolment Information

Please ensure your personal information such as emergency contacts, address, work contact details, place of employment etc. is up to date. If any of these details have changed, please email the school: teesdale.ps@education.vic.gov.au

Emergency Contacts

We kindly ask that families have a local emergency contact so that students can be collected in a timely manner in the event of an accident or illness. The school appreciates not all parents work locally so perhaps a friend or neighbour might be a good option to have on your emergency contacts list.

Confidential Student Medical Forms

This form is updated each year for the purpose of a teacher excursion register and to note if any changes have been made to your child's emergency and medical details. A copy of this document will also be emailed to all families. If there are any changes to your child's medical information, please complete and return this form to the office by Tuesday 28th February. One completed form is required for each student. N.B. Most Foundation students have already completed one with their enrolment documents last year.

You may also print a copy from the below attachment.

Early Collection and Appointments During School Hours

Please notify your child's teacher via Sentral or contact the office if your child needs to be collected during the school day to attend an appointment. To minimise disruption to the classroom, whenever possible, please aim to collect your child at the beginning or end of a session time. Please also allow additional time for collection in case your child is participating in a Specialist class where they are not with their Homegroup teacher as it can take extra time for them to pack up and meet you. When collecting your child, please present to the school office. We kindly ask that parents do not enter school buildings during class time.

Please report to the office for either late arrivals to school or early collections.
