School Driveway
Just a reminder that during the morning and afternoon drop off/pickup when departing the school driveway that it is a left turn only. Turning right causes significant movement delays of the drive through.
Murphy St
We ask parents to park and approach the gate when dropping off or picking up children only. We tried it as a drive-through, but with the congestion outside the fence, it has not worked. Students will wait with the teacher in the courtyard. When we see a parent/carer outside the fence, we will send your child to you.
YMCA
Before and after school care is fully operational.
Mask Wearing
Outdoor – not required for staff or students.
Indoor
Staff - required. Unless assisting a child to understand clearly
Students – not required.
Semester 2 Parent-Teacher Interviews 22nd-26th November
We are asking parents to book for an online meeting with your child’s teacher(s). This will be an important conversation which will form part of the SHPS reporting process.

- Select the class teacher(s) to make a booking with for your child(ren).
- If a second parent wishes to join the meeting from an extra device, please make sure you enter their email address in the optional parent email field.
- You will receive an email to confirm your booking time.
Once the teacher has your appointment time, they will create a meeting in MS TEAMS and send an invitation to you via the email address(es) you nominated. Please accept this invitation.
The teacher will start the MS TEAMS meeting. Interviews are 15 minutes only. If you need more time with a particular teacher, please make arrangement with them.
Students are not expected to attend the appointment with you.

Ride Safely to School Week
Ride Safely to School Week has been developed to give schools the opportunity to reinforce safety messages around cycling while encouraging students to ride to school.
We recognise the importance of kids getting the recommended 60 mins of physical activity everyday, and that while riding your bike it’s just as important to be safe on the streets.
Prayer and Reflection Resources
These prayer and reflection resources are for all families to find comfort, connection to faith and reassurance in these unsettling times. We encourage our school community to set aside time for personal and family prayer.
