25.01.2022 Our P&C has partnered up with Holiday Ham Drive to provide our school community with quality ham and smallgoods leading into Christmas. Simply order your products from http://www.holidayhamdrive.com.au/ and select the Pilton State School as your delivery option. It is also a great way to support Pilton Valley Pork! Orders close on Friday 14th of November and are able to be collected from the Pilton State School on Friday the 4th December from 3pm.

We are keen to provide the best experience we can to create a successful start to formal schooling for the wonderful little people joining us for Prep. Please contact us at school if you have any queries about this day or the second transition day being held on the 4th of December.
