25.01.2022 Last Thursday our students were treated to a whole-school peformance and musical workshops from the incredibly talented Mal Webb music. Mal and Kylie's performance at the school was a donation from our SKiPPS parents' band 'Parental As Anything' and we thank them for providing this wonderful opportunity. Thanks also to Kyla Davies for sharing these great photos.

16.01.2022 Stay safe everyone

16.01.2022 Following advice from the Department of Education and Training we will be moving to remote and flexible learning from Term 2, to help slow the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19). This means that all students who can learn at home must learn from home. This is a very clear directive from the Victorian Government based on the advice of the Chief Health Officer. The Departments latest advice on coronavirus can be found at https://www.education.vic.gov.au/coronavirus... It is important that we work together and support each other during this challenging time. We will be sending out more detailed information to parents and carers shortly via Compass with further details of what remote and flexible learning will look like at our school. In the meantime, you might find it useful to look at the Departments Learning from Home website. It provides resources and guidance for teachers and parents and carers. https://www.education.vic.gov.au//Pa/learningfromhome.aspx Please continue to stay safe and healthy.

16.01.2022 There are rides for everyone at the SKiPPS Fete! Remember to get your 'Ticket to Ride' online at: https://www.trybooking.com/book/event?eid=569625& Unlimited rides for $35 pre purchased or $40 on the day.

We are selling trays of mangoes picked and packed during the premium harvest. Each tray has 12 large mangos or up to 23 small mangos.... The cost per Tray is $29 - this represents a saving on supermarket prices, supports the farmers directly and also allows the school to raise funds. Please place your orders on the link below by the 31st October. Trays will then be delivered to the school in early December ready for collection. https://www.trybooking.com/BMGFX

15.01.2022 In line with last nights DET guidance, no students will be required at school this Friday (27th March) and the first day of term 2 (Tuesday 14th April). These curriculum days will allow staff to prepare for managing remote learning in the event of a COVID-19 school closure. We will inform the community on Monday of arrangements with TheirCare for child care at the school on these days.

10.01.2022 Following advice from the Victorian Government on Tuesday 12 May, some students will be returning to school from Tuesday 26 May. The Victorian Chief Health Officer has advised that it is safe for students and teachers to return in a two-staged approach: Stage 1 from Tuesday 26 May: Prep to Grade 2 will return to on-site schooling. All staff will attend on-site.... Stage 2 from Tuesday 9 June: Grade 3 to Year 6 students will return to on-site schooling, subject to health advice.

10.01.2022 Dunk the Teacher is always very popular at the SKiPPS Fete. Warm up your throwing arm...here is the dunking timetable! See you on Sat 29th 11am - 6pm.

10.01.2022 Whilst we normally keep our Facebook page school related content only, we know the current COVID-19 situation is affecting many of our SKiPPS families, especially those with their own businesses. We encourage our community to support each other during these tough times, especially those businesses who have always generously supported school events and fundraising. Foxes Den have introduced a new home delivery service for their delicious and healthy food. Visit their website or Facebook page for more information.

09.01.2022 We were sent this fantastic 1931 class photo by a relative of an ex-student. The student holding the chalkboard at the front is Zelman Cowen, who grew up to become Sir Zelman Cowen, Governor General of Australia from 1977 - 1982. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zelman_Cowen The photo dates from the ten year period when St Kilda Park was a 'Central School', meaning that it took students from Foundation - Year 8. This explains why the class shown are called Grade 8 and look a lit...tle bit too old for Primary School. SKiPPS reverted to being a Primary School in 1933. The building in the background is our 'Heritage Shed' and is still onsite today and used for music lessons. We are still waiting for our 2020 school photos to take place in order to capture any future Governor Generals. We hope these can take place on Wednesday 4th November.

09.01.2022 A set of keys with one of our much sought-after 'Year 6 Graduation' keyrings has been found in Footscray today. Whilst losing your keys is annoying, we are sure there is an ex-skipps parent out there even more distraught to lose this momento of their seven years at our school. If any of our community members recognise them, please get in touch.
