24.01.2022 Thanks everyone for an amazing fundraising effort!! If you missed out, or couldn't get online, there's still time! Place any cash sponsorship money you collected in an envelope with your name and class on it, and your teacher can pass it on to Miss Allen in 5/6A. ... Remember... ALL students who raise over $10 get free *sunnies, a small prize, and an *ice block!! *sunnies and ice block on the event day. What a great idea!

23.01.2022 FUNDRAISING TIME!!!!! This year, the P&C has been super busy behind the scenes. We've patched up the grass in the kindergarten area (a never ending challenge), we've installed the gorgeous new Sails just in time for Summer, vamped the Clothing Pool into an online only service with deliveries direct to the classrooms, kept those exciting book club orders coming in every term, quickly arranged Covid Safe Extra Curricular activities before school, and worked dilligently with Ru...th to make sure that our VPS students get wonderful new books for the library donated by the wonderful and amazing...you!! Now it's time for some serious business.... seriously FUN business, that is. The P&C coffers are empty and the kids are exhausted after such a stressful year. We thought it was important that the kids get a chance to blow off some steam and end 2020 with a fundraiser that will leave them covered in colours! Details to follow

23.01.2022 On this Sunday....Fun day out for the whole family.

22.01.2022 Save the Date: spend this Wednesday evening with your fellow VPS' families at the Watsons Bay Hotel from 5 pm onwards! Dont bother cooking for your kids this Wednesday! Instead, buy them a kids' meal and let them enjoy a night out with their friends. Please note that 50% of the proceeds goes back to the school. Look forward to seeing you all on Wednesday. PS. this is the last get-together for 2019.

22.01.2022 May this year bring new happiness, new goals, new achievements and a fabulous new school year! Happy New Years to our incredible VPS community! #LoveWhereYouLearn #2020

21.01.2022 VPS has 335 students this year. With 136 students registered for the Colour Explosion fundraiser we have just reached $20,000 in sponsorship. AMAZING! Imagine what we could achieve if the remaining students joined in on the action! Register and create an online profile page and for the first $10 raised in sponsorship, each child can choose a prize to keep or donate to a children’s charity.... Come on VPS, let's see if we can double the amount raised already! https://myprofilepage.com.au/

19.01.2022 Term 1 2020 Extra Curricular Sports Programs are now open for booking. In 2020, the Extra Curricular Sports Program for Vaucluse Public School offers eight varied disciplines to choose from: Karate, Netball, Boys Hip Hop Crew, Gymnastics, Basketball, Cheer leading / acrobatics, soccer and girls' dance K-4. These classes improve our students' fine and gross motor skills as well as the skills specific to the chosen sport. The classes also enhance each child's creativity, imagin...ation and focus within a class environment. Programs run in line with the Vaucluse Public School term and each term is booked separately. Enrolments are processed on a 'first come-first served basis' and so it's not possible to guarantee a place in any program. Book now to secure your child's spot!

15.01.2022 This year's Colour Explosion is off to a good start! We've had nearly 100 people build their online profile page at https://myprofilepage.com.au/ and have raised just over $9000 to date. But we need so much more to keep our school great. There's a constant demand for upgraded tech; resources for the Library, paying for the SAKG programme our students love so much, and access to a dedicated Learning Support Officer (we love you Margaret!!!) The P&C can only fund these and n...umerous other wonderful programmes through the continued generosity of parents and the community. Remember, we may be a state school, but we receive less funding than other schools. Please don't let our students go without next year. Dig deep, and give what you can.

14.01.2022 Look at what just HALF our students have done! Come on everyone! Join in the fun....

13.01.2022 Remember to drop your colour run orders in to the canteen this morning. Any questions to the P&C please - they are running the event and providing all the yummy food.
