Marlborough Upgrade

During the holidays Jason volunteered his time in redeveloping the entrance to the Marlborough Building.

The vision was to create a calming and inviting break out space for students to use throughout the day. Many students have already utilised this area for online lessons, reading and group work.

The wet area in front of M10, 11 and 12 has been opened up and upgraded with new benches and kitchen area coming soon.

The lost property cupboard is no longer in the foyer and will now be found in the cupboard in front of M6 in the OSHC area. The honour boards and plaques will be placed in a museum room in M8.

Fundraising News

Hello and Welcome!

Hello and welcome to the 2022 school year, from all of us on the WPPS Fundraising Committee!

We hope everyone is looking forward to the events and activities that will be held throughout the year. Our school community has always been incredibly generous, and we are thankful for the ongoing support of the fundraising events that take place at WPPS. All of the money raised goes back into our school, benefiting our children and our children’s teachers, leadership team and support staff.

The first fundraising meeting will be held on Monday 21st March at 7:00pm in the Staff Room. Subsequent meetings will then be held twice a term in Week 2 and Week 7. During these meetings, we discuss upcoming events and fundraising purchase suggestions and requests. Sam Kavanagh (Assistant Principal – Wellbeing) also shares updates concerning our school and students with regards to fundraising. Anyone is welcome to join these meetings, we love to see new faces!

(If you would like to be involved but are unable to commit to the meetings, we are always on the lookout for people to help at the events themselves – whether it be assisting on stalls, serving food and drink, sorting donations, making fairy floss, cooking a BBQ or hanging fairy lights. If you are interested in the ‘ground work’ side of the events, please email us your details so we can get in touch with you when we need helpers!)

Although the fundraising events for this year have not been confirmed yet, they generally offer a range of activities, such as a student disco, a Friday Fun day, a parent social event, a Quiz Night, a Wine Drive, and more. A final list of events for 2022 will be shared with the school community once they have been confirmed, along with a fundraising goal for the year.

Please feel free to contact the WPPS Fundraising Committee at wppsfundraise@gmail.com. And don’t forget to join the WPPS Community Facebook Group to stay up to date with school events. This page is run by parents, for parents!

Many thanks,

The WPPS Fundraising Committee

    School Photos

    Say Cheese

    School Photo Day is: Wednesday 9th & Thursday 10th March

    Have your child’s school memories captured forever

    Please take time to read the relevant information on the MSP Photography payment envelopes and remember these helpful points:

    • Don’t seal envelopes inside each other. You can pay for all children in one envelope however each child needs to have their own envelope on photo day
    • Family envelopes are available at the school office upon request and need to be ordered before or on photography day. Please make your children aware they are having a family photo.
    • Please enclose correct money as no change is given. Cash, cheques, credit card and money orders accepted.

    Why not give ONLINE ORDERING a go!!

    It’s the safest & easiest way to order

    Should you have any queries, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
