Hot Weather Reminder
As we move into the hotter months, we encourage all students to bring in books, puzzles, and small games to help keep them entertained indoors during break times. Please also ensure your child brings a water bottle and wears a hat every day.
Library Book Returns
Library book collections will begin in early June. Once your child has finished with any books, please begin returning them to school from June.
Swimming Updates
Year 3 to Year 6 Swim Galas will take place during the week beginning Monday, 5th May.
Please note that during this week, there will be no external squads, and both PE and swimming lessons will be postponed.
FS1 to Year 2 Swimming Observations: Parents will be invited to attend their child’s regular swim lesson during the week of 12th May. Class teachers will be in touch with specific details.
Old Uniform
If you have any uniform items that your child has outgrown, we would warmly welcome donations to our school clinic. Spare clothing is always useful in case children need a change during the day — for example, after a spill, illness, or other unforeseen circumstances.
Your support helps us ensure every child remains comfortable and cared for while at school.
Thank you for your continued support and involvement. We look forward to another great week ahead.
Warm regards
VHPS Team
