November School Board and P & F meetings
The final P & F and School Board meetings were held recently. I would like to thank all those who have given time and energy over the course of 2020. I know these dedicated parents have been working in the background to help support the school and provide great opportunities for the students here at SSPS. Our P & F have organised our annual School Colour Run for Friday 27th November for all children to have an end of year fun activity. There are some very excited children and staff who can't wait for the chance to run through colour!!
If your child wants to take part in the Colour Run next Friday they must bring:
- Old clothes
- Old joggers/ closed in shoes
- A towel
Students will NOT be allowed to participate in the Colour Run in their school uniform.
Let's hope for a sunny day.

Have a relaxing weekend and thanks for reading.
