Regional Athletics: Last Wednesday we had five students compete

And remember……

If you want to improve, surround yourself with people who challenge you!

Families Leaving TPS in 2018

Please notify the school office if your family will not be attending Thomastown PS in 2018 . We

will soon be beginning our planning for 2018 and it is essential that we know how many stu-

dents will not be with us next year.

Families Travelling Overseas in December/January

If you are organising a family holiday over December/January, please note that students need

to have attended school before Wednesday 28th February 2018.

Schools receive no funding for the entire 2018 school year for any student who has not attended

school before Wednesday 28th February 2018.

NO HAT = NO PLAY The TPS School Uniform Policy and the TPS SunSmart Policy were revised in 2016 to reflect the changes to the Anti Cancer Council’s changed recommendations . This means that all students and staff must wear a sunhat in the schoolyard as of Monday 4th September. Students must wear the school’s broad brimmed sunhat whenever they are in the school yard, including during Physical Education and sport sessions. Students who do not have a broad brimmed hat will be directed to shaded areas of the school yard during recess and lunch times. Baseball type caps are not suitable for wearing at school as they do not provide protection from the sun for a child’s ears and back of the neck and they are not part of the TPS approved student uniform. Approved school sunhats are available from the school office or at Northern Regional Uniforms at a cost of $15.
