Parking

For parents/caregivers who park in the surrounding streets, please be aware of the signed parking restrictions. Local residents very often ring to complain about illegally parked cars.  Our advice always is to photograph the offending vehicle and send the details to Council so the vehicle owner can be issued with a fine.

PHPA Reminders

PHPA Annual General Meeting
The PHPA 2019/2020 Annual General Meeting, post-pointed from Term 4, 2019, will be held on Friday 14 February at 9am in the Principal's Meeting Room.  We will be reviewing the 2019 PHPA results and introducing some key changes for 2020. Please join us - RSVP: PHPA@tphs.nsw.edu.au

To help foster community spirit within the school and to increase our fundraising capacity, we encourage every family to do their best to Volunteer in the School Canteen at least once this year - this is open to all parents, grandparents and carers.

The full 2020 Canteen Volunteer Roster is now open and available at volunteersignup.org/3FEPT.

To sign up please click on the link and just follow the instructions on the page. It only takes a few seconds to do and you won’t regret it!

Each week is allocated to a different year group each semester -  this is only a guideline to encourage class groups to volunteer with parents they know. If your availability differs from your class’s allocated week - please go ahead and volunteer on the day/week that suits you best.

Without your support the Canteen wouldn’t be as wonderful as it is!

For all questions on Volunteering please email Shannon at: PHPAvolunteer@tphs.nsw.edu.au and for more information on what is involved please see the skoolbag 'Canteen Volunteering’ folder.

The PHPA will again be running the Pitt Stop Cafe, poolside, during the Swimming Carnivals this term to keep Swimmers, Parents and Staff fed and watered throughout the day.

We do rely on Volunteers to help serve and operate the BBQ - This is a fun opportunity to meet other Parents and Carers and be involved in a wonderful School event... 

You will find the link below to enable you to Volunteer for your child's Carnival if you are in a position to. Just put your name down at a time that suits you - if you end up being rostered on when your child has their race you will of course be able to go and watch them!
