10 November 2021

From the Deputy Principal

Due to the various restrictions in place this term we have been re-arranging our prizegiving and end of term events to ensure we can still acknowledge all student achievements and have some appropriate end of year assemblies in our School Hall.

Therefore, for the purposes of your diaries I was keen to publish some updates to our calendar for the last week of this term.

Monday 6 December 2021:

  • 9.30am - Year 12 Valedictory Assembly and Prizegiving
  • 11.30am – Year 7 Prizegiving
  • 1.45pm – Year 8 Prizegiving
  • 6.30-10.30pm – Year 12 Valedictory Dinner (Novotel Manly)


Tuesday 7 December 2021:

  • 9.30am – Year 9 Prizegiving
  • 11.30am – Year 10 Prizegiving
  • 1.45pm – Year 11 Prizegiving


Wednesday 8 December 2021 – last day of school for all K-12:

  • 9am – Kindergarten Prizegiving
  • 10.15am – Years 1 and 2 Prizegiving
  • 11.45am – Years 3 and 4 Prizegiving
  • 1.00pm - Year 5 Prizegiving
  • 1.45pm – Year 6 Prizegiving


Students will have classes and activities on campus on each of the days through until the end of Wednesday 8 December. Therefore, Monday to Wednesday will have normal school attendance expectations. The previously broadcasted secondary prizegiving, scheduled for Thursday morning, will no longer take place due to the smaller events planned earlier in the week.  

More details will follow regarding parental attendance and Covid protocols. 

From the Business Manager

School Uniform Shop

We are very happy to say the school shop will be open for face-to-face sales from this Friday 12th of November.  The Pittwater House School Uniform Shop is located in our car park at 70 South Creek Road, Collaroy, adjacent to the swimming pool. Please enter the shop through the visitor entrance door located in the corner of the car park opposite our vehicle entrance gate. Staff and Students only are to enter through the entrance located within our gated school grounds.

Please note there is no parking available for the uniform and clothing pool shops during our drop-off (08:00am-08:30am) and pick-up (02:45pm-03:30pm) times during the term dates.

Current students can purchase items from the shop before school and during recess and lunch. Junior school students must have written permission in their school diary from their parent or carer.

Parents and carers wishing to visit the school shop to purchase uniform items MUST have an appointment which can be made on the school shop online booking service.  Due to COVID restriction only one parent or carer per student.

From the PHPA

PHPA Christmas Hamper Raffle

As we approach the end of a challenging year, the PHPA is looking forward to spreading some Christmas Cheer.

We are very excited to announce that we will be holding a Christmas Hamper Raffle to be drawn in Week 9.

Your Network Parents have been busy collecting a small donation from each family and the PHPA will be putting together some gorgeous hampers with a minimum value of $300 each for the lucky winners.  We will provide you with the details of each hamper as soon as they are ready!

Unfortunately, we will not be having our usual end of year Carols where at the conclusion, Dr Hillier and the Prefect body ask for a monetary donation for their chosen charity.  As a result, the PHPA will donate 50% of all funds raised from the raffle towards the Prefect’s Charity of choice.  We will let you know who are the lucky recipients as soon as it is finalised.

Do not delay, buy your raffle tickets here: https://events.humanitix.com/christmas-hamper-raffle

Spoiler Alert - the more tickets you buy, the higher the chance of you going home with a Fabulous Christmas Hamper.

Every dollar raised by the PHPA through the Clothing Pool and fundraising events goes directly towards funding projects around our School that benefit ALL students.  The PHPA recently funded the purchase of HEPA filters for every room on Campus.  We are looking to fund a few more projects in line with the Masterplan and will let you know as soon as they are finalised.

Thank you all for your support.
