Dear Community
As we finish off Week 3, students are starting to engage in more and more whole school activities here at Scarborough PS.
After school procedures
Unfortunately, as per yesterday’s Skoolbag notification, I once again need to stress the importance of leaving the school grounds promptly at the end of the day. No families should be staying to utilise the play areas or any part of the school site. Everybody should have vacated the site by 3:20, unless they have a prearranged meeting with staff.
The presence of families on site after school this term has started to negatively impact on school operations in the afternoons on almost a daily basis. The increase in numbers of people now accessing the school site in the afternoons is now making the situation untenable.
Whilst we understand the positives of community catch-ups and play opportunities, this can no longer be done on the school site.
Please respect our community by adhering to this request.
Voluntary Contributions
Over the next few weeks you may be receiving a statement regarding the annual voluntary contribution. We understand that this has been a disastrous year for many families and don’t want to place any additional pressure on families, however, we are asking that you consider paying this voluntary contribution if you are in a position to do so. Thank you to those families who have paid previously; voluntary contributions are an important part of our budget and go towards making sure our school is well resourced with books, technology and other materials to help us deliver a quality education to your children.
2021 Enrolments
This week, we sent home acceptance letters for students who will be joining us in Kindy and Pre-primary in 2021. I am pleased to report very healthy numbers. We will be welcoming many new families to our community along with many younger siblings of existing students.
We are now starting to work on our staff and class structures for next year. If you are aware that you may be leaving before the start of next year, could you please let the office know so that we can consider this in our plans.
Please read on below for more information on happenings around our school, in particular, information from our wonderful P&C who also have some exciting things in the works for us this term.
As always, if you have any queries, please don’t hesitate to contact me

Principal
Our third entry in the competition:
A jumper I bought was picking up static electricity. So, I returned it to the shop. They gave me another one free of charge!
If there are any Dads out there that want to contribute an appropriate dad joke, please send them to;
josh.dorozenko@education.wa.edu.au.
We will be having a vote at the end of year for the best Dad joke with the winner receiving a Bunnings gift voucher. Are you going to be the punniest Dad at Scarborough Primary?
Hello SPS families!
What a great day everyone had last Friday. Thank you to everyone for joining in and coming to school in your pyjamas and for supporting our P&C. We raised just over $300 and have had so much positive feedback we just might have to do it again!
Next Meeting
The next P&C General Meeting will be held Monday 31 August at 6.30pm in the school library. We will be talking about an upgrade to the school library and the school uniform.
We welcome all Scarborough Primary families and community members to come along. It is a gold coin donation to become a paying member of the P&C. Only a financial member can participate in the democratic decision making processes of a P&C Association, so please remember your gold coin!
Canteen
Just a little reminder that we are still looking for canteen volunteers. If you have any Friday mornings available this term (or throughout the year), Laura would love some assistance in the SPS canteen.
Follow the link below to pick a day and lock it in.

You will be taken through to our dedicated canteen page, and you can choose the days that work best for you.
Please also note that all canteen orders need to be placed via QuickCliq prior to 8.30am on Friday. Cash is not accepted.
