Parents entering school during teaching hours
Whether you are collecting your child early or dropping off lunch / drink bottles, we request that you come to the office and we will ring through to your child's classroom to avoid disruption & distraction during teaching sessions.
School Photo Update
Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, we have to push the school photo day back into Term 2. The new date is Wednesday 17 April (Week 1 of Term 2) and will remain as full summer uniform (no runners. If it's your child's sports day they can bring runners in their school bags).

On Friday the 8th March, St Paul’s had 8 swimmers that competed in 11 events at the Beachside Division Swimming Carnival at the Oakleigh Recreation Centre.
