Join us on Saturday, 28 November, State Election Day, and be part of the wonderful community spirit at Watsonia Heights Primary School!

We’re looking for families to help out with our sausage sizzle and cake stall. Why not spare an hour, pop in while you vote, lend a hand and catch up with other WHPS families?

Every helping hand makes a difference, and we’d love to see parents, grandparents, carers and other family members get involved!

Please note: To meet health and safety regulations, volunteers working in the sausage sizzle area must be aged 16 years or older. Unfortunately, children under the age of 16 are unable to volunteer in this area.

How you can help:

🌭 Volunteer for a sausage sizzle shift.

🍰 Help out at our cake stall.

🧁 Donate baked goods or other suitable treats for the cake stall.

💛 Join our planning team and help us prepare for the day.

💛 R U OK?

Sometimes, a simple conversation can make a big difference.

Taking a moment to check in with someone, ask “R U OK?” and genuinely listen can be a small act with a big impact 💛

🔴🖤 Our new signage has been installed this week! We have a fresh new look on our perimeter to replace the previous signs that had weathered over the years.

📸Within the grounds, you’ll also find some new welcoming signs with photos of current students. These are in the Main Office and around the Elder Street pedestrian gate. Thank you to those students and families who have been excited to be part of our refreshed signage! 🖤🔴

Congratulations to Odette who is our winner of this prize.

3. Ms Annalise – Levi
4. Ms Kathryne – Max
5. Mrs Macdonald – Harvey
6. Mr Hunt -Zara

Leading Fundraising Class:
We also have a prize for the class that raised the most funds for the school. The prize is a Cool Pop Party. Our winning class is Prep CB who have done an amazing job raising approximately $4,400.

Last Minute Reminders:
We will alter our recess break on Friday, bringing it forward to 1:00-1:30pm
3-6's complete their Colour Run between 2:00-2:30pm and Prep-Year 2 complete their Colour Run between 2:30-3:00pm
School Colour Run Assembly 3:00-3:30pm
Students need to bring along a cheap white shirt on the day to get changed into that may get wet/messy.
Those students participating but not wanting to be hit with powder or water can use a cross of the arm 'no deal' sign to avoid being hit with powder or water. These students may also choose to wear a red shirt on the day, so it is easier for our volunteers to know their wishes not to be hit with powder or water.
Students getting the ‘full colour run water, powder and foam’ treatment may be a little messy following the event. Parents/carers transporting students in vehicles may want to consider packing a change of clothes, towels etc for the trip home.
As part of the fun, our students will receive colourful sunglasses and headbands for the event.

Lastly, with only 1 night to go, can I please ask for families to give one last prompt for any family and friends that may be intending to donate but haven't got around to it yet.

Sharing on Facebook and other social media platforms can be a great way to get the word out there. Every dollar raised makes a positive difference and we are close to breaking our all time Colour Run fundraising record!

The weather is looking perfect for our event tomorrow and we can't wait to put on an amazing afternoon of fun, colour, water, fun, foam, inflatables, slime and fun!

As a result of our North East Link Community Fund grant in 2025, our new Yarning Garden has been completed and will shortly be open to our students for outdoor learning, reflection and connection.

We thank Bec and Jas from our 2025 School Council for their work putting our application together, as well as Kate Thwaites MP and Cr. Mark Di Pasquale for their support.

Finally, we recognise and thank the work of Complete Landscape Construction for their design and construction of the garden.

An opening ceremony will be organised in the coming weeks to offically open our new addition to our school community.
