DISTRICT ATHLETICS
Congratulations to all of our talented athletes that represented EPS at the District Athletics competition today!
FOOD DRIVE
Donations for the Chelsea Community Support Pantry program can keep coming in until the end of term. Thank you for your donations.
COSTUME RETURN
A big thank you for getting those costumes back to us.
Please ensure that any production costumes still at home are returned to your classroom teacher early next week.
MEDICAL FORMS
The events (excursions/incursions/camps) policy from the Department now requires that parents complete a medical form for EVERY event.
We are in the process of updating this requirement on Compass and will shortly move away from the paper version that we have asked families to fill out this term.
Thank you for your understanding and your cooperation while this update occurs.
PROGRESS REPORTS
Progress reports for Term 3 will go live next Friday 20th of September at 4pm.
LOCKDOWN DRILL
On Tuesday we will be conducting another Emergency Management drill. A Lockdown drill will be enacted before lunch on this day.
Please feel free to mention this to your child if you feel a pre- conversation will positively prepare them.
Teahcers will talk through the process prior to the drill and debrief upon conclusion.

TOILET BLOCK RENOVATION
Some of your children may have come home this week and shared the news about the beginning stages of our toilet block renovation and dispenser upgrades. This week, brand new handtowel, paper and soap dispensers have been installed across the whole school. During the holidays our main toilet block and staff toilets will be painted and new toilet seats, where required, will be installed. A deep clean over the holidays will see these facilities looking much improved.
SUNSMART REMINDER
Hats are back!
Students now need hats and sunscreen for the remainder of the school year.
