Term 3 reflection
I feel like I say this every term but WOW, what a term! Term 3 2024 has well and truly seen our school thrive inside and outside the classroom. Earlier in the term, we celebrated Book Week and today we are celebrating our students who have excelled in the Australian Mathematics Competition. Throughout the term we have had so many wonderful extracurricular activities across the school including our fabulous whole school production, swimming for our Junior School, and House Athletics for our Senior School. Our family engagement in events has further built school pride with our special persons days, trivia night and our well-attended working bee. Please check out the Term 3 School Council newsletter that provides further detail of all the happenings at EPS.
Staffing Update
We have a few staffing updates for Term 4.
1D – Bec Holland will return from her term’s Long Service Leave travelling through Australia. We can’t wait to hear all about her adventures. We thank Laura Burgoine for all of her work with 1D this term.
Science – Laura will be staying on with us for the remainder of the year as Ashlee McCarthy will be taking Family Leave. Ash will be with us for the first two weeks of Term 4 before Laura takes over. We wish Ash all the best for the arrival of her first child.
Business Manager – Our amazing BM Sandie Wishart is taking Long Service Leave for Term 4. We wish her a fun few months of relaxation and travel. It is most certainly well deserved. We welcome Bridgit Dooley who is coming across from Langwarrin Park PS to fill in for the term.
