BOOK WEEK
We kicked off Book Week with our PJ Day to raise money for our StoryDogs program. The day was spent being comfy and engaging in our loveof books and reading. Each year level participated in DEAR (DropEverything and Read) throughout the day. At lunchtime Ms Grindleyand Mrs John spent time in the learning centre reading to studentsacross the school. $500 will be donated to Story Dogs!

Fathers’/Special Persons’ Stall and Afternoon
There was a wondeful vibe here at school yesterday afternoon for our activities across the school. The weather turned it on and the students loved the opportunity to share some time with someone special.
The stall was a great success and this is due to the work of our EPS Families Subcommittee. Also a big thank you to all of the parents who volunteered to run the stall throughout the day.
School House Athletics
Take 2 on our Aths day and the conditions allowed for a great day of competition. The students showed great determination to give all the events their best shot and showed respect and encouragement to their fellow competitors.
Much work goes on behind the scenes for this event to be such a success.Thank you to Mr McMaster, Ms McGloin and our First Aid Officer Jane Gray for the bulk of the organisation. Thank you also to our classroom teachers and parent volunteers. The event couldn’t run without your assistance.
