Principal Weekly Update

WEEK

11-October-2024

Welcome to Term 4

We have had a great start to the term with our Foundation students already attending an excursion to Moonlit Sanctuary and a group of our Senior students representing EPS at the Division Athletics today! As always, it is a jam- packed term full of learning and experiences. Please be sure to read the Termly Update outline what is happening across the school.

Some general reminders:
BIKES AND SCOOTERS – now that the weather is getting warmer it is fantastic to see so many families now choosing to ride/scoot to school. Please be mindful that once you are on school property please walk bikes and scooters. Also helments are compulsory. Bikes left overnight are not secured so please make sure all bikes are collected or please let the office know so we can make arrangements.

2025 SCHOOL UNIFORM
This is an early reminder that this is the final term that our old uniform with the old logo can be worn at school. From 2025 the new uniform is required for all students. Our Yr 6 students will have their special t.shirt and jersey, with this information recently communicated to parents. The upcoming School Savings Bonus can be directed towards uniform.
