School Captains Phoenix FM Visit

On Friday Frankie and Jord visited the Phoenix FM studio to partake in an interview with radio announcer John Pearce. The girls did a wonderful job and it was a delight to see them provide considered responses to John’s questions and represent our school. We will be able to access a recording of the interview so there will be an opportunity to hear it if you were not able to tune in on Friday.

Next Thursday (14^th) our Grade 5/6 students will be launching the Picture Story Books they have been diligently working on for some time now. Everyone is welcome, our launch will kick off at 2.45pm.

The Working with Children Check is a screening process for assessing or re-assessing people who work with or care for children in Victoria.

At Eppalock PS we require any volunteers to have a current WWCC.

These checks are free for Volunteers. PLEASE CHECK TO SEE IF YOUR WWCC IS CURRENT AND THAT WE HAVE A COPY OF IT HERE AT THE SCHOOL. I HAVE JUST UPDATED OUR FILES AND WE HAVE A LOT THAT ARE NO LONGER CURRENT GOING BY OUR RECORDS.
