Working Bee- Thank You
What a magnificent turnout and fantastic way to end the working week. We would like to thank all the students, staff, families and community members for coming out to the working bee and donating their time and efforts. The sense of community was overwhelmingly strong and no doubt, was a true depiction of a community-based school. The afternoon was shared with laughter, smiles and friendship and the end result is wonderful. The school is looking great so thanks to all who came along to help.
Prep Info Night
Tonight is the Prep information evening so if you are interested or know of a family who may be considering EPS for 2024, please encourage them to come along from 6PM.
Open Morning & Special Person
On Wednesday the 24th, we are having an Open Day as well as our ‘Special Person’ morning. We would love students to invite a special person in to show them our wonderful school as well as show some of the things they have been working on in class. This morning is also an Open Morning for 2024 Prep families as the Axe Creek Playgroup will be operating. If family members are able to pop in or help organise a ‘Special Person’ visit for the morning, that would be fantastic. On the day, we are asking for families who come along to bring a morning tea to share if possible. We are hoping to have a large morning tea together.
School Nurse
For all Prep families, just a reminder to please return all School Nurse info as soon as possible as the school nurse is in on Friday the 26th.
