MARC Van

On Wednesday, Chris Kennett (illustrator) is visiting EPS with the MARC Van. The students have been exposed to a variety of his illustrations and are looking forward to this incursion organised by Sue Gentry.
Also, on Wednesday, August 23^rd, we will have a parade in the morning followed by a day of book fun! Dig through the dress up box and come as your favourite character.

Bendigo Art Gallery

On Thursday this week, we are off to the Bendigo Art Gallery for a free excursion. Students will be working with an indigenous artist who is working with the gallery and developing their cultural understanding of indigenous art.

After School Care Update

As families are aware, Our Patch are working through the recruitment process for a position for the OSHC coordinator. We recognise the impact that this is having on families and once we have more information regarding the process, this will be communicated.

Covid and Flu Update

Firstly, if your child is sick or presenting flu-like symptoms, please keep them home from school until they are no longer symptomatic. Please ensure that if your child is sick that you update uEducateUs to reflect this.  There have been a few enquiries as to what the process is if a child tests positive to Covid.

If your child tests positive to Covid,

1. Parents/carers should complete the Student COVID-19 COVID Test Portal if a student tests positive to COVID-19 (via a PCR or rapid antigen test).
2. Students who report a positive result are recommended to isolate for a minimum of 5 days and not attend school until their symptoms have resolved.

We are very lucky to be having Chris Kennett visit Eppalock PS on

Wednesday July 26^th.

Chris is a local illustrator who has worked on LOTS of amazing projects, from Star Wars to School of Monsters. He is also responsible for the fabulous artwork on the MARC Van.

If you own any of Chris’s books make sure you bring them along for him to sign on the day!
