Principal's Report We are looking forward to gathering after school this Friday to do some work around the school and spreading some mulch on the playgrounds (after cancelling last week due to poor weather!).

One of the main tasks will be moving mulch to cover the back playgrounds - so please bring along gloves, wheelbarrows and shovels/rakes:) Also, shout out for someone to please help remove some graffiti from the wooden fence on the oval – most likely a large sander would [...]

Principal's Report What a fun day last Friday was! With everyone wearing lots of fantastic hair styles and the special “hair-cutting” event at assembly, it was wonderful to hear about the results of the fundraising efforts by Mrs. Sascha Opperman towards cancer research, via Carrie’s Beanies 4 Brain Cancer Foundation. A total of $560.50 was raised from the raffle held to give EPS students a chance to cut off a braid of Mrs. Opperman’s hair, and $595.50 was raised from gold coin donations on the day – well done EPS! And well done and thank you to Mrs. [...]
