Principal’s Report
Bookings are now open for the Parent-Teacher Connect Meetings on Thursday 12th February, running from 1.00pm to 6.00pm.
You can book times via Compass.
Regular classes finish at 12pm on the day, but we are able to supervise students from then until 3.30pm if you are not able to collect your children earlier. Please advise your child’s teacher or the Office Staff, or send an email to emerald.ps@education.vic.gov.au, if you need to have your child/children stay until 3.30pm.
These meetings are a great opportunity for parents and carers to help teachers to get to know their child/children, reflect on the student’s learning growth and data from 2025, and to establish the ongoing learning partnership to support the students to do their best throughout the year.
Please contact us at the school if you have any queries:
emerald.ps@education.vic.gov.au or (03) 5968 4311.
On behalf of the students and staff at Emerald Primary School, I am proud to announce that our School Captains for 2026 are:
- Hunter T.
- Reve Mc.
- Amberlie P.
- Ollie D.
We have 4 Captains at EPS, rather than 2 Captains and 2 Vice Captains, so that the workload and responsibility can be shared. Well done and thank you to all applicants and short-listed candidates – the speeches were outstanding and it was wonderful to hear from the students about how passionate they all are about EPS, their hopes and dreams. Well done to this team of four students whom students and staff voted in. The Captains’ first event (apart from hosting Assembly!), will be speaking at the ANZAC Day dawn and mid-morning services and laying wreathes. Mrs. D’Rozario and I are looking forward to working with the Student Leadership Team this year.
Please be advised of the following student free days, when our staff will be completing professional learning activities or parent teacher interviews:
- Thursday 12th February – Parent-Teacher Connect Meetings from 1pm to 6pm; classes finish at 12pm on this day. Supervision at school is available on this afternoon until 3.30pm.
- Monday 20th April – Curriculum Day
- Thursday 25th June – Parent-Teacher Interviews
- Monday 13th July – Curriculum Day
- Friday 4th December – Assessment & Reporting Day
For those families using the TheirCare childcare service, they are preparing to have students on the 20th April, 25th June,13th July and 4th December dates: https://theircare.com.au/
