Please come and join us for a Working Bee session followed by a BBQ on Saturday 22nd March, from 9.30am to 12pm. You are welcome to join us at any point during the morning.

Jobs will be weeding, clearing of Frog Bog, mulching and some structural work around the veggie gardens down the back. Come and join the EPS Parent Community Team and help to beautify our schoolgrounds for Autumn!

Hope to see you then!

At Assembly this Friday, members of the Rotary Club of Emerald and District will be joined by Daniela De Martino, State Member for Monbulk, to present our 2025 Early Act Club with their badges and certificates. Last year the Early Act Club raised almost $5000 for the Wheelchairs for Kids program, started our recycling collection to fundraise for new drink taps on the oval and supported our local emergency services with letters of support and sweet treats to say thank you! We look forward to seeing what projects they come up with this year!

This week …

EarlyAct is underway for 2025 and we have an exciting project coming up but before we can get started we need your help.

We require about 25 empty plastic 2 litre drink bottles.

If you have any that you could spare, please leave them outside Mrs Forsythe’s classroom.

We look forward to sharing our new project with you very soon!

If so please bring them to the Emerald SES to be recycled. Emerald Primary School is now a registered donation partner with the Victorian Container Deposit Scheme. So your rubbish can be recycled and each empty container earns 10c. Please donate the money you collect to our school, so we can fundraise for more drink taps on the school oval.

If you pack a juice box or an up and go in your child’s lunch box, please inform them that there will be a designated bin in their classroom for the ten cent bottles and cartons to be collected in.

In addition, parents can donate eligible containers from home directly to the SES and nominate EPS to receive the funds. This is a great opportunity to support our school.

Kind regards the Early Act Team

If you hold a current Concession Card, please come into the Emerald Primary School Office to collect and submit your form with a copy of your Concession Card.

Could families please log into the SSB system to reallocate their SSB to School Activities if they want to use it for camps/excursions or sports events. Could you also please complete the form which was sent home and return it to our lovely office staff.
