This week …

Get excited EPS the Grade 5 Market Day is coming:

When: Thursday 20th June, run during class time.

Where: Year 5 end of the SLC inside and out

Who: All EPS students will attend for the day to visit the stalls. Students will attend with their grade and teacher.

Cost: Students can bring in a few dollars from home to spend on items that the Y5 students have made/are selling. Most items are priced between $1-$3 dollars.

Why: The year 5s run this Market Day each year as part of their Business/ Economics unit. Students have been responsible for the whole set up process of market day:
-conducting market research
-sourcing and making items
-marketing their products to the school
-budgeting for their stall
-On the day Y5 students will run the day providing goods and services to P-6 students. Y5 students will manage their own stalls and money for the day. (With teacher supervision).

As you move around our school over the next week you will see a range of posters advertising the goods and services that will be sold on the day. Y5 students will also be coming around to grades to “spruik” their stalls and items.

All profits made on the day will go towards a cause/item voted on by the Year 5 students.

Thankyou all for your support in the running of this special day for our Year 5. They have been working so hard to make this an amazing day for all.

Congratulations to our 9 talented athletes for their performance at the Regional Cross Country Championships. They competed against the best 90 students from  Eastern Metro Region schools, therefor the standard was extremely high!

I would like to Congratulate both Matilda C (11th) and Ollie D (9th) who have qualified for the State Championships on 18th July. We wish you both all the best!

Community News

Do you want to play your part in helping us set our priorities over the next few years by being a member of our Community Panel?

We’re looking for community members to join us at three upcoming workshops, plus an online introduction session, between July and August to help develop our 2025-2029 Council Plan.

To ensure we have a panel that represents the diversity of our region, we’re strongly encouraging community members from traditionally under-represented groups, such as women, younger people, renters, LGBTIQ+, people with a disability or people from a culturally diverse background, to express interest in joining the panel.

The Community Panel will come together to discuss ideas, opportunities and challenges for Council now and into the future.

No expert knowledge is required, just a willingness to contribute in a group setting and an open mind to learning from others and finding solutions.

The session dates and times are as follows:

  • Introductory session (online) – Wednesday, 17 July from 7pm-9pm
  • Meeting One on Saturday, 20 July from 9:30am to 3:30pm – Lilydale Civic Centre
  • Meeting Two on Saturday, 3 August from 9:30am to 3:30pm – Lilydale Civic Centre
  • Meeting Three on Saturday, 17 August from 9:30am to 3:30pm – Lilydale Civic Centre

Panel members will receive payment for their time, in recognition of their commitment and the importance of this work.
