Dear Parents and Caregivers,
What a wonderful fortnight we have had as an executive team relieving as Principal for Mrs Duncan.
Through our PBL award system we are always focusing on maximising student attendance by validating consistent attendance at school through salties. These salties are purple to differentiate from our yellow salties that identify positive behaviour. These salties will go into our weekly salty draw allowing students to multiply their opportunities for recognition of their positive choices. Please be aware if the yellow or purple salties come home to send these back to school for the weekly draw. Students name and class should be written on the back of each salty.
Our year 3 – 6 students are currently completing their literacy/numeracy check-in assessments. Students have shown resilience and problem-solving skills to complete both these assessments. Teachers will be using the student data to inform their teaching and learning programs and student reports.
All classes are getting excited about the upcoming CAPA showcase on the 29th November. Students are working hard on items to perform at the showcase. In the coming weeks, teachers may ask for support from families to make costumes that are appropriate to each performance. This will be communicated by each classroom teacher in the near future. We look forward to seeing you at the showcase and watching our brilliant students perform in the CAPA performing areas of dance drama and music.
Stage 3 are now participating in class sport on Wednesdays while our selected Stage 3 Rugby team are training with specialised coaches for their upcoming Gala Day in Week 7 of this term.
We hope you find time to enjoy the little things.
EHPS executive team
Mrs Howard, Mr Luff, Mr Larnach, Mrs McQuillan and Mr Smith.
