What a joy it has been to see students, staff and the community engaging in so may wonderful learning opportunities. The staff at EPS work tirelessly to ensure that our students participate in engaging activities that they will remember for years to come.
Book Week
Thank you to Mrs Sander for organising an amazing Book Week showing us that reading really is magic! From the Book Fair to the Magic Show and the lively Book Parade students had multiple opportunities to celebrate the joy of reading.
Bullying No Way
On Tuesday 13th of August students and staff wore purple to take a stand against bullying. Students participated in discussions on challenging stereotypes, empathy, embracing diversity, positive relationships and providing support. Every student in the school has contributed to a whole school display to show that at EPS we are united against bullying.
Science Week
On Wednesday 14th of August to celebrate Science Week, students participated in a "Spotlight on Science" session. Students had the opportunity to engage in scientific experiments, design and make activities and collect data on the theme "Species Survival - More Than Just Sustainability."
Teachers Learning Together
Weeks 4 and 5 saw teachers participating in classroom observations as part of our ongoing commitment to school improvement. Teachers planned and delivered lessons in line with school and personal goals and received feedback from peers about their teaching and learning. Teachers are to be commended for their professionalism, collegiality and pursuit of ongoing learning.
