Principal’s Update

Dear Parents/Caregivers,

EPS Cross Country Last Friday saw all of our students from Year 2-6 participate in our annual school cross country. It was great to see so many students ‘having a go’ and others who really surprised themselves with how well they ran. Congratulations to the first 4 place getters in each age group who will compete this Friday at the Deniliquin and Disrict Cross Country. The following students ran exceptional well and finished as age champions or runner up in their age group.

Athletics Carnival Next week on Wednesday, 5th June, the school will be holding their annual Athletics Carnival. All parents and carers are invited to come along and support their children. Helpers are always wanted at the events so if you can spare some time to lend a hand it would be much appreciated. Please give the office a call and they will pass on your name to Mrs Young.

Athletics Track Thank you Last Friday there were lots of excited students when they saw our Athletics track and football field being marked on our back oval. A big thank you to Dean Blacker who marked out all of the GPS co-ordinates last weekend and Glenn Hayes, Gary Butcher and Graham Marchant for marking all of the lines on Friday morning. The students will have had 3 athletics preparation afternoons before carnival, where they have received some coaching before our carnival next Wednesday.

The Fathering Project

Our information night is being held on Wednesday 5th June 2019 at 6.30pm for a BBQ followed by the information session at 7.00pm.

The Fathering project was created for fathers and their children across Australia. It aims to improve child father connections as we know a strong father child relationship has a positive impact on a child’s development. For more information on the Fathering Project please go to: https://thefatheringproject.org/

National Simultaneous Storytime

‘Alpacas with Maracas’ Last Wednesday, all classes participated in the National Simultaneous Storytime. Every year a picture book, written and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator, is read simultaneously in libraries, schools etc around the country. Now in its 19th year, it is a colourful, vibrant, fun event that aims to promote the value of reading and literacy.

Reconciliation Week This week we are acknowledging ‘Reconciliation Week’. All classes will be participating in a variety of activities in the classroom.

National Reconciliation Week is a time for all Australians to learn about shared histories, cultures and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia. This year’s theme is ‘Grounded in Truth, Walk Together with Courage’.
