What a delightful morning we had on Thursday for our Mother's Day Treat, providing a free coffee and breakfast treat to our Mums/Special Friends.
Thank you to our volunteers who offered their time and help, and to Kristi Lloyd (Year 3/4 Coordinator and 3/4 Teacher) for taking photos.
We hope you also enjoyed the opportunity to have a photo taken with your child/children. Following are some of the lovely photos taken by Kristi:

Mother's Day Stall
We've had a successful day today, with all classes visiting the Mother's Day Stall in the Hall.
What a fantastic turnout too from all the parent volunteers today to support this annual event. Our mum’s and significant others are going to wake up feeling very loved this Mothering Sunday. It's always an amazing experience for all the students and they embrace it with such joy.
We will advise the amount raised in the next issue of Contact.
Secondhand Uniform & Lost Property
Thanks for the great support for our Term 2 Secondhand Uniform Stall on Wednesday 1 May. Your donations of good quality uniform for someone else to use and to sell to raise funds for our school are greatly apreciated. A special thank you to the following volunteers who were the most amazing bunch of helpers and worked so hard: Alison Patchett, Bixia Le and Elima Pozenel.
We raised $1,165 for our school.
Donations of good quality, clean, current EHPS logo uniform that you no longer require, will be gratefully received on the second donation day for this term on Wednesday 5 June from 3pm to 3.30pm. Please remember to remove or cross out your child's name before donating.
This week, the Sustainability Captains undertook the task of identifying and returning unclaimed named uniforms to students. A huge thank you to Yogini Patel and the Sustainability Captains Malmika B, Luna H, Hannah K & Olivia M , for their efforts and assistance.
However, there continues to be a large number of unclaimed uniforms and other lost items in the Lost Property boxes. These are the four large grey, square lidded boxes located at the Eucalyptus, Banksia and Violet buildings and the Stadium foyer. Lost lunchboxes and water bottles are placed on the windowsill of Library Conference Room (near the Eucalyptus lost property box).
Please ensure students names are labelled legibly so that students can take responsibility to identify and search for their own lost uniforms and items. Parents/Guardians are also encouraged to check through the four Lost Property Boxes for lost items and may do so before 8.50am and after 3.30pm on school days.
Unclaimed, unnamed items of clothing in the Lost Property boxes may be offered for sale for fund raising.
