Education Week 

This year, Education Week runs from Monday 13th May to Friday 17th May. The theme, Spotlight on STEM, celebrates the importance of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in our everyday lives, in the classroom and beyond.

Essendon North Primary School was proud to acknowledge Education Week a little early this year, as we hosted this morning's VIP event and welcomed the special people in our students' lives into our classrooms for shared activities. We are also excited to be involved in the Science Talent Search again this year, as our student participants dive into science for this year's theme Species Survival: more than just sustainability.
