Trivia Night Wrap - What a night!

Our wonderful ES Team in all their glory at the 2025 Trivia Night.
Our wonderful ES Team in all their glory at the 2025 Trivia Night.

Our 2025 Trivia Night was a testament to our wonderful, connected school community. There were many laughs, lots of heated competition and our winning table --- for the third year running --- were very pleased with themselves, rightfully so! 

We are simply thrilled to announce that our event raised just over $15,000! 

These funds will be put towards the purchase of new shelving, furniture and resources in our Library space, for our whole school to enjoy. 

We anticipate the new and improved Library space will be completed in Term 4, once the current building repairs have been completed in our Prep and Junior rooms and classes are operating from their own spaces once again. 

 

TAC’s Safe Migration Project 

The TAC’s Safe Migration Project is designed to give parents and carers practical tips to help their children travel safely to and from primary school.

 

They have developed a range of new resources, including engaging content and simple, easy-to-follow advice to help parents and carers establish safe travel habits with their children from day one.

Classes have commenced practicing their concert items and the excitement amongst students is building!

Tickets will be on sale early next term.
