School Council

Planning for better facilities at ENPS

A key focus of the ENPS School Council’s first meeting for the year was exploring opportunities to improve our school facilities by applying for a major capital works grant. If successful, a grant has the potential to make a huge difference to our children’s learning and wellbeing. Strong community input and support will be critical to maximising the chances of a successful application.

Over the coming months, School Council will be seeking feedback from families on which facilities most need improvement and the impact current spaces have on students’ learning, inclusion and wellbeing. Your perspectives and experiences will help shape a compelling case for investment in our school. More information will be provided soon.

Alongside this important work, Council also discussed School Council nominations for 2026 (which close on Monday 23rd February), endorsed our financial policies, and began planning community engagement events for the year ahead.

We look forward to seeing many of you at the Family Picnic this afternoon, Friday 20th February from 3:30pm. The weather is looking fantastic and we will have Zooper Doopers for sale (while stocks last)!
