Secondhand Uniform & Lost Property
We had a successful secondhand uniform sale and donation day today, Friday 17 October, raising $725 – valuable funds for the PFC and our school community.
I would particularly like to thank Alison Patchett, Elima Pozenel, and Kat Pryde for their help.
The second donation day for Term 4 is scheduled for Friday 12 December from 3pm to 3.30pm. Donations of any items that you no longer require, that are of good quality, clean, have the current EHPS logo uniform (PSW or Spartan School World brands) and in good saleable condition (i.e. not dirty/stained or torn – deliver these items to a rag bin) will be gratefully received on this day.

Ritchie’s IGA Loyalty Program
Our school is part of the Ritchies Community Benefit Program (RCBP). EHPS received $20.25 from the RCBP in September, representing 0.5% of purchases made by customers who have selected EHPS as their organization to support.
If you shop at a Ritchies IGA (the local store is in Mount Waverley) and are a member of their loyalty program, please support EHPS by choosing our school as your nominated beneficiary. Each month we receive 0.5% of purchases made by customers who have selected our school each month. Please encourage family and friends who also shop at IGA to support EHPS.
