Schools Tree Day

On Friday 5 August EHPS had their Tree Planting Day!  It was wonderful to see all the children getting out in the gardens and planting plants and seedlings such as lomandra, callistemon, lavender, a variety of succulents, grasses and ground covers.  We hope the children enjoy seeing their seedlings grow.  Thanks to the heavens, rain only came after the planting had ended to help give our seedlings a good watering in!  A huge thank you to Angela Millan (mother of Sophia 6T) for picking up 100 seedlings for us.  Also a huge thank you to Mark Williams (father of Trien, 2D) and Ian McKindley (father of Keira, 6T) for volunteering their time and assisting the children of EHPS with this exciting project!  This event could not have run so smoothly without the help of these parents!

Tree Drawing Competition

To help celebrate Schools Tree Planting Day, EHPS ran a Tree/Nature drawing competition. We had children from all year levels enter and their artwork has helped to brighten our school with a beautiful display showcasing their talents on our Library windows (see below). Unfortunately, everyone cannot win a prize, but we hope all the children enjoyed participating in this event.  The winners will be presented with their prizes at the School Assembly scheduled for Monday 22 August.

And the winners are:

Congratulations to all entries!
