Friday 2 May saw our EPS Fathers Football Team take on the Port Melbourne Primary School in a match that was full of twists, turns, mild injuries, and much competitiveness!
The team played with much gusto and determination and despite not coming home with a win all the friends and family who attended enjoyed a great contest!
Thank you to James Rosengarten for organising the team again this year.

CLASS REPRESENTATIVES & CLASS WHAT'S APP GROUPSThank you to all the parents/carers who have stepped into the Class Rep role for each class. It has been a tremendous way to get fast communications out to the community and remind them about events, and key school messages and we hope you have all enjoyed the Class/Cohort drinks that have been arranged by your Class Reps.
WHOLE SCHOOL KEY DATES CALENDARDon't forget that we now have a 'one-stop-shop' for all key dates for the year; it includes all school holidays, curriculum days, community and fundraising events, and when the kids need to be dressed in PJ's, footy colours, or their favourite book character!
