Principal News - Week 9

Final Prep Transition
Yesterday we ran our final Prep transition session. The students were placed into their class for next year and met their teacher and classmates. It was lovely to see them again and they are certainly growing in confidence and appearing ready and excited for Prep in 2026.
Colour Run
Last Friday we held our first ever Colour Run. It was such a great whole school activity. Some students declared that it was the best day of their lives! The event was not possible without the huge efforts of a large group of ENPS families. On Thursday night families were at school late into the night preparing for the day creating tunnels, water spraying bays and other surprise points on the track. On the day a large group of volunteers arrived to make the event come alive. Without all the effort from our community this event couldn’t have gone ahead. The planning, preparing and purchasing of materials was huge. Thank you so much to our wonderful community of helpers that made this happen.
Mural
We are not far from finishing our mural. It is starting to have bursts of beautiful colour everywhere. Here’s a recent progress shot
Year 6 graduation
On Wednesday next week it is our night to celebrate the wonderful milestone of finishing primary school. Our year 6 students and staff have been preparing for the night and are looking forward to celebrating their achievement with their families and teachers.
End of Year celebration
On Thursday evening we will be holding our end of year celebration concert.
Families can bring picnic rugs and food from 5pm and set up on the assembly court. The Eltham Rotary will be putting on a sausage sizzle and selling sausages. Students may come dressed in Christmas colours, attire and accessories if they choose to do so! Otherwise, it is free dress! Students are also welcome to wear the festive outfits at school on Friday 12th December.
Please note, performances are approximate times so the running sheet below is approximate. We will endeavour to run on time as much as possible and have the concert end around 7pm!
We ask that everyone takes home all rubbish that is brought in picnic baskets please.
Can’t wait to see you all there and may it be a wonderfully, warm summer evening!!
