Welcome Event
Thank you to everyone that came to the 2025 Welcome Event on Friday 21st February. It was a lovely sunny afternoon with music and dancing with DJ Bec and delicious ice cream from Ben & Jerry’s Burwood Brickworks.
PFC Winery Tour - W H A T A D A Y!
The sun came out for our first adults only PFC event of the year last Saturday, and it was glorious! Great company (and a lot of laughs), beautiful wineries and fabulous food, all whilst raising money for the school - it couldn’t have been a better day.
Thank you to everyone who kindly bought tickets to the Winery Tour, and to our main sponsor @scottkimrealestate as well as @wolfofthewillows for their generous donations.
Congratulations to all our raffle winners!
A special shoutout to Beck Reeves for being an absolute legend on the day. She helped keep everything running smoothly, managed the social media posts, and was always there when I needed an extra hand.

We would like to thank everyone for their donations, and the parent helper superstars Niki, Liyen, Alison and Sam at our Term 1 Secondhand Uniform Sale & Donation Day on Friday 14 February. Thanks also to Yogi and the Sustainability Captains who returned all the named items to students. We raised $1867.00.

Donations of good quality, clean, current EHPS logo uniform (PSW or Spartan School World brands accepted) that you no longer require, will be gratefully received. Please remember to remove or cross out your child's name before donating. The sale of donations are a fundraiser for our school.
