Parliamentary committee survey on civics and citizenship education

The Federal Parliament’s Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters is conducting a survey about civics and citizenship education in Australian schools. If you are a school student, an educator, or a recent school leaver, the Committee wants to hear from you! The survey will be open until the end of August.

Sustainability and Biodiversity

Glass Jars

We are currently seeking glass jars for activities in Sustainability and Biodiversity. Any clean glass jars, preferably with the label removed, (with or without the lid) that you would like to donate, would be greatly appreciated. Please drop them to the Discovery Kitchen on Level 2.

Container Deposit Scheme (CDS)

We have begun collecting bottles and cans for the CDS recycling initiative. Thank you to those families who have already jumped onboard and dropped off eligible bottles and containers to the front office collection bin. Every item we collect will earn our school 10c which will go towards purchasing more plants for our gardens. Should you wish to self-deposit at a local refund point instead, please download the CDS Vic North app, create an account, click donation and search Eltham East Primary School. All funds will be transferred directly to the school account.

Paint Donations

This term, our Year 3 and 4 students are underway with planning the installation of 8 new pollinator houses for the school gardens, as part of their ‘Busy Bees’ unit. Part of the process sees students design and paint the outside of the structure. We would be grateful for any donations of EXTERIOR paints or clear stains, that you may have around your home. We are happy to take partially used cans that you may no longer need. In particular, black paint would be most useful. If you think you might be able to assist, please reach out to kara.jackson@education.vic.gov.au for further information. Thank you!

Newsletter Advertising

We accept advertisements to be included in our newsletter from most areas of private industry, however it should be noted that Eltham East’s School Council does not endorse any product or service advertised.
