Carnival
The EHPS Carnival will be held on Saturday 18 November from 11am to 4pm.

Bake Stall
Our Year 2 classes will be hosting a Bake Stall at Carnival. EHPS families are asked to support our bake sale from your own kitchen by whipping up something delicious to share with the community. You can bake goods such as cakes, cookies, and other sweet treats! Each family has received one pack this week (sent home with the oldest child) that contains:
- 1 x instruction
- 2 x plates
- 2 x labels to write ingredients
- 2 x ribbon to tie the bag
- 2 x plastic to wrap the plate
To spark some inspiration, some suggested recipes of items that always sell well was attached to the Bake Stall message in Compass.
Bake Stall drop off:
- Friday 17 November (day before Carnival) - 8am to 9.15am or 3pm to 4pm.
