Issue 5 orders are expected soon, and will be distributed to students when received. 

We greatly appreciate your support of this regular fundraiser for our school.

Scholastic Book Fair

A heartfelt thank you for your incredible support during our recent Book Fair! Your enthusiastic participation made this event a tremendous success, and we are thrilled to announce that we raised an amazing $5683.34! 🎉

Scholastic has generously rewarded us with 30% of the sales proceeds, which will go towards updating our beloved library with new and exciting books! 🥳

🌟 🙏 We would like to extend our deepest appreciation to our dedicated and extraordinary parent volunteers who generously sacrificed their precious time to help us out. Without you, this success would not have been possible.

🫶 Our sincere thanks also go to our fantastic staff for supporting the Fair in so many ways — whether through your purchases or assisting with the organisation. Your contributions were invaluable! 

🤩And let’s not forget our awesome students, who eagerly stepped up to spread the word by putting up flyers and gnome signages around the school. Your efforts were crucial to the Fair's success! 

Keep an eye out for exciting new and magical 🪄 additions coming your way!

Take care when returning library books

We have recently received notification from Boroondara and Knox Libraries that EHPS library books has been incorrectly returned to them. 

We are grateful to our local libraries for letting us know they have our books, and for the opportunity to get them back. We will be asking the families that last borrowed the books to collect them by the due date (if not collected by the specified date, our books are destroyed).

Please take care when returning library books that you return these precious resources to the correct library.
