Principal's Views
Epping Views Primary School
It has been another busy and exciting time at Epping Views Primary School, with plenty to celebrate across our school community.
World Teachers' Day
Today we celebrated World Teachers’ Day to recognise and “shine a light” on our wonderful teachers for the dedication, care and commitment they show to our students every day. Teaching is about so much more than what happens in the classroom, and we are incredibly fortunate to have such a passionate and supportive team at EVPS.
Day for Daniel
We also acknowledged Day for Daniel by wearing red, this is Australia's largest child safety education and awareness day. This important day provides an opportunity to reinforce the importance of keeping children safe, raising awareness and continuing conversations about personal safety. Thank you to our staff and families for supporting this day.
2027 Foundation (Prep) Transition
On Tuesday, we welcomed our 2027 Foundation students and their families for the final session of our Prep Transition program. It has been wonderful meeting our newest students, watching them become increasingly familiar with our school and seeing their confidence grow throughout the transition sessions. We look forward to welcoming our 2027 Foundation students officially to EVPS next year!
The Austin School
We are pleased to welcome The Austin School to the Epping Views Primary School site. Their move marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the local community to create a positive and inclusive learning environment.
This initiative represents a significant opportunity to support student wellbeing, engagement and inclusion within the Epping community. Students are referred to The Austin School through the Infant Child Youth Mental Health Service (ICYMHS), with the program providing a term-based educational program focused on social and emotional learning, alongside the development of school readiness skills.
The program is designed to meet The Austin School students’ individualised needs through targeted support in a small group setting, helping students to build confidence, strengthen connections and experience success in their learning journey. We look forward to working in partnership with The Austin School and supporting families through this valuable initiative.
Please see attached letter Lucia Garzarella, Principal at the The Austin School.
Congratulations to Jess Duncan

This is a wonderful achievement and reflects Jess's commitment to professional growth and leadership.
