Parents & Friends Club
Essex Heights Primary School
Welcome to another exciting edition of the PFC update! As we head towards the end of Term 2, there is so much happening across our wonderful school community. Thank you to every family who volunteers, donates, attends events, supports fundraisers, follows our socials or simply helps spread the word — every contribution helps create memorable experiences for our students and families.
We are incredibly proud of the strong sense of community at EHPS and love seeing families come together to support one another. Every contribution, big or small, helps make these events and opportunities possible for our students.
Secondhand Uniform 👕
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who supported our recent Secondhand Uniform Sale last Friday. Thanks to the generosity of our community through donations and purchases, we are thrilled to share that we raised an amazing $1070 for the school!
This fundraiser simply would not be possible without our incredible Secondhand Uniform Team led by Sophia Beecroft and Rianna Wells, who work tirelessly behind the scenes washing, sorting and quality-checking every donated item before it reaches the sale tables. They also spend countless hours checking Lost Property bins and helping named items find their way back to students — a huge job that often goes unseen. We’d also need to thank Yogi Patel for coordinating the Sustainability Captains who deliver named items to students.
We would especially like to thank our wonderful volunteers who helped on the day:
✨ Sophie
✨ Rianna
✨ Anthony
✨ Alison
✨ Kim
✨ Elima
Your time and support are so appreciated by our school community.
Uniform Donations Reminder
We are always grateful for donations of clean, good quality EHPS uniform items. To help us continue providing affordable and high-quality uniforms for families, we kindly ask that donated items are:
✔️ Washed and clean
✔️ In good wearable condition
✔️ Free from stains, holes and excessive fading
Items that are no longer suitable for resale can still be responsibly recycled through clothing recycling programs such as H&M garment recycling or charity clothing bins.
Thank you for helping us keep this program sustainable and valuable for families.
