Parents & Friends Club

Disco!

What fun the Disco on Friday 19 August was!

It was so pleasing to hear the excitement around the school grounds in the week leading up to the Disco, and then to see the excitement on Friday night put a smile on all our faces. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful group of kids who enjoyed themselves with no worries or issues, just having good fun with their friends.

A huge thank you to all the volunteers that helped plan the Disco and all the volunteers on the night. As we always say, these events are not possible without the assistance of parents in the planning and running of the events. And thank you to the parents for your patience during the session change over, signing in and out is a little chaotic but an essential part of the night. We raised just over $1600 from the Disco ticket sales, which is fantastic. Thanks again to the EHPS community for your support.

Trivia Night

The PFC are very excited to be holding a Trivia Night on Saturday 8 October from 7pm to 11pm.

Gather your friends and book a table. Tables of 8 - 10 are recommended. Tickets are $28 per person or $250 for a 10 person team. If you want to purchase an individual ticket, we will try and seat you with parents from your child's year level. Purchase your ticket or team table via Trybooking - CLICK HERE.

The evening will also include a Silent Auction for you to bid on donated goods and services. We already have many fabulous donations for the silent auction, including:
