22.01.2022 School Banking is Back. We are excited to remind families that School Banking is back on. School Banking Day will be commencing on Tuesday 2nd March 2021... For each weekly deposit made at school, students will receive a Dollarmites token. Once they collect 10 tokens, they can redeem them for a School Banking reward. If your child has previously participated in School Banking, or has an existing Commonwealth Bank Youthsaver account, they can start banking straight away by bringing their Dollarmites deposit wallet to school on School Banking day and hand the wallet over to their teacher. If your child has lost their deposit wallet, or you are unsure of what to do please send a note with your child to the School Banking Co-ordinator with your contact number or visit any Commonwealth Bank branch for a replacement. Our School Banking program is made possible because of volunteers. Thank you to those volunteers for donating their time to run School Banking for our students. If you would like to know more about School Banking, more information will sent home this week, or visit www.commbank.com.au/schoolbanking School Banking Team.

22.01.2022 Did you choose safety over convenience today. The teachers were out today rewarding those who parked a little further to take the pressure off the busy streets surrounding EPS.

22.01.2022 Boomerang Street Three Point Turns and U-Turns Many people are choosing convenience over safety. ... This is illegal in and around school zones, as any type of reversing is considered dangerous. This carries fines and loss of demerits points. Please do not park across a driveway, as this stops the flow of traffic and is inconsiderate to our neighbours.

16.01.2022 Tomorrow is Walk Safely to School Day! Some suggestions to make your walk safer are; * Hold an adults hand to cross the road, * Park a little further and walk to relieve pressure on parking close to school and make the roads safer around EPS, * Wear your seatbelt every time,... * Use the kiss and ride zone on Homer Street quickly and safely, * Always exit the car on the kerb side for safety. We are very proud of each and every family who has made a change to be safe for our community. We are very grateful to all those families who have and always will continue to make safety the priority for the whole community.

16.01.2022 ESPA News What a huge term! It has been wonderful for our children to have returned to face to face learning and participate in such wonderful activities with friends. ESPA would like to acknowledge and thank everyone who has gone above and beyond for the children at EPS. Firstly, Sumi, Robin, Nicole, Nalita, Caroline, Colman, Aman, Robert and Mark. ... These wonderful parents on a daily basis during Term 2 and Term 3 have been giving of their own time to monitor and assist in educating our families about safer driving practice in the surrounding streets of EPS. Also, I would like to thank and acknowledge the time that Elizabeth and Robin, our parent volunteers who have continued to assist processing Uniform Shop Orders with lots of restrictions to ensure our students are comfortable at school. These wonderful ladies, each week volunteer time and I thank them on behalf of our school community. Secondly, Mrs Angel, Ms Markovski, Ms Fomiatti, Ms Dillon, Ms Davis, Ms Gardner, Ms Molloy and the extraordinary teaching staff who have supported our students in this ever changing learning environment. You have been present morning and afternoon to provide safety and a smile at each of the school gates, this has not gone unnoticed. We appreciate you all and thank you for making drop off and pick up just that bit easier knowing you are there to greet our children. Lastly, throughout this 5 months of monitoring our surrounding streets, we have seen so many wonderful families change to choosing safety over convenience regarding parking and driving around our school. We are very grateful because this is for the safety of not just their child, but our entire school community. We thank you, your efforts show us that the time spent in promoting safety around EPS is not wasted and your behaviour will hopefully eventually make those who are still choosing convenience over safety think twice for our children. We would also like to acknowledge our Road Safety Officer, Deb from Canterbury Bankstown Council who has worked in partnership with our school, Burwood Police Command and the Council Rangers to assess our school and make changes to assist for a safer environment for our students. Canterbury Bankstown Council has assisted us recently with little gifts for our students to promote the 'Caught being Good' positive behaviour in the last few weeks.Thank you to our wonderful teachers who supported this program by stepping outside the gates and praising those families who take the pressure off our school by parking a little further and walking.What we have noticed is the students smiling and chatting with the adult dropping them to school giving a really relaxed and beautiful start to their day. There are still some changes to come around our school, so please keep your eyes open to road signage around our school.Enjoy a wonderful relaxing break and we look forward to Term 4. Kind Regards, Kristie Nevin - Large and the ESPA Team

06.01.2022 We urge families to please have your say regarding the proposed works for William Street just near our school. We feel this will add much more pressure to the traffic on Homer Street and Bexley Road as drivers will try to avoid the speed bumps. William Street is already a busy street with many families using this to arrive at EPS, what are your thoughts?

04.01.2022 Social Distancing Reminder from Skoolbag app Dear Parents and Carers Just a quick reminder to all families to ensure that you adhere to the NSW Health social distancing guidelines and maintain a distance of 1.5m between adults at all times. This is particularly important during drop off and pick up times around the school. In order to minimise congestion occurring, EPS requests that you please do not remain to have a conversation with other parents and that you leave immediat...ely once you have dropped off or picked up your child. Many thanks for your support.
