Term 4 Week 10 Date: 14th December 2017

“Our School...Your Children...Their Future”

Dear Parents and Carers,

Congratulations to our Year 6 students and teachers

for a fantastic mini-fete held last week, the major

fundraising event for our Year 6 students. Thank

you to all students for their support and great

involvement in the fun activities.

This week saw the official announcement of our

2018 School Captains and Vice-Captains. We were

extremely proud of all 30 candidates, through their

campaigns, speeches and mature response to the

final outcome. Congratulations to Asher Grabham

and Beth Anderson - Captains, and to Rupert Begg

and Imogen Lowe – Vice-Captains. We know they

will be outstanding leaders and role models and we

look forward to working with them next year in

their leadership capacity. Congratulations and thank

you to our outgoing Captains – Harvey and Kira

and Vice Captains – Grayson and Tessa. They have

provided excellent leadership throughout the year.

Thank you to all the parents and friends that joined us last Monday for our Presentation Day Assembly. Congratulations to all the boys and girls who wore their school uniform with pride and sat with patience and consideration throughout the assembly. A big thank you to Mrs Porter for her seamless organisation of the event.

Thank you – I would like to offer my heartfelt thanks to the students, parents and staff of Eglinton Public School who have made it a pleasure to lead such a great school as your Relieving Principal. I very much look forward to working alongside you again next year in my substantive role as Assistant Principal.

Have a safe and relaxing holiday season.

Reminders: During your school holidays please go through all your preloved clothing and donate back to us next year. All donations appreciated.

HUGE THANK YOU to all who have donated throughout the year. HUGE THANK YOU to all the volunteers who come and help the uniform shop run smoothly.

WATSON SKORT: Skorts are not due in until January, when they are in I will text you. Thank you all for your patience.

On a personal note: a huge thank you to our P & C and all volunteers at our school. My youngest heads off to high school next year, so a chapter closes and another opens….. I will continue to work at EPS uniform shop and canteen if needed. I have enjoyed all the years at EPS along with other Year 6 parents who are finishing up this year too. I have been involved in all aspects of volunteering at the school and stand proudly along with our past and present wonderful students … in being proud to be part of the EPS school community.

Merry Christmas and Happy New year for 2018.

See you on Mondays, Denise
