Protecting the safety and wellbeing of

children enrolled at Yea Primary School is

our highest priority. Families put their

trust in the leadership, staff, volunteers

and external providers to keep their

children safe as they learn. We know

students learn best when they feel they

are in a safe and supportive environment.

Earn & Learn Sckers

Thank you to all our families who have collected Earn & Learn s�ckers from Woolworths, Jo Dignam has been colla�ng

them and we currently have over 10,000 s�ckers. This is many more than last year. Jo’s children and many of our

students have been pu%ng the s�ckers on the collec�on sheets this term, which has made the submission of points

very easy. Next term the teachers will be able to purchase equipment for the students or classrooms.

ERPs (Educaonal Research Projects) Expo

On Friday 21st

June, all grade 3/4 students presented their ERPs projects to families and their peers. The topic was from

journey of research and explain what they learnt whilst colla�ng their work. Well done to the teachers who gave them

support to achieve their goals but at the same �me ensured the students take responsibility for their research and final

product.

Grade 5/6 ERP presenta�on are on Wednesday 26th

small groups and presen�ng their work as a play. The audience will enjoy all groups work in the mul�purpose room.
