Commonwealth Games

Become a part of the commonwealth Games by

coming to school on Friday, 13th April dressed in colours

representing a country from the Commonwealth.

During school sport time, students will be participating in

a variety of commonwealth Game Sports.

Dear Parents and Carers,

I hope that you all had a lovely break over the Easter long

weekend. We were certainly able to enjoy some beautiful

weather. Next week is our last week of Term 1 2018. Wow!

As I walked around the playground today, I was followed

by the largest swarm of mosquitoes I have ever seen. I am

sure that one or two were large enough to put a saddle

on! To prevent students being bitten while at school, I

would like to encourage parents to apply insect repellent

to their children before they come to school. I am happy

for students to reapply insect repellent during the day, at

recess and lunch, using their own personal roll on

applicator. I believe that you can also purchase mosquito

repellent wipes and wristbands. Please do not send

students with an aerosol can. These can cause respiratory

difficulties in many of our students.

Athletics Carnival

The EVPS Athletics Carnival will take place on Tuesday, 1st

May. The carnival will be held at Glendale Athletic Centre.

This year all students from Kindergarten to Year 6 will be

attending the carnival.

All students will participate in track events. Students aged

5 to 7 years will run in their age race and then participate

in novelty events. Participation in races is based on the

age the students turn this year.

Field event trials are currently being held at school for

Junior, 11 year old and Senior athletes to select qualifiers.

The finals of all field events will be held at the carnival.

All students who compete in events will receive house

points for their team. Student results will be used to select

participants to represent EVPS at the PSSA Zone

Carnival. We look forward to seeing everyone at the

carnival.

Cassie Bate-Barnier

Principal (Rel)

This fortnight in PBL, we are looking at being safe.

We are focusing on resilience. We will look at how to

‘bounce back’ after a problem arises and the key

characteristics of resilience.

Everyone, everywhere, every time!

Our Constitution requires that we fill all of the Executive Committee positions, which includes the Treasurer of the P&C. If

this position is not filled, this effects whether or not the EVPS P&C Association can still operate, which has a flow on effect

Colour Run, the 60 Year Celebration Fete, etc.).

If you think you can help, WE NEED YOU NOW!

Full training will be provided for all that is required. Tea/coffee and a light lunch are also provided.

If you are able to help, please contact Deb on 0403 597 582 or the P&C at evpspandc@gmail.com. You will need to
