Dear Parents and Carers,

As I write this week’s newsletter, the smell of organges,

mandarins and apples fill the air. There is a small group of

parents busily chopping up fruit and making fruit cups. There is

a whole lot of laughter and conversation happening as well.

Our community is so supportive of our school and I am so very

grateful for the way in which we can all band together to

make wonderful things happen for our students. Many thanks

to P&C for preparing fruit cups for our students as a reward for

modelling our PBL values of Safety, Focus and Respect. Many

thanks also to the Shearer family for kindly donating all of the

fruit to the P&C. I know that the students really appreciated

this treat after their sports reward today.

This week we took delivery of our new storage and charging

trolley which will house our 30 new laptops, purchased by the

school. We also received a class pack of Ozobots which will

be used across the school to help students understand

robotics and coding. We are continuing to expand our range

of technology to enhance the teaching and learning

programs at our school.

Next term we are very fortunate to have the team from

Scope IT coming in to the school to provide all students from

Year 1 to Year 6 with the opportunity to engage in coding

lessons. A note will be coming home on Monday with some

information for familes about this very exciting experience. If

you would like to learn more please visit

www.scopeITeducation.com.au

This afternoon several EVPS staff and teachers from other

local public school visited our library to listen to speakers from

the Refugee Council of Australia. I would like to thank Miss

Tindall for her organisation of this event. It was a sensational

afternoon of learning and sharing of stories. It is so easy to

forget how fortunate we are to live in this country.

Cogratulations to all of the students for the outstanding

effort at the Jump Off on Tuesday. It was a magnificent

event, expertly coordinated by Miss Lewis. Please see Miss

Lewis’ report further on in the newsletter.

Jump Rope for Heart

On Tuesday morning, students participated in our Jump Rope for Heart ‘Jump Off’. I am very pleased to

report that all students (even teachers) got involved and had a skip to get their heart rates pumping.

Students took part in four different skipping activities that included relays, running through a turning rope,

jumping over moving rope without spilling water and showing off their skills in freestyle. Congratulations to all

students as the behaviour and energy put into the day was amazing!

We have raised $6196.60 towards the Heart Foundation to support valuable research into heart disease.

Students will receive their prizes from the heart foundation sometime next term. Our raffle will be held on

Friday, where all students who raised money will have their name entered and a chance to win one of

these prizes:

Signed special edition Spiderman Newcastle Knights jersey

4x tickets to Inflatable World

Book pack
