Tim Winton – WA Schools Narrative Writing Competition

Awards were recently presented to students of schools who received commendations for their terrific narratives. Here at EFPS Isabel De Sousa was one such student. Her “Message in a Bottle’ story is included in the newsletter. Great work Isabel!

Naplan Results

Year 3 and 5 parents can now pick up their child’s individual 2019 NAPLAN Report from their classroom teacher. This is similar to the end of term reports release policy at our school.

Sunsmart Policy; Hats

With Spring arriving and warmer days already here it is time to re-introduce our ‘NO HAT NO PLAY’ rule. From this week students will have to have a school hat to be able to play in the playground. The uniform shop is well stocked with school hats which you can order online.

Connect concerns/correct email address

Please contact Sonya Gilmore if you have any questions or concerns about your connect log in. Please also advise the office staff if your email address has changed. Please see the attached Connect Flyer included in this newsletter. We have also attached a parent flyer with detailed step by step instructions.

Crossing Guard

It is with sadness that we inform our community of the passing of our crossing guard, affectionately known to all by first name Gary. He has helped many East Freo families safely across Marmion St for many years. He will be missed.

No canteen lunch orders for Athletics Day

As we are hosting a sausage sizzle on Friday 20th Sept for our Athletics Carnival, the John Curtin canteen will not be taking online orders. We encourage all students to jump online to our P&C website to order their delicious sausage sizzle.

Cross Walk Rules

Please walk your bikes and scooters and no bouncing balls when walking across the road.

Warm Regards,

Geordie Robertson
