There's always something to celebrate at our school! From exciting events to proud moments and everyday wins, here are some of our highlights.

Year 6 students Mason C (Boys Touch Football), Benny M (Boys Netball), Mahlia K (Girls Touch Football) and Ella F-W (Girls Touch Football) who are all heading to Ballarat, Victoria this weekend to compete at the School Sports Australia Championships.

All of these students have been selected as part of their respective NSWPSSA Teams which is a huge achievement.

"Just keep swimming" is the new mantra for Year 2. Students were very excited to start their Swim Scheme program.

Year 5 were sensational at the DanceSports gala evening on Tuesday. The strong team work skills learnt through the program enabled such dancing success.

"Blue skys and smiles for miles" for today's K-2 Athletics Carnival. Thank you to SportsPro for setting up and supervising the various activity stations, and our EHPS teachers and staff who ensure that our littlest athletes have a fun-filled morning.

All students enjoyed listening to authour Gregg Driese speak as part of 'Children's Book Week"

What a magical night and AMAZING performance by the Senior Strings ensemble at the Mimosa Concert, Festival Instrumental Music.

A picture perfect day for our Kindy students' excursion to Gibberagong Environmental Education Centre, Bobbin Head and Rainforest Walk.

K-2 students are participating in the 'Eat a Rainbow' initiative. Students will participate in a nutrition lesson focusing on the benefits of eating a variety of fruits and vegetables. They then have the opportunity to create colourful edible art from freshly prepared produce, and then of course, eat their creations!

Year 5 students participated in the NEST HPGE Enrichment Program 'Flying Through Time', which explored how people lived in the Roman Empire through an investigation of historical sources.

Parents and carers were welcomed to the afternoon showcase where our young historians demonstrated their skills.

Stage 2 students throughly enjoyed their time out on the water as part of their geography program "Places are Similar and Different at Sydney Harbour"

^{"I wanted to take a moment to formally express my sincere gratitude to one of your class teachers, Laura Vander Straaten, for the incredible work and dedication she has shown to our son this year.}

^{We’ve come such a long way, and she has truly been the backbone of this journey. From the moment our son found out Laura would be his teacher, he was excited and determined never to miss a day of school again. Under her care, he has rediscovered his joy for learning, his motivation to do well, and his belief in himself. With her support he has become a confident, self-aware student who can articulate his feelings and use strategies to manage challenges, to me these skills that will serve him far beyond the classroom. She is a truly exceptional teacher and someone who changes young lives through her positivity, empathy, and teaching strategies". -} ^{An EHPS parent}

_{"I wanted to send a note to thank you so much for the efforts you are putting into the emotional and social education of the class. My daughter is coming home abuzz and fulfilled, having expanded her friendships and enjoying new social experiences.}

_{The talk about the "fruit bowl" and the new learnings she is having, has been so heartwarming to hear.}

_{Her emotional development and the skills she is learning around boundary setting are the most important things I think she could learn. I’m so grateful that she gets to learn these things at such an early stage of development, before phones etc, become part of the picture.}

_{You’re doing a great job! I can’t imagine it’s easy, but it’s incredibly impactful". -} _{An EHPS parent}
