CENSUS

Last Thursday was Census day. We currently have

1363 students across 60 classrooms. This is down

from 1367 at the same time in 2018. Census day

data plays a large part in the funding allocation

that schools receive.

SCHOOL PROJECTS

Our Maintenance team consisting of Neville and

Gerrard have been completing a number of excit-

ing projects across the school lately. We have had

both sandpits topped up, new cabinets set up across the school and fantastic new turf that has

been laid at the Epping Views Kinder. Check out

the green lawn next time you walk past!

KITCHEN GARDEN

Our newest specialist subject is Kitchen Garden, a

subject involving cooking, food preparation, grow-

ing natural foods and learning about restaurant

expectations. It has been a hit amongst many of

our students. Classes are held in our Kitchen Gar-den room and our Vegetable Garden as students

grow and then prepare different edible items. You

may have studied Home Economics or Food Tech

at school in the past and this subject provides

similar experiences for our children. Parents wish-

ing to volunteer as an assistant in this subject

would be most welcome. Helen, Leeanne and Ro-

sie can be contacted via the office.

peanut butter, nuts or nutella spread to come to school at any

time. Please assist us to keep our students safe. Thank you.

ABSENCE

Pauline is currently on leave, dealing with an

injured leg. We wish her well in her recovery. She

aims to return next week, however in the meantime I

am available to assist in an Acting Principal

Capacity. Please ask for me at the office if you need me.

LUNCHTIME CLUBS

Can I please ask that all parents discuss playtime options with their children. There are so many

options available to our students and these options

are important if your child is feeling uneasy in the

yard or if their best friend is absent. On yard duty

today I saw children on play equipment, in the sand-

pit, sitting in quiet areas, at the canteen, playing

ball games and feeding the chickens. In addition to

all these options we have lunchtime clubs such as

Soccer Club, Drawing Club, Lego Construction, and

Board Games. Students have so much choice at

Epping Views and we want them to be aware of what

is available.

OFFICE HOURS

Just a reminder that our office hours are as follows:

Monday to Friday 8:30am to 4:15pm

Also the Uniform Shop is open every Monday,

Wednesday and Friday. On Thursday mornings we

have an Arabic speaking staff member available

from 9am until 12pm for your convenience.
