Term 4 Week 8 7th December 2018

Dear Parents and Carers,

Today your children will be taking home a very important

note. Please check all backpacks (look out for squashed

bananas) for a note about our Day of Celebration on

Monday, 17th December. We are very much looking forward

to celebrating a year of fun, friendship and learning at our

wonderful school.

The day will commence with our formal Presentation Day

Assembly at 9:30am followed by a family BBQ Picnic Lunch at

11:30am. To complete our Day of Celebration, our students,

including preschool students, will be performing a range of

Christmas songs and other items from 12:30pm. It is sure to be

a wonderful day to share with our EVPS community. Full

details are later in this newsletter.

On Tuesday, 18th December, the EVPS staff would like to invite

all parents, carers, family and friends, who have volunteered

at our school this year, to attend a morning tea in their

honour. This special event will commence at 11:00am and will

be held in our school library. Please sign in at the office upon

arrival and make your way down to the library to enjoy a

delicious morning tea.

As the year rapidly draws to an end, I can’t help but reflect

upon all the events of 2018. Stay tuned for a full report in our

last newsletter for the year next Friday.

Have a great week!
