    Dear Parents/Carers and Friends of Edgeworth Heights PS 

    We are past the halfway mark of Term 1. By now each family would have received a term letter from your child’s teacher. Class teachers have reported that students have settled in well into their new classes and for many students, they are showing great resilience in extending their friendship groups. 

    I would like to thank the students for their wonderful support when Epé has come to school. She has visited many of the classrooms and has made lots of new friends. I would like to thank Monique and Indi from 4/5Z who have been reporting on Epé at school. You can read their reports below. Epé has also inspired 5/6 H to write some great descriptive recounts of her visit to their class. 

    We have been lucky enough to have our  mentors from Kids Hope return this year to work with some of our students. It is always wonderful to have community support in our local schools.

    I look forward to seeing parents next week at the P&C meeting on Tuesday  9th and the Meet the Teacher on Wednesday 10th . 

    Make the most of the awesome moments 

    Mrs Duncan 

    Reports and Photographs by Monique and Indi

    Some people were lucky enough to meet Epé On their way to the office! Miss Hammond was generous enough to buy Epé her beloved possum which is now lost!
    Mrs Duncan has been visiting 4/5Z as that is Epe’s training classroom. Epé has been an absolute superstar with her training! She has learnt to sit, stand, roll over and more!
    Ms Connolly and Mrs Howard are still great friends even after arguing about which classroom Epé was going to visit first. Nothing can bring these two ladies apart!
    Epé is learning how to shake hands with others. Epé has enjoyed visiting everyone in their classrooms.
    Oliver and Epé loved playing with each other. Epé loves playing with her pink planet frisbee.
    I told you Epé loves her frisbee, look at her run. She was as fast as the wind. She was too fast for anyone to catch her.

    Student's Who Shine!

    4/5 Z's art work has brightened up our foyer.

    Thank you to the students of 4/5Z  for sharing their art work with us. They have appreciated the use of line, colour and surrealism shown in some artworks by Picasso. They then created their own artworks as self portraits to represent themselves using a single line and vibrant surrealist colour.

    Students in 4H showing how easy it is to follow a writing process.

    Eli and Lucas brought up the work they had been doing in class. It was wonderful to see the planning page they had completed before they wrote their stories. Well done boys!

    Exciting learning happening 1/2 W.

    Story by Mia 5/6H

    This morning we had Epé in our classroom. Epé is Mrs Duncan's dog, she is a labradoodle. She played with her tennis ball and reindeer, she brown and curly fur. she is very energetic and playful. I like Epé because her fur is soft and fluffy, she is cheeky, but very good. Epé is training to become a therapy dog for EHPS. She jumped around like crazy in the classroom and I thought she was happy and funny.
