Welcome Back

A big welcome back to term 4. We hope that our students and families managed some quality time together over the break. We have enjoyed hearing the stories from our students over the past few days about the holiday adventures and we look forward to a great term of learning ahead.

A reminder that Early Birds is open from 8.30am every morning in the library. We love seeing families spending quality time together reading a book.

Parent Portal

A reminder that all parents and carers can now access the Parent Portal with the Sentral for Parents app. Download Sentral for Parents for free through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. 

As we transition into 2025, the parent portal will become our main communication platform. This means that over time we will be phasing out Seesaw. 

The Parent Portal is a secure online platform used to share student information between you and your child’s teachers and the school. 

If you’ve already registered, you can download the Sentral for Parents app to receive notifications when new information is available. 

If you haven’t registered for Parent Portal yet, use this Parent Portal access link to log into or create your ACT Digital Account. To access Parent Portal, you will need your access key, you should have received this by email when we launched. 

If you can’t find the email with the access key, please contact the front office team for help at info@evattps.act.edu.au or on 6142 1640.

World Teacher Day

Next Friday 25 October is World Teachers Day. Our P&C has created a form where families can write a message about a teacher or the staff here at EPS.

These messages will be shared to teachers next Friday. If you would like to leave a message, access the form below.

P&C Meeting

A reminder that parents and families are invited to attend the next P&C meeting on Tuesday 22 October, 6.00pm in the library. Come along and hear about what the P&C has planned for the rest of the year and 2025 + share your feedback and ideas.

Polling Venue

Unfortunately, Elections ACT has made the decision for Evatt Primary School NOT to be a polling venue tomorrow for the ACT election. We are obviously disappointed about this as the election day vibe is always great for our school community and a great fundraising opportunity. We hope this will be rectified into the future. You will need to find an alternative venue to vote tomorrow. 

Students not returning in 2025

If your child or children are moving on from Evatt Primary School for 2025 could you please let the school know. This will help us with our planning for next year. Obviously students in year 6 are excluded from this.

Parent/Carer Requests 2025

Our wonderful Evatt teachers will soon start to prepare class groupings for 2025. If you would like to share something to be considered in relation to your child and their placement in a class, could you please send this to michael.hatswell@ed.act.edu.au
