A friendly reminder that if you have concerns about students other than your own at Evatt Primary School, please let the school know directly.
We have strong student support processes in place, and if you feel there are issues, we encourage you to inform us so we can follow up and work towards a resolution. It is not appropriate for parents to approach other children or other parents to resolve school-based matters.
Any concerns can be shared with us via info@evattps.act.edu.au or by calling (02) 6142 1640.
A reminder to all students riding, scootering, or skating to and from school that helmets are compulsory.
Over the past few weeks, we have noticed some students arriving at school without helmets. This is a significant safety concern, and we will be contacting parents/carers if students are travelling to school without one.
Thank you for helping us keep our students safe.
As you know, breaktime soccer is a big deal at Evatt Primary School. Over the past few weeks, with the significantly wet weather, our purpose-built soccer pitch has turned into a bit of a mud pit.
Congratulations to all our students who have adapted so well to playing on the top oval while we give our pitch time to dry out. Your flexibility and enthusiasm keep the Evatt soccer spirit alive!
Parents and families are invited to attend the next P&C meeting on Tuesday 12/8 at 6.30pm in The Nest
We would love to see lots of parents and carers in attendance.
A timely reminder that it's hats back on. It's great to see nearly all students with hats for playtime break out PE. Please make sure your child has a sun safe hat with their name on their hat.
