Evatt (Raider) Mascots Storm Friday Assembly
This morning our beloved Evatt Primary mascots stormed into Friday assembly decked out in their Raiders colours, bringing a burst of energy and excitement! They had the whole school community echoing with a booming Viking clap, getting everyone pumped for the big game tomorrow night. Watch the video here!
The fun didn’t stop there, our mascots also stuck around to help hand out this week’s Flying High awards.
What a fun way to kick off our Friday. GO THE RAIDERS!

Floriade Excursion - Important Information
We are very excited about our upcoming whole school excursion to Floriade on Monday. A big thank you to our P&C for funding this wonderful opportunity for our students.
To help make the day a success, please note the following:
Students should bring a packed lunch, drink bottle, and hat.
Please apply sunscreen before coming to school. Sunscreen will also be available for students on the day.
Students will not need any money. There will be no opportunity to buy items. We also ask that if parents are attending Floriade, please do not purchase food or gifts for your child during the excursion.
We kindly ask parents onsite to allow children to enjoy the visit with their class, unless prior arrangements have been made with the school.
Parents/carers who wish to take their child home directly from Floriade must sign them out with their child’s teacher before leaving.
Please do not take whole-class or group photos of students if you are onsite.
Thank you for your support in ensuring this is a safe and enjoyable whole school excursion for everyone.
