Issue 12 - 24/07/2026

A big welcome back to term 3. 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 Friendly Reminder for Parents and Carers

We kindly remind families to avoid approaching teachers for information sharing just before or during class time. At Evatt Primary School, we value every minute of learning, and it’s important that teaching time remains uninterrupted.

If you need to pass on a message, please do so through the front office. If you'd like to have a longer conversation with your child’s teacher, you're very welcome to arrange a meeting, either by emailing the teacher directly or contacting the front office to book a time.

Thank you for your ongoing support in helping us prioritise learning.
