Dear Parents and Carers,
It has been wonderful to see our school build moving ahead so quickly. Each week brings exciting progress, and while this does mean some temporary changes to our daily routines, we know the end result will be worth it.
To help keep everyone in the loop, we are using newsletters, app notifications, and emails to share updates. We kindly ask all families to take the time to read these communications so that you stay across any adjustments to normal operations.
Changes to the use of school toilets
We have noticed some students using the toilets in ways that are not appropriate — meeting up with friends, hanging out, or even having a snack inside. To help keep our school safe and orderly, we’ve made a few adjustments:
- K–2 students are now using the demountable toilets.
- Years 3–6 students will continue using the original toilets.
Teachers are helping by monitoring visits during class time, but we would also appreciate your support. Please have a chat with your child about using the toilets responsibly and reminding them that these spaces are not for playing or socialising.
Athletics Carnival
A very big thank you to Miss Goundar, Miss Palmer, and our dedicated admin staff for quickly reorganising arrangements to make sure everything continues to run smoothly.
Despite being challenged more than once by weather and ground closures, our Athletics Carnival was able to go ahead successfully. Thank you to everyone for your patience and support.
To give you an idea of the complexity of trying to organise our carnival this year the following happened. Notes were sent home on 26 June and 22 July, emails were distributed on 21 July, 23 July, 15 August, 25 August, 27 August, and 29 August, and app notifications were also sent on 21 July, 23 July, 15 August, 18 August, 26 August, 27 August, and 29 August. We are grateful to everyone who made the effort to respond so the event could run smoothly.
Thank you, as always, for working together with us as we manage the excitement of our new build alongside the everyday needs of our school. With your support, we can ensure a positive experience for all of our students.
The P&C team would like to thank all the parents and carers who helped out at the Father’s Day stall last week. We really appreciate you giving up your time to help out – especially those parents who assisted all day! The stall was a great success, with many children selecting fun gifts for their dads and the special people in their lives. We hope it was an enjoyable Father’s Day for all.
Next up, the P&C will be planning the annual PEPS Christmas Raffle! There will be a range of terrific prizes to win. Raffle details will be sent out early next term.

This term in Science, K Gunalung students became mini entomologists, exploring the fascinating world of bugs! They observed real insects, learning about their shapes, colours, and unique features. Inspired by their discoveries, students used clay to create their very own imaginative bugs, carefully designing wings, legs, and antennae. Once complete, each student presented their creation to the class, confidently explaining the special features and functions of their bug. It was wonderful to see their curiosity, creativity, and communication skills shine. The classroom buzzed with excitement as little scientists shared their amazing clay insects!
In the first part of this term, 2 Gunggung focused on developing their narrative-writing skills. We explored key elements such as characterisation, adverbs, dialogue, onomatopoeia, and the power of three using a model text based on "Jack and the Beanstalk".
In the past few weeks, students have been transforming their fantastic narratives into word documents, building both their digital literacy and typing proficiency.
Here are a few writing samples to demonstrate their creativity and to give you a feel for their wonderful prose.
This term, we had a fun excursion in Year 1 exploring biodiversity and creating maps/animals with natures materials.
1 Wirambi has been doing collaborative STEM projects, such as creating the longest paper chain and bridges that can hold toy cars.
In maths, we’ve been learning about 3D shapes.
Congratulations to Dorothy for making PEPS stage finals for public speaking!


























































This term in 5 Baludarri, students have been exploring the features of informative texts and learning how these features make the information more credible.They have been thinking critically about the facts presented to them, examining texts about fascinating animals (some real, some entirely imaginary). Building on this, students have been creating their own extraordinary creatures and writing informative texts about them, using AI to bring their ideas to life.
