Dear Parents & Carers,

Welcome back to Term 2 and a special warm welcome to all of our new families who have joined Parramatta East PS in the last week. Our students have returned excited and happy to learn this term to much smaller class sizes. As you are aware due to the building upgrade we have had some changes to our school staffing entitlement allowing us to form 3 additional classes for the rest of the year. Below is a list of updated classes and staff at PEPS for 2025. Mrs Miller is currently on leave and I have the pleasure as relieving Principal for the term.

Many students have had the opportunity to have a dental or vision screener this week at our school. The services will provide you with feedback if your child further attention on their teeth or eyes. You may have noticed the mobile van located in the asphalt.

Thank you to our P & C for organising the BBQ on Election Day and for organising the Mother’s Day stall today at school. I’m sure our mums will enjoy all the special gifts they receive on Sunday. I would like to wish all mums a very Happy Mother’s Day for Sunday.

We have another busy term ahead of us with Years 3-6 Cross Country next Wednesday and Walk Safely to School Day next Friday, just to name a few events that are happening in the coming weeks.

As we head into the cooler months, please ensure that all students are wearing the correct school uniform for Terms 2 & 3.
