Held at the Elwood Sailing Club, the service was a touching, thoughtful, well attended ceremony. Our choir sang beautifully and Maya from 5C spoke proudly about a special family member. Each year I am over whelmed with the communities show of respect for our ANZAC s and this year was no different. Thanks to those who participated in such a memorable service.

The Padres competing in Battle of the Bands Save the date!! The Padres, our resident parent band at EPS will be participating in a Battle of the Bands with four other local primary schools. This is a fundraiser for our schools music programs. This is also a great opportunity to connect with the different parent communities. Tickets cost $12.25 and are on sale at http:// princebandroom.oztix.com.au/?event=85405 Flyer attached for more information. The Padres perform at school functions, community events and you can even book them for your next private function. All the funds they raise from their gigs goes to benefit the music program at EPS. Last year they raised over $5,500. The Padres have enabled the school to purchase many new instruments for our students to use and learn with in their music classes. If you have a moment, drop by the music room and have a look at all the wonderful instruments our students now have access to.
