Dear Parents and Carers

We were treated to an awesome performance by our Pre-Primary students at assembly this morning. They showed off their reading, speaking and craft skills though sharing with us a favourite story they had been reading. Congratulations to the staff and students for an amazing year of learning – these children are so ready to join the ‘big school’ next year.

Congratulations to this year’s award winners:

Composite Classes

At East Victoria Park Primary School, we compile our classes in such a way that there is a range of abilities in all classes. There is no benefit, or disadvantage, to students in a straight class as opposed to a composite class. We are funded on a per student basis, not per year level, therefore our decision to have composite classes for some year levels is based purely on the numbers in any given year level. We believe that it is all about the student taking advantage of the many opportunities offered at this amazing school, regardless of being in a composite or straight class. As a general rule we try not to put students in a composite class for two years in a row.

Year 6 Graduation Reminder

This important event on the school calendar is coming up on Tuesday 6 December at 9am in the Undercover Area. Year 6 parents, if you have not already done so please get your RSVP in as soon as possible. Year 6 students need to be dressed in their leaver’s shirts and royal blue (plain) school shorts or skort. Please be advised that younger siblings are invited to accompany their parents to the graduation. Please drop them back to their classes after the completion of the graduation ceremony. Parking continues to be a problem for us and we make the following suggestions:

  • If at all possible, walk to school
  • Park on the basketball court – accessed via Mint Street Car Park
  • Park on Banks Street and walk over.

Not Returning to EVPPS Next Year

Thank you to those families that have advised us that they are not returning in 2023. If you are leaving the school and haven’t let us know, could you please advise our School Officer, Mrs Ally Perry, via email ally.perry@education.wa.edu.au or by phone on 6228 0700.

Kind regards
