Adopt A Plant and help to create a positive future. Last Sunday, 24^th August, 25 students enthusiastically helped to plant out two garden zones near the assembly court. This included two 2009 Prep children. What a great start at ENPS.

School Athletics Day 

Last Friday level 3 and 4 students bused to Willinda Park in Greensborough to participate in the house team competition. It was a very successful day. The children were very excited and tried ever so hard (obviously inspired by the Olympics). Many parents came to watch and assist and we managed to dodge the rain until after lunch when we had a short shower. Congratulations to Julie Francis for coordinating the day and Jeremy Fitzpatrick for preparing the children for their events.

On Wednesday August 6, 2008 our School Captains ~ Jordan Catela, Jack Deer, Nikkita Avromov and Beth Dozzi went to our local politician, MP Steve Herbert’s office for a youth forum. He started off by showing us around his office and then talked about the three levels of Government. The other schools that were at the forum included Eltham, Eltham East, Research and Eltham College. We all talked about the issues that we thought were important to our community. The topics we raised were dog poo on local walking tracks, playgrounds and the state of them, the pollution in our local river and the safety of boom gates. At the end we all enjoyed a BBQ lunch. We would like to give a BIG thanks to Sam Dozzi for taking her own time to take us to the office and back. Overall we had a great day.

Our Environmental Leaders at the Water Learn It Live It Launch:

On Tuesday the 24th of June , a group of our Environmental Leaders travelled to the Melbourne Zoo, Parkville, to represent our school at the launch of the new Water Learn It Live It program. This program is part of the Government initiative - Our Water Our Future. We were one of the schools to be invited, by City West water, to represent the northern suburbs. Despite the fact they had a pupil free day, this keen group were prepared to arrive at school early and present their speeches, slide show and original rap confidently to a crowd of educational and industry representatives. We received a lot of feedback on their impressive presentation skills.
