that may be purchased by students to take home to
their dad for Father’s Day.
No food items unless they are purchased individually

fantastic fundraiser for the school. Your support is

Shepparton East Primary School
Parents and Friends.
The new Term 3 lunch order menu was sent
home to all families yesterday. It is also
available on our website and on Compass. If
you are missing your paper copy a replacement
is available at the office.
The new menu commences this Friday 6th
August. A Gluten Free menu is also available
please contact the office if you would like a
paper copy.
Just a reminder that only the bags purchased
through the office ($2.50 a bundle) may be
used for lunch orders. The supermarket variety
are too small and tear easily and will not be
accepted.
Dear Parents,
I have enjoyed my first week back form holidays, seeing the students so settled back in the classrooms and everything running so smoothly. I would like to thank Eva for her hard work while I was away. I have heard only positive things about the way Shepparton East PS moved into remote and flexible learning with such short notice. I would also like to thank all the families for your support during these times.
During my time away we travelled through Queensland and Northern Territory, we went to many beautiful places and really enjoyed spending time together as a family. We had a variety of experiences, from floating down beautiful clear waters at Bitter Springs to watching crocodiles jump on the Adelaide River. Other times we spent just sitting and relaxing and enjoying the environment.

We are still taking enrolments for 2022.
If you know of any families who are considering SEPS for 2022, please pass on this information. Important Prep Transition information has been sent out via Compass to our 2022 Prep parents. The first Prep Transition visit will be on Thursday 9th September from 9am-10.30am.
