The start of another school year presents great opportunities to develop positive habits surrounding your child’s schooling. These could include healthy eating and sleeping habits,  or even positive morning routine habits when getting ready for school.

Dear Parents and Carers,

The end of another week, the high temperatures of which have tested us a bit, although I am sure our participants in aquatics enjoyed the opportunities it provided. It has been another good week with the rhythm of the term well under way and a pleasingly high number of commendations being logged (and very few ‘strikes’).

Aussie of the Month

On the topic of commendations, the School has embraced this award which recognises exemplars of the Australian character.

Australia is a truly multi-cultural society. We have welcomed people from every corner of the globe, who now proudly call Australia their home. The spirit of giving everyone a ‘fair go’ is alive and well, and we are fortunate to be exposed to many cultures and traditions.

Dear Parents and Carers,

Camps

Although our website contains all the information regarding fees and associated costs I thought that a reminder of the main camp costs might be helpful. We do seek to assist parents by offering payment plans if needed: please contact Reception if this is an option that you would like to explore.

Dear Parents and Carers,

It was good to welcome our new students to the School on Monday for their morning of induction designed to help their transition into the life of the School. All seemed to go well, and the start of the term for the whole School seems to have gone equally smoothly.

5 ways to keep your child safe on the internet

The internet has grown exponentially in the past decade alone. We can now submit assessments, sign digital permission slips and take quizzes all online. Our children have grown up with the internet and may often be the ones helping us with computer problems, but that doesn’t mean they know what is and isn’t safe online.

Warm greetings from Esperance Anglican Community School, as we start another School year. I hope you have had a relaxing and restorative time over the summer break.

We began the Term with our staff service, held by the shore on Twilight Beach on a glorious summer’s morning, which was followed by a litter-pick of the beach and path.

Principal’s Christmas Message 2018

This is a time of year when, despite the blizzard of commercialism, we pause for thought about the meaning of Christmas for us in the benign surroundings of Esperance.

The concept of stables, wise men and angels may be a bit obscure but stars and clear night skies, when the silence thrums, gives us a sense of what Edmund Sears wrote in his poem It Came Upon the Midnight Clear (and put to music as a carol by Arthur Sullivan of Gilbert and Sullivan fame). Indeed the words of this carol convey the real essence of what Christmas is about, even in the 21st Century.
