December 3^rd – International Day of People with Disabilities

Everyone should feel included, safe, and accepted in their community. International Day of People with Disabilities shines a light on this focus. In Australia, there are over 4 million people with a disability and many more that are not recognised. Disabilities come in all forms and affect individuals in a myriad of ways. Ivanhoe East Primary feels very strongly about bringing equity, respect, and acceptance to all those who walk through our gates. On this date, we reflect on how we are creating a more inclusive and safer environment for those with disabilities, while simultaneously thinking about where to next. IEPS is proud of the work we do to ensure every one of our students is supported socially, emotionally, and academically.

2024 Parent Payment Contributions

Ivanhoe East Primary School is looking forward to another great year of teaching and learning and we would like to give an update on Ivanhoe East Primary School’s voluntary financial contributions for 2024.

To provide educational programs of a ‘higher’ standard and quality expected by our community, we require funds to support this. We use voluntary contributions from families to support us in providing better quality materials, equipment, resources, enhanced programs, and opportunities beyond the standard Victorian curriculum.

To date, we have been most fortunate that our school community values the high standard of resourcing that payment of these contributions provides and has willingly contributed.

The ongoing support of our families ensures that our school can offer the best possible education and support for our students. We want to thank you for all your support, this has made a huge difference to our school and the resources/programs we can offer such as:-

• High-quality literacy and numeracy resources both hands-on and digital that enhance our pedagogical approach in teaching to each student's point of need.
• High-quality Assessment and Data analysis tools that allow for timely feedback and inform our practice to meet the needs of each student.
• Providing unique opportunities for our students through Musical performances, Art Shows, Physical Educational opportunities and resources, Environmental Clubs, and well-resourced high-quality specialist programs.
• School Nurses that equate to a full-time equivalent Nurse on-site.
• Supporting our School Wide Positive Behaviour Framework through Social and emotional tracking tools and resources.
• Technology through iPads and Laptops which are available for all students.
• Well maintained Grounds and Buildings.
• Well resourced and staffed Library.
• All stationery required by your child throughout the year. This will be delivered to the school. No further book pack items will be required to be purchased.

Further information on Parent contributions will come out next week via the bulletin and Compass. This will include an itemised list of curriculum, non-curriculum, and extra curricular contributions. Please note that we won’t be accepting contributions until January 1^st 2024, and a reminder will be sent to all parents at this time.

If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

LOTE at IEPS in 2024 (Applicable to all 2024 IEPS families)

Our current Mandarin teacher, Astrid Tao has been successful in a recruitment process for a high school for 2024. Therefore, we asked our community to vote on the language they would like in 2024.

We will be conducting a recruitment process to find a suitable candidate for French, however if this is unsuccessful, we will continue with Mandarin until we find a suitable applicant to start French at IEPS.
