Humans of IEPS
Calling All Parents! Meet our School Council! A dynamic team of parents and IEPS staff shaping our school's future. They're the stars behind the scenes, setting our school's direction and ensuring every decision benefits our students.
This year, they've wrapped up their final 2023 meeting, and guess what? We're on the lookout for new members to join in February 2024 to reflect the diverse views and interests in the school.
Intrigued? Want to make a difference in our school community? Chat with Tom Boyle or any of our council members to discover more about this opportunity and what it entails ✨

Lost property has piled up high again this term. Miss Silvestro and the year 6 students have sorted out items with names and will deliver to classrooms over the coming days. There are many jumpers and jackets on the lost property table without names. If your child has lost anything this term, please make the time to look through the lost property ASAP.
Anything unnamed on the lost property table on December 18 will be taken for a wash and sent to the 2nd Hand Uniform shop.
Thanks to everyone for your continued support.
2024 Extra–Curricular Activities at IEPS
We thank those of you (close to 100 of you) who showed an EOI in the following extra-curricular activities to be provided at IEPS in 2024. We have recently been engaging with Kids Unlimited and have allocated 4 extra-curricular activities to be offered at IEPS. These include Chess and Dance on Tuesday and Drama and Robotics on Thursday. We hope these extra-curricular activities provide you with further opportunities for your child to engage with learning after school.
2024 Parent Payment Contributions
Parent Payment contributions were sent directly to families through Compass today. This included an itemised list of curriculum, non-curriculum, and extra-curricular contributions and information on how to make payment and information for financial support.
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.

Farewell to the following staff
Mrs. Sally Calvert is retiring at the end of 2023. Sally has been a wonderful staff member who is highly regarded by students, parents and staff. Sally has had a long and distinguished career as a teacher. We thank Sally for her commitment and dedication to the profession and all the students she taught over her time.
Mrs. Fran Gould is moving to Rosanna Golf Links Primary School in 2024. Fran has been an integral part of the IEPS teaching community and has led many areas across the school, most recently was the Year 4 Team Leader and Digital Technologies Coordinator. We wish Fran all the best with her new role at Rosanna Golf Links and we look forward to continuing to work together as network colleagues.
Kmart Wishing Tree
This term, the PAG representatives decided to choose a fundraiser that meant that other kids their age would not go without a Christmas time. They have chosen The Kmart Wishing Tree Appeal.
The Kmart Wishing Tree Appeal aims to create a brighter Christmas for Aussies experiencing hardship or crisis, through the delivery of gifts to those in need nationwide, including communities impacted by the cost of living. This fundraiser will run from Monday 20th of November until today, Wednesday the 13th of December. Some suggested gifts you can choose from:
- Books
- School supplies
- Headphones
- Everyday essentials for all ages, such as socks, bed linen and bath towels
- Gift cards
There will be a Christmas tree set up in the year 6 space where you can bring your unwrapped presents and place them under the tree either before school 8:45-8:55am or after school 3:30-3:40pm.
Procedure for Collecting Students During School Hours
On the back of a recent bulletin post, please find below a flowchart for our new and improved system of collecting students during school hours.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation with this and we hope this will lead to a timelier and more efficient process for parents and less of a load on our front office as well as not impact teaching time. I also ask that while we are transitioning to this new procedure you please remain respectful to our admin staff.
