2024 Prep Enrolments (CLOSED)
If you have missed the cut off and are still wanting to enrol, please contact Carmel Sitilidis (Enrolment officer) immediatley via the front office or by phone 9499 2171 and/or email carmel.sitilidis@education.vic.gov.au.
We have currently implemented a waitlist as we have reached our capacity for 2024. Any future enquiries will be placed onto this waitlist in priority of receiving them.
The Parent / Caregiver / Guardian Opinion Survey
So far we have had 15% of our community respond to The Parent / Caregiver / Guardian Opinion Survey. As this is the annual Department survey that assists us in gaining an understanding of families’ perceptions of school climate,
student behavior, and student engagement, we encourage all families to participate. Our school will use the survey results to help inform and direct future school planning and improvement strategies. Therefore, the more responses we receive,
the more that can be celebrated and consequent effective forward planning can occur.
All families would've received an email from carmel.sitilidis@education.vic.gov.au on Monday 7th of August with their Individual Parent Log In details and information on how to complete the survey. The survey only takes 15-20 minutes to complete. If you did not receive the email with your log in, please contact Carmel directly.
This survey closes on Friday 8th September. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you would like more information.
Fathers/Special Persons Day Stall
A reminder that next Friday 1st September is our Fathers/Special Persons Day stall at school. The students will have allocated time to engage with the items that will be on sale. We ask that you speak with your child about this and allocate a small amount of money for them to purchase goods on Friday.
Banyule Council Walk/Scoot/Ride Campaign
We are excited to announce that IEPS will be participating in the walk, ride and scoot to school program. Throughout this program we strive to achieve students becoming more active in the way they arrive at school. This program has begun and we look forward to it running over the next few weeks. Like last year we are tracking the amount that each student is riding/walking/scooting to school and promoting some healthy competition between classes.
Let’s hope we have some nice sunny mornings and we see even more families walking/riding/scooting to school.
The Disco is coming up soon, and as it is a Parent Run event we are calling out for volunteers to assist on the night in various roles:
- Front Desk
- Chill Out room
- Dance Floor
- Security
- Tidy Up
We need most of these roles filled for both the JUNIOR and SENIOR disco, so please add your details via the following link and I'll be in touch closer to the day with further details.

Many thanks in advance, with your help we can ensure the Disco is an Annual Event!
Canteen
At IEPS we are very fortunate to have a canteen onsite. For our canteen to remain open we depend heavily on parents for support.
As our way of saying thank you we are offering a FREE LUNCH (for your child) to any parent that volunteers their time to help keep the canteen running.
Volunteers: email your child’s order before 8.45 am on the day you are volunteering, and Kim will add it to the list and your child will receive a free lunch item. Her email address is Kim.Hall@education.vic.gov.au
Attached is the Canteen Roster

Assembly Update
As mentioned earlier in the term we have moved to fortnighly onsite assemblies this term.
This week there will be an episode of IEPS news released to our community on Friday through our Compass app.
Infectious Disease
We ask that if your child is symptomatic you do not send them to school and we thank you in advance as we acknowledge that this can be challenging, especially for working parents.
If your child does test positive for COVID-19 and/or any other infectious disease we ask you contact the school via email Ivanhoe.east.ps@education.vic.gov.au and it is recommended that they isolate for a minimum of 5 days and not attend school until their symptoms have resolved.
In relation to Covid-19 it is recommended that rapid antigen tests (RATs) are used by students and staff:
- If you have symptoms of COVID-19 infection, no matter how mild
- If you are a household or close contact of someone who has COVID-19
- If you are a social contact of someone who has COVID-19.
Rapid Antigen Tests are also available from the front office, please don’t hesitate to come in and collect as needed.
Follow Us
A reminder that we now have a community Instagram account, this account is used to connect with our wider community, promote school events and give an insight into our facilities, incursions, excursions, and all of the wonderful teaching & learning that is happening at IEPS. You can follow our movements by networking with us @ivanhoeeastprimaryschool on Instagram.

Ceres Incursion Update
The environment club had a great time collecting data on wildlife found at IEPS, creating an action plan on how to attract more species to the school grounds; testing soil type & acidity/alkalinity; and using results to determine the most suitable plants for the new garden bed outside the Grade 6 space.
There were several learnings from the day and students were very engaged with the practical tasks.
Henry and Charlie thanked Bella and the team at CERES on behalf of IEPS.
Students are very much looking forward to planting the new shrubs/bushes in Term 4.
My School Connect
(Please refer to 'Canteen' listed under the 'Our School' heading on the IEPS website to find the 'My School Connect' link)
The cut off time for ordering online has changed to 9:00am.
To prevent disappointment at lunchtime please keep checking:
• that you have the correct date for the lunch order
• that you check out and pay or your order will not be received by the canteen.
Look out for the Green Thumbs up and a confirmation e-mail
***STUDENTS PURCHASING FROM THE SCHOOL CANTEEN USING CASH***
To avoid disappointment, please do not send your child to school with large notes (over $5) to purchase items from the canteen, as we do not have the change to give them. Also, please ensure your coins are Australian monetary coins and not of international currency.
