Days of Acknowledgement
June 1st – Global Day of Parents (and special adults)
The IEPS staff community understands how much parents and special adults do to help us grow into our best selves. For all parents and special adults who assist us in building a community that fosters to our students, we say thank you. It’s not easy being a parent or special adult, but this job is not something to be forgotten.

Day 1 of School Review Reflection
Yesterday we had our first day of our 3-day school review, with the other two days occurring on Tuesdays over the coming weeks. Yesterday the panel reviewed the school’s 2019 – 2023 strategic plan and throughout this, we unpacked the targets that were set in 2019. I am pleased to say that we have made considerable growth in every area, and met or partially met all targets, which is a great achievement.
Furthermore the panel reflected on the FISO 2.0 domains, this reflection will continue over the coming review days before their final deliberations occur. Initially, they have agreed that the school is either embedding or excelling across these domains, which is a great testament to the hard work that has gone into providing exceptional education to all students at IEPS.
One key area that the panel believed was exceptional was the school’s organisational model, which I have attached as a PDF below. We encourage our community to read through this model, which was shared in our first school bulletin of the year. This model has been further unpacked with the School Council and the Review Panel since then and is a key component of our distributive leadership and highlights the throughlines between different domains and the portfolios that our leadership team oversees and how they all interconnect with each other. Our next step is to upload this to our website with photos of staff to provide further information for our wider community.

Smile Squad six month fluoride varnish visit
The Banyule Community Health Smile Squad team are heading back to our school in term 2 to complete six-monthly fluoride varnish applications for those students who have provided consent. Fluoride varnish applications help make sure students have the best chance of preventing tooth decay, so we’re excited Smile Squad are coming back.
Consent for this fluoride varnish application was provided when students’ initial consent forms were returned. However, if anyone has changed their mind and do not wish to receive a fluoride varnish application, then you can contact Banyule Community Health directly to let them know.
Please contact the Smile Squad team directly on 9450 2000.
Smile Squad fluoride visits are scheduled for the 3/06-7/06 as well as 11/06, 13/06, 20/06, 21/06.
(Please note: Smile Squad runs this program. If you have any enquiries you will need to contact the Smile Squad team. IEPS is providing the venue only and we are not privy to Smile Squad information.)
The Smile Squad team look forward to visiting soon.

Parent Art Committee - Volunteers required
The Northside Parents Battle Of the Bands is back by popular demand for its 2nd year!
https://youtu.be/COcp4dcz9cM?feature=shared
It will be held over two EPIC nights at Northcote’s iconic live music venue, the Northcote Social Club on the 31st July & 8th August, 2024.
To avoid disappointment, get in early and book your tickets as they sold out very quickly last year and are selling out even faster this year.
The Ivanhoe East PS Parents Band “Lost Property" is participating with 8 other local primary schools including Northcote Primary, Brunswick South Primary, Brunswick East Primary, North Melbourne Primary, Westgarth Primary, Fairfield Primary, Wales Street Primary & Preston South Primary.
The ticket sales proceeds are donated back to expand the performing arts/music education programs and help improve facilities for participating schools. It is also a great opportunity to connect with the different school communities and have a lot of fun. All monies will be redistributed pro-rata of parents’ attendance/number of tickets sold by each school.
The real winners are the schools that sell the most tickets! It is a fun night of great music and quality entertainment - legendary if you ask previous crowds!
Head over to @parents_battle_of_the_bands on Instagram and Facebook to see what the fuss is about AND click on the ticket link where you can select your school:
