There was very little notice of inter-school activities resuming ahead of the start of Term 2, but this did not deter the staff who were most eager after a one-year hiatus to welcome neighbouring schools back to campus. They swiftly went about populating the calendar with fixtures and events. The campus was once again abuzz...
Change and the opportunities it brings Epworth started this year with the new leadership changes announced by the Board of Governors in2020. As a leadership team, we know the importance of continual communication and co-operation with each other. Keeping this as a guide, it was agreed that I attempt a new newsletter. The purpose of...
It feels like just the other day that we were compiling the newsletter for the first half of Term 1, which surely reflects the agreeably productive and eventful second half of Term 1! I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff and pupils for their efforts in creating a very memorable...
It has been wonderful having the children attend assembly this term on Monday mornings (in person) as it gives us the opportunity to hand out special recognitions, ‘class of the week’ awards and congratulate our pupils on their commitments and efforts in sport and performing arts activities.

It certainly feels like we have had to wait a very long time to officially open our school doors to our Grades R – 7 pupils. What an amazing, energized feeling it is to have our children back in the classrooms and on our fields. It is with cautious excitement that we welcome the start...
