Halfway through Term Three already, our year is just zooming by! They say, 'time flies when you are having fun' and we are always having an amazing time at Eleebana Public School. With engaging high-quality classrooms and so many diverse opportunities for our students, it would be hard to beat the quality education that we offer here at your local school.
Enjoy our Endeavour newsletter and celebrate the outstanding achievements of our students!
Our top oval is finally open!
Our school community is celebrating today, our top oval is finally open and in full use. The transformation from the ugly dust-bowl into the beautiful versatile play area we have now is remarkable. With two marked fields, running tracks and landscaped gardens to prevent further erosion, the final product was well worth the wait!
Thanks go to our generous school community, who through our P&C and OOSH, have provided the funds for this fabulous school resource.
Thank you to all those who took the time to complete our uniform survey. The results of this survey will be presented at P&C this evening and we will finalise the uniform change process that began back in 2016.
Wearing our school uniform promotes a sense of belonging for students and creates a positive identity for the school community. School uniforms also contribute to the personal safety of students by allowing easier recognition of students inside the school and in the community. We encourage all our students to wear their uniform with pride.
Walking around our school at the moment you can see the excitement of Spotlight and Production in the air. Dancing, rehearsals, costumes and staging are well underway and we are counting down to the big show. Tickets will be available soon -don’t miss out!
We are currently seeking enrolments for Kindergarten 2020 at Eleebana PS. Our Parent Information session will be held in the School Library on Wednesday 28th August at 6pm.
If you or anyone you know has a child, living in our school intake area, who will attend Kindergarten next year, please contact our Office for enrolment information.
Families should also be aware that the new Department of Education enrolment policy requires schools like Eleebana Public, that are above or near their buffer level (number of enrolment places available) include a 100 point residential address check at enrolment.
Make sure you have marked Friday 1st November on your calendar because our annual Spring Fair is shaping up to be a fantastic family event. With rides, sideshow-alley games, exciting market stalls and delicious food this will be a great afternoon for everyone.
As our major fundraiser for the year, our Spring Fair will help fund much needed literacy resources for our students.
The Be You Family Survey is designed to help gather mental health and wellbeing-related perceptions of all parent and carers at Eleebana Public School. Responses gathered can help highlight what we are doing well, and what we can do better as part of our commitment to our Strategic Direction of Connect, Thrive, Succeed.

Eleebana Public school participated in an excursion to the NSW rugby league Centre of Excellence in Sydney with Floraville and Tanilba Bay. We had to get to Belmont oval before 8:15am. The bus left about 8:30am and got to Sydney around 10:15am. We went in the Centre of Excellence and Mark Hughes was our host.
Eleebana got to play where the NSW Blues trained. We started practising our ball work with Brad Fittler. We learned running, catching and passing while looking. Then we went to draw and pass or show and go a couple of times. We went to practice some kicks like grubbers, chips and bombs. We took off our muddy boots and visited the Blues shed, it was awesome. We got some tasty hot dogs for lunch. It was almost time to go but we had one more thing to do, walk through the tunnel to the ANZ stadium, we got to the stadium took some pictures and walked back.
We got on the bus to go home. It was an amazing day.
