WEEKLY REFLECTION
The Leadership team has been offsite at the Bayside Principals’ Conference for the past two days. This was an opportunity to engage with primary, secondary, and specialist schools across the Bayside networks to discuss pertinent themes including Artificial Intelligence in education, Indigenous perspectives, and leading teacher practice and improvement.
Back at EPS, a highlight of the week was the Bio Eyes incursion for selected Year 3 students. The Victorian High Abilities Program (VHAP) is an enrichment program that addresses the needs of high-ability students to engage with challenging material. Today our students studied zebra fish and were informed about why scientists use them for research.
