On behalf of Epping West Chinese School, we welcome you to the 2024 school year. We extend a particularly warm welcome to those families joining our community this year and hope that you will quickly come to experience the culture of EWCS.
We are looking forward to welcoming the students back on 1 February and trust they are well rested and ready to begin the year ahead.
Sense of community is so evident, where relationships are at the core of our work, and there are many opportunities for parents and teachers to meet throughout the year. We also know that the best student academic and pastoral outcomes are met when there is authentic engagement between schools and families. I encourage you to volunteer to be class parents once a term.
You will find some important information that will assist you as we commence a new school year as well as the 2024 offerings.
