Parents Involvement at the School

Parents are welcome at the school and the assistance that you can give is invaluable.

Parents are welcome to become involved in a wide range of activities which include:

Joining the Governing Council and the various sub-committees

Assisting teachers with various teaching programs such as:

  • Hearing children read
  • Library assistance
  • Helping out with excursions

Volunteers need to report to the front office to sign in and sign out and collect an identification badge.

School Uniform

Echunga Primary School colours are NAVY AND YELLOW with a small screen printed logo of “Echunga Primary School” (from The Uniform Shop) to be on all T-shirts and windcheaters.

All students are encouraged to wear our uniform.

The wearing of the school uniform has many advantages which are as follows:

  • To show pride in the school you attend
  • To promote your school
  • For safety on excursions
  • For corresponding colours in school photos
  • The elimination of the competition of wearing brand name clothing
  • Hassle free mornings for parents when it is time to decide what to wear to school.
