Student Leadership
Developing the skills and knowledge to be responsible and effective citizens is the aim of our student leadership program across the school.
The program ensures our students are empowered and engaged, building a sense of belonging and citizenship in a global community.
EEPS has a house system with four houses: Fraser, Mackay, Norman, Bradman. Year 6 school leaders are elected to lead each house.
