Welcome Back


Welcome to the first day of school.
We are thrilled to see old friends and make new ones. The Eel Ground School has lots of exciting activities and projects planned for this school year. Keep an eye out for teacher created weblogs and weekly student created podcasts.
As students arrived this morning, everyone could sense that we are going to have an energetic and dedicated school community. The Eel Ground School would like to thank all the parents whose support has been essential in making Eel Ground School a model school. We are confident that we will be able to count on your support again this year.
Good luck to all our students from kindergarten to grade 8. We know you will make us proud.
