A huge thank you to our dedicated educators for everything they do for our students.

🌈 COLOUR RUN – A HUGE TERM 4 HIGHLIGHT!

This year’s Colour Run was a bright, messy, joy-filled day! Students, staff, and families joined in for an unforgettable event — especially the sliming of our two vice principals, which was a crowd favourite!

Thanks to the incredible support of our school community, we raised:

💰 GRAND TOTAL RAISED:

$24,420.80

After event costs, the final amount going directly back into the school is:

🏆 FINAL TOTAL:

$17,094.56

All funds raised will help support new playground and grounds improvements.

🎃 HALLOWEEN DISCO – A Spook-tacular Night!

Our Halloween Disco lit up the hall with awesome costumes, dancing, and lots of fun!

The event raised $2,850 for the school.

A huge thank you to Janice Dunn Estate Agents for their generous sponsorship, which allowed us to provide:

💙 Join the PFA in 2026! We Need You!

As we prepare for an exciting new year, we’re looking for fresh faces and new energy to join the CSPS PFA in 2026!

If you’ve ever thought about getting involved, now is the perfect time to step in and help shape another amazing year of events for our school.

We have two ways you can be part of the team, depending on your availability:

🗳 PFA AGM Roles (Regular Commitment Each Term)

These positions are elected at our AGM and require a consistent commitment across the school year.

Perfect for those who want to be part of planning, organising, and helping to drive the direction of PFA events and fundraising in 2026.

🤝 PFA Event Volunteers (Flexible – Opt In / Opt Out)

If you’d like to help without a long-term commitment, this is for you!

Choose the events you’d like to support — help when you can, skip when you can’t.

Every bit of assistance helps make our events run smoothly.

✔️ Requirements for All PFA Volunteers

To ensure the safety and wellbeing of our school community, all PFA members and volunteers must have:

A valid Working With Children Check (WWCC)
Completion of the CSPS School Safety & Evacuation Online Module

The induction is quick and essential — it ensures everyone understands emergency procedures, evacuation points, and safety expectations while onsite.

🥣 Breakfast Club – Volunteers Needed!

Breakfast Club runs every Thursday and Friday from 8:30am in the student kitchen and provides a delicious, nutritious start to the day for our students.

We are looking for volunteers to help set up, serve, and pack up each week. Even just 30 minutes of your time makes a huge difference to our school community.

If you can help, please reach out via our Facebook page or speak with a PFA member.

🤝 Can You Help?

The PFA works hard to bring you a fun calendar of events and fundraisers – but we can’t do it without you!

We’re always looking for:

Prize donations 🎁
Local talents and services like bakers 🎂, kids’ party hosts 🎈, lawn mowing, hairdressing ✂️, tutoring 📚, and more!

Your contributions – big or small – make a huge difference. Plus, we’ll give your business a shoutout on our Facebook page to show our gratitude and support your work.
