Dress Ups
We are making up a dress up box for the junior children to play with at lunchtimes. If anyone has dress ups not being used we would appreciate the donation.
A message from CBC
Dear Community Members
We are pleased to provide this joint communication to community members of primary schools in our region which details the arrangements between Presentation College Windsor and CBC St Kilda to continue the proud tradition of providing quality Catholic education in our precinct. Both schools will operate as usual in 2020, however 2020 will be PCW’s final year of operation.
In 2021, CBC St Kilda will offer a comprehensive and contemporary educational program for girls and boys for 2021 and beyond. Planning for this transition is well underway. As such, 2021 enrolment applications to CBC for girls and boys are now invited at all year levels. Enrolment information is available on the school’s website. Tours and enrolment information are available by contacting the Registrar Oonagh Caldwell on 9529 6611 or registrar@cbcstkilda.com. For other enquiries, please contact Jenny Knox – jknox@stkilda.com.
In preparation for next year, a Transition Working Party has been formed and is undertaking careful and collaborative planning to ensure arrangements are in place for the continued and seamless provision of high-quality education to students of both PCW and CBC in 2020. As has been the case for many years, senior students of PCW and CBC will continue to share VCE classes across both schools.
In addition, a separate group has convened to undertake planning for CBC in 2021 and beyond as it opens its doors to girls as well as boys. This is a far-reaching, consultative process that will involve extensive research and partnerships with a range of invested groups including Catholic Education Melbourne, Edmund Rice Education Australia, Parish Priest Fr Joe Caddy of St Mary’s Church as well as the schools and their communities.
We trust that this communication provides insight into the work currently being undertaken by both schools to ensure a sustainable future for Catholic education in our precinct.
Yours sincerely
