Pyjama Disco a huge success!
Saturday might have been the shortest night of the year but it was also the most fun at CPS! Over 400 students kids attended across the two sessions and they all looked super cute, cozy and comfy in their snazzy PJs.
Our organisers are still recovering so we’ll do a full recap (with plenty of pictures of the kiddos) in the next newsletter but for now, a huge thank you to the 30+ parent volunteers (just some of who are pictured here) who without whom disco simply would not have been possible. You know who you are - thank you!
Last Popcorn Friday for Term 2
This Friday 27th June will be the last Popcorn Friday for the term and it’s Grades 3-6 turn this week. There will be no popcorn on the final day of term (due to the early finish). Popcorn Friday’s will return again next term.
Big thank you to Mandi and her wonderful helpers Lavanya & Poonam who have been popping all that popcorn each Friday!
CPS 2025 Pie Drive
The PFA is once again organising a winter pie drive fundraiser through Tony’s Pies of Essendon - perfect easy family meals for these cold winter nights! A range of freshly baked goods will be available including pies, sausage rolls, quiches and pasties.
Orders will open before the end of school and close on Monday 28th July. Items will be delivered fresh to the school on Thursday 31st July, so you can simply eat them straight away or freeze for quick easy dinners later on. More info via Compass soon.
Book Club orders arriving soon!
Thank you to all the families who ordered from our Term 2 Book Scholastic Book Club catalogue. Orders should arrive at the school this week but unfortunately the exact timing is beyond our control. Hopefully it will definitely be before the end of term and we promise we will send them home as quickly as we can!
CPS beanies to be purchased via office next term
Our CPS beanies have sold like hotcakes this term, with almost 350 sold so far. They will continue to be available for purchase via Qkr! until the end of this term, with a final classroom delivery next week.
From the start of next term, beanies will be available for purchase from the office (price remains the same at $15). They will return to Qkr! ahead of winter next year.
Second Hand Uniform Stall
The Second Hand Uniform Stall continues to be open each Friday 3:15-3:45 pm, and the day/time will remain the same in Term 3 too. Reminder that the stall does not currently need any more donations of track-pants, leggings, shorts or skorts (all other uniform items gratefully accepted). Finally a big thank you to Rebecca Sullivan for taking over the running of the stall and to Poonam who has helped out most weeks.
