Thank you
As we come to the end of another vibrant term, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone in our school community for your ongoing support and contributions. It has been a successful and enriching term, and this would not have been possible without the collective efforts of our staff, students, and families. Thank you to those who volunteered their time for our off-site events such as excursions and the sports gala, as well as those who supported on-site events like our Working Bee and the ever-popular Japanese Café, Prep Cultural Day. A very special thanks to our dedicated Parents and Friends Club, who have worked tirelessly to organise a number of fundraising events throughout the term, including our cake stall, sausage sizzles, and special celebrations like Tanabata, Children’s Day, and Grandparents and Special Persons Day. Your involvement truly brings our school community to life. Of course, I must also thank our wonderful students, who continue to amaze us every day with their enthusiasm, creativity, and positive attitude. We are incredibly proud to see them consistently demonstrate our School Values and strive for excellence across all areas—from academics and the arts to science and sport. A special shout out to our Prep students who have now completed their very first semester of school! We can’t wait to celebrate their 100th Day of school early next term.
I wish all our families a safe, relaxing, and well-deserved break.
楽しい行事がたくさん詰まった２学期も終わりを迎えようとしています。今学期を通して、サポートをしてくださったコミュニティの皆様にお礼を申し上げます。遠足やスポーツガラなどの校外活動、また日本カフェやカルチュラルデーなどの校内活動へのご協力も大変ありがとうございました。数々の募金活動を企画・実行してくださったParents and Friends Clubのメンバーの方々にもお礼を申し上げます。ケーキストールやソーセージ販売、子供の日や七夕のお祝い、またGrandparents and Special Persons Dayのモーニングティーの準備など、たくさんイベントのサポートをしてくださりありがとうございました。私たちのコミュニティで一番大切な生徒たち。彼らにもお礼の言葉を送ります。毎日校訓に沿った態度で学校生活を送り、学習面のみならず、アート、サイエンス、スポーツなど色々な分野で頑張りましたね！また、プレップの生徒たちは学校での最初の半年を終えようとしています。来学期に「プレップ１００日目」を一緒にお祝いするのを楽しみにしています。
それでは、安全で楽しいホリデーをお過ごしください。
Grandparents and Special Persons Day
This term we had the absolute pleasure of welcoming nearly 200 guests to our school for Grandparents and Special Persons Day. It was heart-warming to see so many family members join us and to witness the joy and pride on our students’ faces as they shared their classroom learning. These special moments really highlight the strong sense of community we are so fortunate to have at our school. A big thank you to Okano Sensei and Miss Pyrcz for organising a fantastic performance from the CPS Choir, as well as both Dance Club groups—your hard work and dedication truly made the event memorable. 先日のGrandparents and Specialpersons Dayでは、２００人近いゲストをお迎えしました。生徒たちの学校生活を日頃目にする機会のないご親戚やお友達の皆様に、教室での様子をご覧いただけることができ、大変嬉しく思います。コーラス部やダンスクラブの生徒たちによるパフォーマンスも楽しんでいだたけました。岡野先生、パーチ先生、ありがとうございました！
School Wide Positive Behaviour Support – School Values Survey
Thank you to all families who completed our recent School Values Survey. Your input is incredibly valuable as we continue to refine and strengthen our School Wide Positive Behaviour Support framework. We have also conducted the same survey with our staff and have since shortlisted a set of core values, which have now been shared with our students. Over the coming days, students will be voting in their classrooms to help finalise the values that will guide our school community moving forward. We look forward to announcing our updated School Values early next term!
School Wide Positive Behaviour Supportの一環で、２週間前にSchool Valuesのアンケートを取りました。CPSの教職員も同じアンケートに答え、保護者と職員の声をもとにリストにあるヴァリューを絞りました。現在生徒たちにどのヴァリューを校訓に取り入れるかを聞いているところです。近日中にアップデートされた校訓をシェアできることを楽しみにしています。
