Leadership Report 

Dear CPS Community, 

Today we held our fabulous Easter Bonnet Parade, the designs are getting bigger and better each year, one student from each class was awarded an Easter Bonnet prize for the most creative bonnet. Thank you to all who took part and congratulations to all the winners of the colouring in competition and raffle prizes. Read on in this newsletter to see the wonderful photos. 

As the term draws to an end, some of the many events and highlights that occurred across the Term 1 have been Year 5 & 6 Swimming, 3 – 6 Athletics Day at Meadow Glen Athletics Track, Whole School Cross Country Day, Interschool Sports, Summer Sports Gala Day, Open Classrooms, Meet the Teacher, NAPLAN, Dream and Lead Conference, Harmony Day and I’m sure there are a few other things that I have missed.

Improving student engagement in learning has been one of our goals, with a Key Improvement Strategy focusing on Positive climate for learning through developing and embedding a whole school approach to activating student voice and agency in learning. This is reflected through establishing and prioritising student voice and agency through our Junior School Council members. Today our JSC have been selected. At this stage, this information is confidential, the families of the successful applicants will be contacted the first week back of Term 2. We will be officially announcing the successful students to the whole school community at the first assembly of Term 2 this will be held on Thursday 23rd April.

Our school will have a Curriculum Day on Friday 24th April students will not be required at school on this day. 

Before we finish today please take time to look at our lost property we have a large number of items including jumpers, hats, drink bottles etc. If your child is missing anything, please take the time to view our lost property in our office foyer. Any named items will be returned to the classroom, unnamed items are available for collection, unclaimed items will be donated. 

We say goodbye to Mr Perkins, Ms Muna, Mrs Watts and Mr Martin who are all moving on from CPS. We thank them all for serving our school community and wish them all the best in their future endeavours. 

We are currently advertising positions for a Performing Arts, Physical Education and Visual Arts teacher to join our team at CPS. We have cover in place whilst the recruitment process is underway to ensure that our specialist classes and programs continue as normal. We will make announcements to the community once we have completed the recruitment process.

We wish everyone a safe, relaxing and enjoyable Easter break!
