From the Principal
Welcome back to Term 4
It is great to see the students, parents and staff bouncing straight back into school for Term Four. We are looking forward to a busy term of learning with many exciting extra curricula activities happening throughout the term.
We have many exciting events to look forward to this term including:
- Pizza lunch
- Slime Fun Run Fundraiser
- Year 3 & 4 Camp
- Year 4 Bike Education Program
- Foundation – Year 6 Swimming Programs
- Music Soiree
- Year 6 Sports Round Robin Day
- Year 5 & 6 Hip Hop Incursion
- Whole School Community Christmas Concert
- Year 6 Graduation and Awards ceremony
- Meet 2023 Classmates and teacher
We have commenced our Foundation – Year 4 Swimming Program at Monash Aquatic Centre and this has started extremely well. This program will continue until Friday, 14th October.Our ‘Swimming / Water Safety Program’ for the Year 5 & 6 students will be held later in the term.
A highlight of Term Four is always the Year Six graduation and this is a very memorable event for all involved. We would like to thank the parents and staff that are working behind the scenes to ensure this event is one to remember.
We look forward to a great term.

The Department of Education and Training has asked schools to itemise the payments (similar to what we did this year). The cost for Parent Payments is discussed and approved at our Finance and School Council meetings prior to being announced to the school community.
Are you leaving CRPS in 2023?
We ask that you let us know if you are moving or have enrolled to another school in 2023. We require this information as soon as possible to establish grade structures for the start of the new school year. If your child is currently in Grades Foundation – 5 and will not be at Camelot Rise in 2023 please notify the school office in writing as soon as possible.

Matt and Ben
