Assistant Principal's Report
Georgia Despotellis
Term 3 has been an incredibly busy and exciting one! We've enjoyed a wonderful Father’s Day/Special Person’s Breakfast and a fantastic school concert. These events wouldn't be possible without the incredible support of our school community – from our amazing parents who generously gave their time and energy, to our dedicated teachers and enthusiastic students. A heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you. It's truly a privilege to be part of such a vibrant and supportive community.
We’re looking forward to finishing the term on a high note with Footy Colours Day and a sizzling sausage sizzle!
Please see photos of todays Father's Day/Special Person's Breakfast. A special thank you to Team Kids for organising the craft table.
2025 Parent/Caregiver/Guardian Opinion Survey (PCGOS)
Thank you to the families who completed the 2025 Parent/Caregiver/Guardian Opinion Survey (PCGOS) which closes at the end of term. If you haven’t had the opportunity to complete it, there is still time. Your feedback is valuable to us.
Wellbeing
To further enhance our Wellbeing Program at CSPS, members of the Wellbeing Team will be working across the school to support the development of students’ social and emotional learning.
Topics include Resilience, Personal Strengths, Positive Self-Talk, Positive Coping Strategies, Navigating Friendships and understanding expected versus unexpected behaviours. In addition to classroom lessons, students may occasionally be asked to complete a short take-home activity with their parent/carer. These activities are designed to encourage discussion and reinforce the skills and strategies being explored in the sessions.
The Wellbeing Team will commence working with the Year 1 students.
With the term break fast approaching and the first signs of spring in the air, I encourage everyone to take some time to get outside and enjoy the beauty of nature.
Some of the benefits of spending time outdoors for children (and adults) are:
- Increased confidence and self esteem
- Improved creativity and imagination
- Development of responsibility
- Provides stimulation
- Increased physical activity
- Development of thinking skills
- Reduced level of stress, anxiety and fatigue
Research shows that playing outside facilitates smarter, happier, attentive and less anxious children than those who spend most of the time indoors.
Encore Performance
The students enjoyed a special encore performance from our teachers on Wednesday of their dance from the concert. The teachers performed to a very enthusiastic and loud audience.
