Wellbeing

Celebrating Wellbeing in 2025

 

As we wrap up the school year, I would like to thank all the staff, students and families for their continual support of wellbeing at CPS.

We are incredibly proud of our students and grateful for the strong partnership with families and the commitment of staff in creating a safe, inclusive and supportive school environment. We look forward to building on this positive momentum in 2026 with further work on School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) and other wellbeing initiatives.

As the holidays begin, we wish all families a joyful, restful break filled with connection, play and time together. I have included below some holiday activity suggestions for families to enjoy over the holiday break.
