Minibeasts
As part of our Inquiry unit on Minibeasts, the Year 1 students used magnifying glasses to explore our Friendship Garden and discover minibeasts living in their natural habitats. Working collaboratively in groups, students used technology to capture their findings during their investigations. They then selected their favourite photo to share with their classmates, celebrating their discoveries and learning together.

It was with much excitement that we introduced this year’s main cast for our 2026 CRPS whole-school production of Disney’s The Little Mermaid Jr to the student body at a recent Assembly.
Congratulations to all the Level 5 and 6 students who participated in the main cast audition and secured a role. We are fortunate to have so many talented students at CRPS who demonstrated their passion and love for the Performing Arts.

Harold the Giraffe
Recently students took part in an engaging health and wellbeing sessions with Life Ed Australia and their much loved mascot, Harold the Giraffe! These sessions were tailored to each year level and focused on important topics such as making healthy choices, building positive relationships, cyber safety and understanding emotions. Through fun, interactive learning experiences (and a visit from Harold), students developed the knowledge and skills they need to stay safe and thrive.
Loom Band lunchtime club
Every Tuesday, second half of lunch, sees many students from Foundation to Year 6 come together to create many a loom band masterpiece!
Special mention today to Eric from Foundation who after persisting for many weeks finally mastered the skill!
Leo from Year 5 was an exceptional helper at pack up time, and Rianna from Foundation also created her first bracelet. Thank you to the wonderful experts who help other people during this time.
John Monash School
Year 5 students Bolen, Elina, Isaac and Jazlyn are enjoying the Little Scientist program at John Monash School. They have been undertaking a task to design and create a support for an egg drop challenge.
The Little Scientists program at John Monash Science School is a STEM extension program for Year 5–6 students from Victorian government schools. Selected students were chosen based on thoughtful responses expressing their interest in attending.
Students take part in four hands-on science sessions at JMSS, exploring areas such as chemistry, engineering, biology, robotics, and physics, with mentoring and support from JMSS students.
Year 3 - 6 Intra-school Athletics 2026
On Wednesday 6th May, students from Years 3-6 attended our annual Intra-school District Athletics Carnival, held at the Bill Sewart Athletics Track.
It was wonderful to see every student giving their best effort in each event while demonstrating outstanding behaviour, sportsmanship, and enthusiasm throughout the day.
Those students who are successful will represent our school at the Gardiners District Athletics Carnival in Term 3 on Wednesday, 16 September.
A sincere thank you to all staff for their support and assistance in making the carnival such a success. I’d also like to thank the parents who generously gave their time to help on the day: Angela G, Alyson S, and Jessica Z.
Thank you,
Mr Stillman
