What's Happening at CHPS

Food For Families

As Christmas approaches, we will be running our annual Food For Families drive again. Boxes are set up in the office foyer for those wishing to donate non perishable good for families in need.

CHPS Annual Soap Box Derby 2024

As per tradition, we will run our annual Soap Box Derby on our last school day (Friday, December 20th). 

Preps, Juniors, and Middles will compete in the soap box derby, creating a cardboard vehicle at home that fits two people. In pairs, students will complete the soap box derby track jumping and weaving through and over different obstacles and swapping spots halfway. If using two boxes, they must be directly attached to each other.

Seniors will compete in the Billy Cart Race, creating a billy cart with wheels that can be pushed (not automatically) through the Billy Cart Track. Students must wear helmets.

This is an optional event to participate in for students. Sports captains will go around each class and ask who participates in week 8.

For each cohort, Preps, Juniors, Middles, and Seniors, there will be a girls' category and a mixed category. The winners will receive a medal, and all others will receive a participation certificate.

Families are encouraged to come along and spectate on the day, as we finish off a big 2024 with lots of fun and laughter. 

All boxes must go home with students please 🙂

If you have any questions ask the classroom teacher or email jarrod.butcher@education.vic.gov.au

Library

Scholastic Book Club – Thanks for your patience with Scholastic Book Club orders. These have now been distributed to student’s classrooms to be handed out by their teacher today. Unfortunately Scholastic have misplaced (not delivered) two boxes of our order. We have emailed any families whose order has been held up. If you haven’t received an email from the library and you still believe you have an outstanding order please email Sue at susan.offer@education.vic.gov.au with a copy of your order so she is able to follow it up. If you placed a ‘gift’ order you will receive an email letting you know this is at the office for collection. 

Borrowing – We will shortly commence our library stocktake so student borrowing will finish this week. All books need to be returned to the library next week so please remind your child to return their library books during their library session. 

Thanks

Sue and Jess in the Library
