Deputy Principals

Summer Uniform

As mentioned in stage newsletters, please dress your children in their correct summer uniform. The weather is beginning to get quite hot, and students cannot regulate their bodies well in long pants or shirts. We appreciate your support. 

Recycling Survey

The Solar OC classes have been preparing surveys about recycling for a project to improve the condition of the school in terms of litter. We ask you to fill out this survey with honesty for the betterment of CPS. Your participation will be of great value for our research.

Mia, Eric, Charlotte and Jonny (Survey 1)

This term, the Solar pod is working towards a project which aims to promote our school's recycling program. We want to raise awareness about our school's recycling program and ensure that our students are able to work in a cleaner environment. Your responses will be kept anonymous so please support us and fill out the survey honestly. Thank you for your participation.

Theo, Justin, JJ and Ariel (Survey 2)

Please complete only oneof these surveys:

Here are some pictures of Solar learning about composting with Chris, our amazing school gardener! We learnt a lot about what compost can do for us and we are hoping to also encourage people to compost at school.

Exciting Connections at Chatswood Public School

On Wednesday 30 October, Chatswood Public School was thrilled to host preschool students from Three Little Birds Preschool as part of our ongoing transition to school programs. The pre-schoolers joined our Echidna Pod for engaging literacy activities and story time, allowing them to experience the excitement of “big school” while fostering friendships with our current kindergarten students. Our Echidna students read stories and assisted with drawing and writing, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Everyone agreed the morning was a great success, and we look forward to welcoming our incoming 2025 kindergarteners from Three Little Birds and continuing our partnerships with local preschools.

Supporting the Transition to School Video Series

​Starting school is a very exciting time for children. They’ll meet friends, learn new skills and build relationships with their teachers. Almost 90% of a child’s brain development happens before they turn five years old. Skills and behaviours learnt during the early years can help children to have a smooth start to kindergarten and thr​​oughout life.

​This video series provides practical ideas to help parents, carers, Early Childhood Educators and teachers to support a positive start to school.
