Easter Raffle drawn tomorrow!
Thank you to everyone who has supported CPS’ 2026 Easter Raffle. We had more than 3000 individual tickets purchased - incredible!
A huge thank you to everyone who purchased tickets and/or donated goodies for the delicious raffle prizes. Thank you especially to those parents who have up their Tuesday nights to wrap all the prizes and the talented Alyssa from 6C who created this year’s raffle logo. Finally a special shout out to those organising this much loved CPS event behind the scenes - Candice Hall, Bec Reilly & Philadelphia Jackman.
This year’s raffle will be drawn at the Whole School Assembly tomorrow (Thursday 2nd April) starting at 1:40pm. Parents and carers are most welcome to come along and join in the fun. Good luck!
Reminder to update Qkr details
Quick reminder to please update your child/ren’s Qkr profiles with their correct year level and class for 2026. Otherwise those all important lunch orders will end up in the wrong classroom!
CPS Mother’s Day Lunch on Friday 8th May
The PFA is excited to present the 2026 CPS Mother’s Day Lunch! After the success of last year’s sell-out event, it will again be hosted at Grazia Restaurant in Glen Iris.
- 12pm – 4pm, Friday 8th May 2026
- Grazia Restaurant, 159 Burke Road Glen Iris
- Tickets are $80 via Qkr
Tickets are now available for purchase via Qkr, and include a 3-course meal. Full menu will be shared soon but dietary requirements can be accommodated.
Beverages are not included but can be purchased individually (thankfully there will be no hassles trying to split bills this year!)
Beanies back on sale via Qkr
Our awesome CPS beanies are once again on sale via Qkr, just in time for winter! These high-quality beanies can be worn as part of the official CPS school uniform. Not only will they help keep our kids warm this winter but are a great way to show off school pride around the community.
The beanies are one-size-fits-most and are available to order now via Qkr for just $15. Orders will be delivered to classrooms once a week during the first month of Term 2.
