Welcome to the year. What an uplifting and exciting start to the year.

The new Foundation students are definitely a highlight and welcome addition to the CSPS family.
The Year 6 students have been exemplary role models in their leadership and positive behaviour.
We welcome new staff; Miss Monique Tempone Fb, Miss Jessica Cook 1b, Mrs Alicia Papadopoulus 5b, Ms Danielle Curtois (Physical Vibe) and Ms Ruth Clements 1a and Arts.
We welcome back; Mrs Kathy Goodwin 3a and Mrs Clare Bennett 3b.

On Tuesday 28th January, staff were actively engaged in a Curriculum Day that set the tone and focus of the year. The day was extremely productive; ending in a special Build a Burger for the Bushies fundraiser for Victorian Bushfire Appeal.

We look forward to families introducing themselves at the upcoming Meet and Greet on Tuesday 11th and Wednesday 12th February.

Bring on 2020!
