Dear Principals, 

Happy Principals’ Day 2022! 

TheirCare would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the incredible job you do at all your schools. 

At TheirCare we understand the incredible challenges that the last few years have presented to principals and assistant principals. Your hard work, innovation and incredible contribution to the school is greatly admired. 

It’s a pleasure to partner with you and your school community, to facilitate OSHC for your families. 

Today is your day, and I hope you enjoy the well-deserved recognition! 

Best wishes 

Steve Baldock | National Partnership Manager

Student Uniform expectations

The student dress code outlines student dress and appearance expectations.  There has been an increase of Year 5 & 6 students where the length of the tshirt/jumper is longer than the bottom half ie. shorts or skirts.  In fact, some of the students have been altering their uniform appearance once at school and thus parents are not aware.   Can all Year 5 & 6 parents please discuss this with their child/ren.  

If a student breaches the Student Dress Code on a recurring basis, a note will be provided to the student and parents by the classroom teacher. If non-compliance with the dress code becomes a continued occurrence, the Principal Class will be informed and a phone call home may be required.

Introducing School Council members

Hi my name is Bill Papadopoulos and this is my third year on School Council at Cranbourne South Primary School. I have two wonderful children that attend Cranbourne South and I joined School Council to add my diverse perspective to the development of our lovely growing school community. Having both a business and education background allows me to see the many facets of the issues we as a council confront every day. If you ever see me around please come up and say hello!
