Principal News

What makes us special?

Message from a community member:

I have just left the school after a meeting with Monique Corcoran.

I have come away from that time, with such admiration for the display of leadership that radiated care, concern, compassion and honesty.

I am so thankful to know that there is a school community like CSPS we can connect to; where my student is not only educated, but holistically supported and cared for.

Unicorn Poo

What an absolute delight sharing in the Birthday celebrations of one of our Foundation students.  The cupcakes reminded myself and the students what unicorn poo would look like.  Let's celebrate each and everyday like a birthday with Unicorn poo cupcakes.    Monique Corcoran

Good News story

I wanted the school to be aware of the amazing efforts and thoughtfulness of 3 Cranbourne South students.  Lillie H.  from 2a had a beautiful idea that she wanted to raise money for a children's hospital by making and selling home-made lemonade. She told me her idea and I thought it was so selfless. I suggested because of the time of year that she could raise funds for The Good Friday Appeal. She then told her idea to Zetske S.(2a) and Gracie H. (Fb) who wanted to help too.  The girls made lemonade together and then set up a stall this afternoon for 2 hours. With the help of social media and community support, the girls very impressively raised $199.75 for The Good Friday Appeal.  I thought the school would like to know the girls' achievements - I'm so proud of them all but particularly Lillie for having the idea and making it all happen.  From Clare H. - Lillie & Gracie's mum
