CLASS ALLOCATIONS FOR 2019
The following provides information regarding 2019 class allocations;
Over the coming weeks, children will be asked to list five friends they would like to be in their class next year. We guarantee to place your child with at least one person from their list. Please discuss this process with your child.
The composition of classes is a complex and delicate balancing act; taking into account friendships, learning styles and needs, suitability of teacher, combinations of children and a range of other factors. Should you have a significant matter to raise in relation to class composition for next year you need to email Megan Smith or Susan Williamson before Friday 9th November. It is too late to enable changes after this date. Please note not all requests will be met, particularly in relation to requests for a preferred classroom teacher.
All matters relating to current years 1 and 2 should be directed to Susan Williamson and years Prep, 3, 4 and 5 to Megan Smith.

CHPS FAIR 2019
The annual school fair is fast approaching – Saturday 24th November. To ensure that it is a success we need all families to provide their support. This can be done in many ways;
The Fair is the school’s biggest fundraiser for the year. The money raised makes a huge difference to our school as it enables us to complete projects that we could not do solely through government provided funds. Our school is what it is today because of the time and effort our families put into our Fair every year. A list of Fair funded projects that have made a difference to our school are;
Last year's Fair money was allocated to the redesign of the Prep Courtyard area. This is still a work in progress with the following design being considered. Please view the file below and email any feedback to the School Council President, Vanessa Todd (chps_schoolcouncil@cliftonhillps.vic.edu.au) or Megan Smith (smith.megan.s@edumail.vic.gov.au) by Friday 2nd November.
I look forward to working with you to ensure another successful year for our Fair. A huge thank you to our current Fair Committee.
Kind Regards,
Megan
