School timetable
Throughout 2020, we took the opportunity to evaluate the school timetable 'times' that would best suit the needs of student learning. We will notify the community when the timetable is finalised.
School day is 9.00 - 3.30pm
If you require an early pick up for a school approved reason eg. a medical appointment that cannot be arranged after hours, please phone the school when you are in the Kiss and Go Zone and your child will be bought out to your car.
Any early pick up is highly encouraged to occur during Break times; currently 10.40 - 11.25am and 1.05 - 1.50pm.
The Principal will monitor and document all early school picks ups to ensure valid reasons are provided, not merely per convenience eg. to travel to an after school activity and avoid traffic congestion.
Capital Works
It is exciting to update the community in relation to the Capital Works:
- the successful tender has been officially appointed
- the first site meeting is scheduled for Friday 5th February
- works will commence ASAP
We thank the staff, students and community for their patience in relation to COVID delays.
Mobile Phone Policy
As the school year commences, it is imperative that all families are aware of the CSPS Mobile Phone Policy and requirements directed by the Department of Education.
Generally, the area of the school most affected are Year 4 – 6 families.
All Year 4 – 6 families are to:
- Be aware of the Mobile Phone Policy and school requirements and address with their children.
- Understand that all student mobile phone information will be recorded at a school level ie. model, colour etc…
- Know that all mobile devices are locked in a cabinet during school hours.
Is your child in full, acceptable school uniform?
