Welcome students and families to our 2023 school year! It has been wonderful to walk around seeing that our students have settled into the new year so well. By just after 9am each day all classes have settled into their reading workshops and are concentrating hard on their work!

A special welcome also to our new Foundation students, I hope they have enjoyed the start to their schooling journey. It is a big step for students when they start school, and we are all very impressed with how well they have adjusted to the school environment. During the month of February Foundation students will continue to have Wednesdays off to assist in the adjustment to their new routine.

Hands, feet and objects

Whilst we’ve had a really settled start for 2023 and the students should be commended for their behaviour as they settle back into school routines, I want to remind the whole school community that at CPS we have a zero-tolerance policy to any form of violence at school. If you hit, kick or harm another student, there will be consequences for these actions.

Uniforms

As per our school uniform policy, all students are expected to be in full school uniform each day. This includes polo shirt and shorts, or school dress, black shoes and bottle green hat. During Term 1 all students must wear a hat when outside at play time or for sport. Students that do not have a hat must stay in the undercover areas. New hats are available for purchaser at the office for $12.

New Bus Zone

As of Monday afternoon, the 13th February, the public will not be allowed to park in the area of the red arrow between the hours of 8:00am-9:30am and 2:30pm-4:00pm. This is due to this area becoming the BUS ZONE whilst the building works are taking place at the school. There will be safety barriers erected along this stretch of William Street to keep bus travellers safe. It will remain this way until the building works are complete. During this time the ‘D’ area will not be accessible as this will be a part of the construction zone.

Thanks in advance for your patience and understanding.
