Congratulations CSPS
We are thrilled to announce that CSPS has been allocated $5,900,000 in the 2019 - 2020 State Budget as part of the government's capital works program.
This funding will be used to refurbish and modernise classrooms and facilities in Block A, and upgrade the car park and playing fields.
This is an exciting time for our school community. The Victorian School Building Authority (VSBA), in conjunction with the Department's regional office staff, will support us over the course of our capital works project.

Child Safe Standard 4
Standard 7: Strategies to promote child participation and empowerment
Child FIRST and family services.
Child FIRST is an easily accessible, community-based point of entry for children, young people and families needing support.
Some families need family services support when they are experiencing difficulties that impact on their parenting and family life.
Child FIRST (Child and family information, referral and support teams) are the entry point into family services. Child FIRST teams are located in sites across Victoria and is delivered in your local area by community service organisations.
Child FIRST, as the access point for family services, is progressively transitioning to The Orange Door.
What is the Orange Door?
The Orange Door is the new access point for women, children and young people who are experiencing family violence or families who need assistance with the care and wellbeing of children to access the services they need to be safe and supported.For more information, visit The Orange Door website.
Family services aim to promote the safety, stability and development of vulnerable children, young people and their families, from birth to 17 years of age, by providing case work service and linking families with relevant support services.
Anyone with a concern for a child or family wellbeing can make a referral to Child FIRST. Referrals can be made for vulnerable children, young people (0 to 17 years) and their families, including families with an unborn child.
Support programs include:
Family Services
Early Parenting Centre Services
Cradle to Kinder
Child Protection
You should contact Child Protection if you have reasonable grounds for believing a child has suffered or is suffering significant harm.

COMPASS: Unexplained Attendance SMS
Compass is now being used to send out unexplained absence SMS's. This is an automated process. If you have not advised the school of your child's absence you will receive a text. Parents can follow the link sent with the text to explain their absence.
Please note: An explained absence from a previous day is not assumed to the next. An absence note can be placed for multiple dates or one day at a time.
If you have any Compass questions the Office is more than happy to help.
