Principal News

CSPS spirit

Congratulations on our amazing sporting results in 5/6 Hooptime and Athletics.  We have a number of exciting events coming up in the next 3 months which we will watch with eager anticipation.

CSPS would like the support from families of students participating, that we leave from school and return back to school as 'a team'.

Such is also critical for attendance and safety purposes of our students. 

If you need to take your child from the venue early you must seek PRIOR written approval from the Principal class.
