Sausage Sizzle for Last Day of Term

Friday 15th September is the last day of Term 3, and we will be celebrating with a Sausage Sizzle. This event is funded by the PA levy in your contributions. 

We are looking for people to volunteer on the day, if you're keen to get involved please contact Jess on 0412 926 644. 

Monthly PA meeting

On the first Wednesday of every month, we hold the CSPS PA meeting. Our next meeting is on Wednesday 6th September at 7:30pm in the school hall. In this meeting we'd like to discuss the Class Representative / PA role for 2024, to see if we can try to make clearer and more streamlined roles and responsibilities. So, if you currently help out as either a Class Rep or on the PA, we'd love you to attend so you can provide any feedback on what's working, what's challenging, and how we can make the PA really thrive in 2024.  

Bogan Bingo Parent's Night

We are excited that this year’s major fundraiser is only a few weeks away. There has been lots of planning and organising to make this the best and most profitable fundraiser we’ve had at the school. This year the decision has been made to raise funds for the new STEM program. 

Whilst the 'Bogan Bingo' fundraising raffle has already begun, there will be lots more prizes on the night that you can bid for in our silent auction.

Silent Auction Prizes include:

• $1220 MRC Dining and Racing Experience for 6 people
• Chadstone Experience including Archie Brothers, Holey Moley, Hijinx Hotel, Piccolina Gelateria, as well as Legoland special prizes
• Wellness hampers including Willow Retreat, KX Pilates, Frank Green water bottle, a special accommodation package, and so much more

The night will also be full of laughs with incredible entertainment. This year’s event is being hosted at a convenient private venue, so the bar will be filled with a variety of excellent drink options, and we can party hard with an awesome DJ into the wee hours of the morning. 

If you haven’t purchased tickets yet, get in quick as they are almost gone. The booking link is still active on Compass, you can book solo or contact Adele, through the office email to lock in a group of friends to be seated together.
