Welcome back! From what I heard, a number of families ventured away from home to enjoy quality family time relaxing and having fun. The children were ecstatic to be back ……and I know a number of parents were also happy they were back at school.
What a way to start the term with a very special ANZAC Ceremony. We are so honoured to be able to share this event with our whole school community. Thank you to the P & C who organised, and to those who donated and helped prepare the wreaths for the ceremony. They were beautiful and a lovely touch in helping us commemorate the occasion.
My family dropped off the CPS generous donations to the Kids Cancer Support Group, they were incredibly appreciative and passed on their heartfelt thanks to everyone.
As a government school, our facilities are available to be leased by various community groups. The hire agreement outlines specific areas that the groups can use for which the lease payment covers. TheirCare is one of our major companies who lease a room, the creative play space and the basketball courts (when netball are not training). As their major role is to care for CPS children, they have responsibility for duty of care. Currently we have a number of parents using TheirCare's leased areas before and after school. We request that these areas not be used at these times and that parents leave the school by 3.15pm. This ensures the TheirCare team can safely and effectively monitor and manage the children in their care.
Officially Kindy enrolments for 2024 will begin soon, however you can place an application into the office before this time to avoid the rush. We will be advertising the full details of the enrolment process through the Newsletter and Skoolbag throughout this term. Please pass on this information to any new families you know.
We have a close working relationship with our local Rotary group who are fully supportive of many school activities and events. We would now like to support them through providing information to our community on the Rotary Host and Exchange Student program. They have a 15 yo female student who is coming to Perth from the Czech Republic (Chechia). She will begin her first 5 months at Quairading and will then transfer to Cambridge Rotary club. She will be attending CSHS and speaks English. Attached is the flyer If you are interested in supporting this or you can contact Jeremy Wood from Cambridge Rotary directly on 0400 505 255 or at jeremypwood@outlook.com.au

What a wonderful day we had down at the CPS swimming carnival on Wednesday 22 March. All the year 3-6 students from CPS packed their bags and made the trek down to Churchlands Senior High School. We welcomed back parents to this event this year, and it was great to see a big turnout and thank-you for the support you showed the CPS students. Read More.
Hello parents and caregivers,
It has been lovely to join the school community as the school chaplain late last term. I have worked in Primary school chaplaincy over many years and in a dozen different schools. In collaboration with your school admin, we have defined my priorities and I have begun to settle into my role.
As a chaplain I support wellbeing amongst the students. One way of supporting students is being available to speak with them 1-1. My support of children is confidential, and always with parent consent. I am a respectful, compassionate presence to listen and empower them on their path.
If your child might benefit from support in friendships, dealing with emotions, or difficult life circumstances, please consider speaking to their teacher to determine whether my role may assist them.
Wishing you all the best this term.
Parents, this is a reminder to please notify the school before 9.30am if your child is going to be absent by sending an SMS to 0408 905 268. Please include student name, date and reason for absence.
