At CPS we highly value Student Leadership. We have developed an excellent leadership program that supports a breadth of leadership opportunities for the students. To ensure continuous improvement students from years 4 - 6 were provided the opportunity to access a National Student Survey. The questions provided, gave students the opportunity to let us know what is working well and what we need to work on. There was also a questions on leadership and if teacher feedback on their learning supported their future focus. Overall the students indicated a high rate of satisfaction with most areas of the survey.

Areas identified as requiring further review

If you have any concerns or issues, please make an appointment with your child’s class teacher.

This allows the teacher to give you their full attention. Trying to discuss any issues or concerns at drop-off is very difficult.
