P+C Update
As the first day of winter officially ticks over… it’s a great time to check that all your child’s belongings are clearly labelled with their name. This season we see jackets, beanies scarves and gloves all put on and taken off at various times throughout the day. Having your child’s name clearly visible on items helps if anything is misplaced, as school staff can assist to reunite items with their correct owner and will save you the heartache and expense of replacing lost items. Don’t forget to check the school’s lost property regularly for items your child may have misplaced.
The P&C is very excited to host the winter disco for students (and preschool to year two families) on 27 June 2025. See our Disco update below for more information.
If you are interested in joining the P&C Committee or just curious as to what we are about - we usually host meetings in week 3 and week 7 of each school term, on Thursdays from 6:30pm in the school library. Our next meeting will be on June 12 (full details below).
Make sure you follow us on Facebook or join one of the WhatsApp parent groups to stay in touch and receive updates on events hosted by the P&C.
Reminder for communicating via our WhatsApp cohort groups
We love seeing our CWSC families connect with each other via WhatsApp. Please remember to always be respectful and mindful of others.
Also remember we are a Parents & Citizens group and School Staff are not part of the chat. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your child, these should always be communicated to the school directly.
Group rules are listed below for your convenience.
We hope you are all staying warm and we hope to see you all at the Disco in week nine!

Thank you to those family members that have already signed up – we will reach out shortly via WhatsApp with more information.
Uniforms desperately needed!!
You may be aware the P&C runs a second hand uniform shop. Our goal is to provide good quality second hand uniforms to our families at reasonable prices. We rely on donations of uniforms to keep up our stock levels and provide this valuable service to our school community.
If you have any uniform items that your children have outgrown - you can donate them at the school front office, where our team will collect and wash them ready for sale.

Connect With Other Parents and P & C
WhatsApp groups provide another channel of information for parents and the opportunity to connect and chat with others in your child’s year group. Simply scan the QR code at the school front office using your phone camera to join the relevant group.
We are aware some families are not comfortable sharing their mobile numbers via WhatsApp. Unfortunately, this is an app setting and cannot be changed. We recommend joining our Facebook (private) group to receive regular updates. More details on this group to come.

SCHOOL SAFETY SERIES – EPISODE 4
Part way there is OK!
Traffic congestion is a common issue around most schools during the morning and afternoon peak periods. Roads aren’t designed to cope with the sudden increase in traffic volumes for 15-20 minute periods each morning and afternoon.
If you need to drive, a simple way to reduce the congestion around our school is to use part way drop off or collection points. Part way points can significantly reduce the burden on the local road network. They are ideal for families who live too far away from the school to walk or ride for the entire journey.
Consider dropping off and collecting students from a location that is a short distance from the school that provides safe and easy access. Not only will you help to reduce congestion around the school, children will also receive the health benefits for walking or riding part of the trip. Useful resources are available on the Transport Canberra website.
