P+C Update

P_C_T1W9_photo_1.JPG

If you are anything like me, the term holidays seem like a distant memory and the year is absolutely flying by with Term Three well under way. We are working to bring you engaging and interactive fundraising events throughout terms three and four. Keep an eye out for upcoming communications around our Father’s Day celebration and more events as the weather starts to warm up.

Term Two Winter Disco

Firstly, a massive thank you to our committee and community members who volunteered at the Winter Disco at the end of Term Two. By all accounts students and families had a wonderful time and we cannot run these events without the tireless efforts of our volunteers.

What would you like to see (or hear) from the CWSC P&C?

Our goal is supporting our school and community the best we can, by fostering connection across the CWSC community. If there is something you would like to see or hear from us, please reach out via the email contact below, or better yet – come along to our next meeting to share your ideas!

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.

 Father’s Day Breakfast - Friday 5 September

We are excited to host our annual Father’s Day breakfast in the STEM rooms at the school on Friday 5 September (Term 3 Week 7) to celebrate all the fantastic men in our lives. So, whether you are a dad, step-dad, grandad, uncle or favourite family friend… join us to celebrate the men in our school community.

We will have some delicious breakfast treats, along with our gift stall and card making activities for the kids.

Volunteers Needed … it’s your time to shine!!!

 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 1

Safe Parking Behaviours

Unsafe driving and parking behaviours increase the potential road safety risk for children around schools. Road safety is a shared responsibility, it is important the road rules are followed near our school to ensure the entire school community feels safe.

Please remember children are more at risk than adults around schools because they are smaller and less visible to drivers. They are also less predictable and less experienced, which makes them more likely to make errors of judgement.

Failing to follow simple road rules like parking on verges, in no stopping zones, in bus stops, near children’s crossings, on footpaths or across driveways increases the risk to children around schools. Please do the right thing to create a safe environment around our school.
