Wow! I can’t believe how quickly this year seems to be progressing. We are past the half -way point of Term Three and holidays will be just around the corner. The P&C has some great events planned for the remainder of school year and we hope to raise more funds to support our school. Our Father’s Day celebration is next week, so don’t miss your chance to celebrate the fabulous men in our lives…more details below.

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

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! Meetings are held in the School Library from 6:30pm.

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.

 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 2

Safe School Environments

Creating a safe environment around our school requires a collaborative approach from everyone, including parents, teachers, children and the broader community. Please drive slowly around the school and be courteous to other drivers and teachers.

A great way to improve safety around the school is to decrease the number of cars on the road, particularly during the peak times. Encouraging children to walk or ride to school has many great benefits, including less congestion, increased safety, and healthier and happier children. 

Alternatively, consider dropping off and collecting students from streets a little distance from the school to reduce traffic in the school carpark, which will help to increase safety.

If you need to drive your children to school, please obey the road rules and always be on the lookout for pedestrians and other motorists.
