P+C Update
As term two draws to a close we wanted to shout out to our incredible committee and volunteers who have helped put our events together this term. Below you will see some of their handywork in action.
We hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday and hope we have some warmer, sunny days ahead for everyone to enjoy.
LSA Appreciation Week
The P&C was so proud to acknowledge the contribution of our LSAs for appreciation week by hosting a morning tea with lots of delicious treats. We hope everyone enjoyed them on the day.
Father’s Day Breakfast
We had a fabulous start to the day on Friday 5 September with breakfast to celebrate all the special men in our lives. The students enjoyed crafting and card making activities and our gift stall was popular as ever.
We also hosted a paper plane making and flying competition… a big congratulations to our winner Hunter (6JG) and runner up Bella (6AB) who both enjoyed a voucher at the gift shop and left with some wonderful prizes to share with their families.
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! Meetings are usually held in the School Library from 6:30pm on Thursday of weeks two and six each term.
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.

Save the date for the (almost) Summer Disco
We are excited to host another school disco in Term 4 on Friday 21 November!!
Our Winter Disco DJ is returning, and we will be giving students the opportunity to request their favourite songs by posting a paper sign-up sheet in each year cohort area next term.
We are currently finalising all the details so keep an eye out for information at the start of next term.
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 3
Children's crossing safety
Teaching children to cross the road safely is an important life skill. Children’s crossings are provided near schools to make it safer and easier for children to access the school. Children should be taught to make sure motorists completely stop prior to stepping onto the road.
When driving and parking around the school, please keep a look out for pedestrians when approaching the crossing and remember to stop and allow pedestrians to clear the road completely prior to proceeding.
Never park on the approach to the crossing, it reduces visibility and safety, particularly for children who are less visible to motorists. It is also important that motorists never try to pass other cars at a crossing or queue through a crossing, this type of behaviour significantly reduces safety for children.
More information is available in this children’s crossing information sheet. Please drive slowly and be patient near the school to keep our community safe.
