Dear CSPS parents and families,
We are excited to be welcoming our Year 3-6 students back to school next Tuesday 9th June. Just a reminder that Monday 8th June is the Queen’s Birthday Public Holiday – No school.
As the students return to on-site learning, there will no longer be a remote learning program provided as teachers’ time will be focused on providing a face-to-face classroom program. Please contact the school if your child is unable to return to school next week.
Our CSPS community has been apart since 24th March and we will be back together on Tuesday!
We have stayed at home and stayed safe and we have done our bit towards helping our community stay healthy.
To celebrate the return of our 3s to 6s, completing our amazing school, we are gifting you this heart-felt, inspiring and enjoyable video of some of our amazing students and staff.
We have come ‘over the rainbow’ and we are all in this together. Stay safe and stay well.
Warmest regards,
Gayle, Bianca and CSPS staff
Return to School Plan Yr 3-6 students
| In developing the following plans for returning to on-site learning, keeping everyone safe and well has been paramount and we have planned as thoroughly as we can to achieve this outcome.
These are the initial plans that will commence on Tuesday 9th June and we have tried hard to cover a number of foreseeable circumstances and ask for everyone’s support as, understandably, there may still be some glitches to which we will respond as quickly as possible. We are looking forward to working with our staff, students and community in this transition back to school. Through ongoing reflection, we will be reviewing our practices and making the necessary adjustments. |
