Dear Parents and Carers

Term 2 is off to a great start here at Canterbury as you will see in this edition of our fortnightly newsletter.

Congratulations
Maisie has been successful in obtaining a position in The Arts Unit’s 2025 Year 3-4 Dance Workshop. Maisie will be joining other talented dancers at the Sydney Dance Company next week. Congratulations, Maisie!

Mother’s Day Event
I hope you can join us tomorrow morning for the CPS Mother's Day event, hosted by the P&C. Gates open at 8am. 

Thank You
What’s not to love about Democracy Sausage Day? The sun was shining, our volunteers were smiling and the cakes, sausage sizzle and breakfast rolls were delectable! A huge thank you to the amazing team of CPS parents that organised the election fundraiser and thanks to every parent and child who helped make the day a great success whether through volunteering a few hours, donating cakes and books, helping in the garden or making and selling school-grown LIME-onaide.

Cross-Country
Thanks to our organisers, Ms Askin and the Stage 1 team, and the parents and carers who weathered the weather to support the 3-6 cross-country carnival last Thursday. Thanks also to James H for volunteering to take official school photos of athletes and races. Read on for action shots and details.

ANZAC Day
Thank you to Ms Phillips and the SRC for hosting this year’s special ANZAC Day Assembly and to our talented Concert Band for the special rendition of Remember the ANZACs. More details can be found below.

Principal’s Afternoon Tea
It was a privilege to celebrate with families the outstanding efforts of 34 students who were nominated by their teacher to attend the Principal’s Afternoon Tea. Here are a few happy snaps of the deserved guests of honour.

Best Part of my Day

Happy Mother’s Day for Sunday. May you be spoiled with love, cuddles and appreciation for all you do.
