Gratitude Leaders help to fill the Gratitude basket in the front office
We are celebrating the one year anniversary of the Gratitude basket at Craigburn PS. At any time you can make a donation to help someone less fortunate than you.
The more donations we receive the more baskets we can make up and share with people in need.
Thank you to everyone that has used this over the past 12 months, we really appreciate it and enjoy helping others.

Weekend Netball Result
Year 3/4 Craigburn Blue V Hawthorndene 7-6
We hosted Hawthorndene at home again this weekend and it was our turn to come away with a win by one point this time! It was a challenging cold and wet first half with only 1 goal being scored overall. With everyone warmed up and ready for the second half we came together as a team and managed to score 7 goals with a big celebration for Chloe’s first netball goal in the 3rd quarter!

Afternoon Traffic
Please remember to:
- adhere to local traffic and parking regulations during afternoon pick up at the kiss and drop zone off Murrays Hill Rd and on Heath Lane.
- refrain from stopping and waiting on Murrays Hill Rd, nor to the entrance of the zone – as this causes congestion and a bank up of traffic.
