Thank You to Our Swimming Week Volunteers

A huge thank you to all the parents and caregivers who volunteered their time to support Swimming Week for our Years 3-5 students. Your help made a big difference in ensuring everything ran smoothly, and we truly appreciate your support.

The Reception to Year 2 program commences the first week back of Term 2 – please register your interest to volunteer via the front office.

Cooking sausages on the BBQ
Serving students, staff, and families with smiles and energy

Time slots: 20-30 minutes between 9:30 am – 1:00 pm
No experience needed—just bring your enthusiasm!

If you can help, please contact the Front Office to let us know your availability. Thank you—your support makes this event possible!

Thank you for your support—we can’t wait to celebrate Sports Day together.

Early Dismissal Reminder
Sports Day will conclude in time for early dismissal at 2:10 pm.

Car Parking

In the lead up to Sports Day, we remind all parents, carers and extended families and friends of the importance of road safety and parking around the school. We also remind everyone that Rangers from the local council visit schools at random times to check that parking regulations are adhered to on occasions such as sports days. Rangers will issue infringement notices where relevant.

A reminder too, that car parking by parents is not permitted on school grounds unless needing to use the disabled parking space or in an emergency. Thank you for your support.

Urgent – School Sports Registrations Due Now

Netball

A friendly reminder for students wishing to play netball for the school: please ensure that your registration is submitted by Monday, 31st March. Thank you to all those who have already registered. As teams need to be finalised and submitted to the association, it’s important to have your registration in on time.

Registrations are accessed through QKR under ‘After School Sports.’

We are still in need of coaches for years 3-5. School netball cannot happen without volunteers, so if you are interested in becoming a coach or co-coaching , please email cps.netball201@schools.sa.edu.au

Your support is essential to ensuring the success of the program. Further details regarding teams, uniforms, and the program will be released in the coming weeks. Thank you once again for your support, and we look forward to a fantastic season ahead.
