22.01.2022 Last Friday the 19th of March was the National Day of Action against Bullying. In relation to this our SRC organised a Bullying No Way Assembly. The intention of this assembly was to make a distinct and collective statement about bullying. This was done through the creation of our 8 metre "CCS says No to Bullying" banner that was made by students and the "Everyday is Bullying No Way Day" message throughout the assembly. This is just one of the many ways how we strive to be a community that partners with parents to grow students into well rounded, responsible leaders who love God, love others and influence the world!

21.01.2022 This week is Teacher Assistant Appreciation Week! We acknowledged our Learning Support Team with a prayer and praise time in staff devotions on Monday. The team were also given 2020 survival packs, which contained a mask, sanitizer spray, personalised key rings and coffee voucher for 3 Flamingos (because coffee is needed all of the time, but especially in 2020). Many students also made cards for the team. Thank you for the amazing work you do Learning Support Team. We really do appreciate you!

They were amazed at the effectiveness of the margarine and blubber in keeping their hand warm! #growingtogether
