24.01.2022 Year 3/4 would like to thank the Aboriginal Australians for valuing the land we all live on today. It is everyone's responsibility to continue to protect the land, animals and resources of this Country. We pay respect to the Elders past and present for teaching us about their cultures. We will hold the traditions close as we continue to be custodians of this land.

24.01.2022 Today’s Acknowledgement of Country was sung to us by the Ginninderra preschool group. They were very proud of their efforts, and rightly so! We live on Ngunnawal land We play on Ngunnawal land Everyday we come together to learn on Ngunnawal land...

21.01.2022 The Cinderella Challenge Day 10 Well done, Rachel. Today’s Cinderella is indeed Ms Dawn!

21.01.2022 Year 5/6 shared their Acknowledgement of Country last week where they considered how the land has changed over time. Our school was once very different to today. It was once beautiful bush land and home to the Ngunnawal People. We have written this acknowledgment to celebrate their long history and connection to this land and to thank them for looking after it. Artwork credit: artark.com.au

18.01.2022 Don’t forget that Principal for a Day is happening this Friday the 6th of November! Students will need to bring in a gold coin for a chance to win and they can enter as many times as they like ($1 = 1 entry). As Principal for the day, the lucky student will make the morning announcements with Mr Lans, work alongside him during the day, and hand out achievement awards at the school assembly on Friday afternoon. Please have all money handed in to the front office by tomorrow morning, Thursday 5th of November if your child would like to be in the running. The winning student will be announced tomorrow afternoon!

16.01.2022 REMINDER: PYJAMA DAY Now that we are all back at school, let's celebrate and commemorate the amazing work we all did during remote learning by showing off our best and most loved pyjamas from during that time. We all had days when we were learning and teaching from home where we either stayed in our PJ's for too long... or even all day! So, let's get those PJ's out one more time and enjoy a cozy, warm day at school in our PJ's.... Join the teachers and staff on Friday 5 June for one big Pyjama Day!We know you would all like to wear your slippers too, but to make sure we can still play outside and stay safe, please make sure you wear enclosed shoes to school such as joggers/runners.Also remember that it is cold outside so a jacket and/or jumper will still be needed. This is not a fundraiser, so you don't need to bring a gold coin donation. Just wear your pyjamas for the day (and maybe your dressing gown!). We can't wait to see you all TOMORROW in your pyjamas! Miss Anna, Mr Staples, Miss Martin and the seniors

16.01.2022 We had such an amazing week celebrating and learning about the history and cultures of the first Australians as part of CDS's NAIDOC week. Always was, Always will be.

16.01.2022 On the advice of the Chief Health Officer, the ACT Government has paused its easing of restrictions and ACT public schools will remain at Step 2.2 of the Easing... of Restrictions Roadmap for Schools until health advice changes. Restrictions will remain as they were during the last two weeks of Term 2. Students across all years will continue with on-campus learning and schools will continue to support remote learning for students who are vulnerable to COVID-19.

13.01.2022 Meeting Place Art with Year 3/4 This art activity is based on building a ‘meeting place’ using natural materials. It involves working with natural objects to create a shared meeting place using the elements of balance, number, pattern and space. To move forward with Reconciliation, we must all do our bit and join in together, as with making the meeting place work, all pieces have a place and work together to make the whole. ...

01.01.2022 Experiencing technical difficulties? Help is available from our Education Directorate IT Support.

01.01.2022 We are celebrating Reconciliation Week. National Reconciliation Week occurs each year from 27 May marking two significant events in our history: 27 May 1967 saw more than 90% of Australians vote to allow the Commonwealth to make laws for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and include them in the national census. 3 June is Mabo Day - On this day in 1992, the High Court of Australia delivered its landmark Mabo decision which overturned the notion of ‘terra nulli...us’ and legally recognised Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples’ connection to their country, a connection that existed prior to colonisation and continues today. This recognition paved the way for the Native Title system. Each day, a year group will be sharing their own Acknowledgement of Country. Today is year 1/2's acknowledgement. We say thank you to the Ngunnawal people. We work and play on Ngunnawal land. Thank you for our grass, playground, school, knowledge, trees and sun. We promise to look after the CDS land by caring for the plants and animals. Artwork credit: artark.com.au
