10.01.2022 Our teachers have been so amazing this year! Their resilience and dedication to our students has been phenomenal under very difficult circumstances. We can't celebrate this day for them properly this year, so please let them know how much you appreciate what they do for your children!

10.01.2022 Tomorrow is our Loud Shirt Day for people with hearing impairments. Come in your brightest shirts and bring a gold coin donation!

05.01.2022 Can't wait to sink our teeth into planning for the new build!

05.01.2022 Please share this law around your networks. Our principal did a 'spot check' this morning and despite the crossing being used about 15 times in 15 minutes only 2 drivers gave way to the pedestrians during this time! Our staff and families are doing the right thing by using the crossing, now it's up to you drivers! The law is that drivers need to give way to any pedestrians using a pedestrian or school crossing. This law is regardless of the presence of a crossing supervisor, though school crossings are only in operation when flags are displayed, or yellow lights are flashing.

05.01.2022 Next Friday 18th September (the last day of Term 3) we are having a Crazy Hair Day to raise money for Headspace and to have a bit of fun! We are requesting a gold coin donation to participate in celebrating what had been a crazy term! Let's all celebrate this event together!

04.01.2022 With the recently announced very exciting news of funding to plan for a new school, we want to make sure that everyone knows how we are going with this journey (and to celebrate the great things that we are already doing). Make sure that you follow us on Facebook, Instagram and now on Twitter (@ColacSS)! Stay up to date with everything to do with our fantastic school!

04.01.2022 Have a lovely and safe holidays everyone! You have all done an amazing job this term and we can't wait to see you all again next term. Have fun!

04.01.2022 Some of our senior students put on a Thank You Morning Tea for our Education Support Staff. They were able to show their fantastic hospitality skills to those who help them to learn them. A huge thanks to our ES! We could not do it without you!

04.01.2022 Lots of yummy and beautiful things have been prepared for our Father's Day stall tomorrow! Don't forget to call the school to place an order or send your child in with money so that they can buy something special for their father, grandfather, or other special man in their lives. Our Enterprise Education Teams have done a wonderful job getting it all ready, so please help support them at the same time!

02.01.2022 Step One of getting the new bus shed project started!

02.01.2022 Hello Families! It's the last day of the school holidays and we hope that you have had a lovely break. Our town and our school have done a wonderful job combatting this terrible virus and we are now safer than ever! We still have COVID-19 hygiene practices in place, but we are good to go for all students to return Monday. We hope to see everyone back and get everything back to as normal as possible tomorrow. If you have any questions or don't think that your child is ready to... start tomorrow, please get in touch with us as soon as possible. See you soon. Cameron and the Staff of CSS
