Friday Markets are back!

in Community Notices, Festivals and Events, Parents and Friends Association

Welcome back to Friday Markets! We are so pleased to welcome our beloved Friday Markets back. Please be reminded that parents need to be responsible for their children’s behaviour and school boundaries. This means that children are able to play, calmly, with supervision, on the top green area, under the Dome and on the low monkey bars only. The high monkey bars and sandpit are out of bounds please, as are other areas of the school grounds. Teachers will be present and we ask that parents please be responsible for their own children and keep them in their sites.

The Markets will officially close at 3:45pm.

For the current CBRSS Community.

Welcome Class 1 & Kindergarten to the school community

in Community News, Parents and Friends Association

The Co-Heads of our school along with the P & F team welcomed the parents of Kindergarten and Class 1 students with a lovely morning tea on their first week at school. It was a pleasure to meet some of the new parents and welcome back others to CBRSS. For both mornings we were blessed with fine weather so we were able to hold a tea party outside under the shade of the trees and the dome. Teera & Paddy made the parents feel welcome to our very special primary school by sharing a few stories and tips.
