Talent Show
Brittany Pym and Caitlin Schulz decided on their own to start up a new concept in school that being one of a Talent Show. And so CDPS Got Talent was born. The girls produced notices to determine acts, they then organised the hall and are currently in the process of holding auditions. The talent show by our 1's, 2's, 3's and 4's has been of a very high standard with singing, dancing and other various acts. 5's and 6's are up next and then onto finals. The girls completed all the work with a little help from friends and minimal help from teachers and are to be congratulated for initiative and hard work.

Thank you to all students and parents/guardians that helped raise this money it is much appreciated.

Preps First Day
A special day for both parents and new students it was great to be a part of. I can honestly say that students were far braver and also shed less tears than our parents did. Students started the day with a range of activities including puzzles, drawing, play doh, blocks, and various toys. Mr Pace also learnt thanks to the help of PN how to do a hook-up. After all that they were very hungry and had some fruit and snacks.
