Stairwell Painting
Fri 05 Jul 201312 of our talented artists have been working with several Cranbourne pupils over the past few months. This is a great joint venture, and they’ve worked together to come up with ideas and drawings that help demonstrate the values of our school. It’s work in progress, but they have made a fantastic start! Come and have a look at the Year 4/6 stairwell!

Pencil Cases
Tue 02 Jul 2013Just to re-iterate that as from September 2013, children will not need to bring in pencil cases (indeed, they aren't allowed to!). The school will provide all that is needed. This is to save space at school, avoid unnecessary time lost in lessons, and ensure that all children have all necessary resources at all times. It will, of course, save money for parents too. -

What is life like when you are blind?
Thu 20 Jun 2013Today we had an excellent assembly with our special guests Dave and Faye. Dave lost his sight many years ago, and shared what life is like having no vision at all. He showed us various gadgets that he uses to help him live a normal life, including a device that tells him what colour his clothes are. He also brought his guide dog Gary, who was very well behaved! It really helped us understand what life is like, and we look forward to seeing Dave, Faye and Gary around the school more often.

Pupils show off their sporting ability!
Thu 20 Jun 2013What a fantastic sports day today! And the weather held off! Well done to our amazing pupils, who showed the true spirit of sports- teamwork, competition and enjoyment. They were simply brilliant, and we are very proud of them. Thank you also to the parents, relatives and friends who helped make the day so enjoyable. So many commented on the great atmosphere, the attitude of the pupils, and DJ Mr Hanson who helped keep things ticking along. Finally, a huge thank you to Miss Sheppard for her overall organisation in making the day a success.
