Principal Report
Welcome to our final newsletter for Term 3. This means that we are rapidly approaching the conclusion of the 2025 academic school year, which comes with many opportunities to celebrate student learning and student improvements.
For those students in Years 7-9, they have a total of 44 days of learning remaining. For those in year 10 & 11, 39 days and those in year 12, 34 days. We are eager to ensure that every day is a day of learning at CSHS where we are supporting your children to enhance their learning. Please support us by ensuring your child prioritises attendance.
Student Leadership
Participating in the student leadership process, is one of the highlights of my role. As we begin the process of reading student applications, listening to leadership speeches and interviewing candidates, I am constantly blown away by the passion our students have for their school and their ideas to ways to improve.
I look forward to announcing our 2026 leaders at our end of year award ceremony.
RU OK? Day
Thursday 11th September we are taking time to recognise RU OK? Day. The day is designed to inspire and empower everyone to meaningfully connect with the people around them and start a conversation with those in their world who may be struggling with life.
Parentline
Being a parent is rewarding—but it can also be challenging. Whether you're trying to support your child with school issues, friendship challenges, behaviour, or tough moments at home, it's completely normal to feel unsure about what to do next.
Parentline is a free, confidential service for parents and carers across Queensland.
Parentline support is available 7 days a week, from 6am until midnight via:
Parentline offers advice and support on a wide range of parenting topics, including:
- bullying and friendship issues
- parent–child relationships
- parenting strategies and behaviour management
- mental and emotional wellbeing—for both children and parents
An online bullying support forum is also available. This is a safe, moderated space to connect with others, ask questions, and share experiences.
Kind regards,
Mrs Elizabeth Mayo
