From The Principal…
Prep enrolments 2016
Parents of children in the school with a sibling
who will be starting Prep in 2016 are
encouraged to collect an enrolment pack from
the office. The forms need to be completed
and returned as soon as possible. This
information is important in the planning
process for 2016 as we are currently receiving
many queries about enrolment both inside
and outside of our designated neighbourhood
catchment. Once we finalise our numbers
from within our catchment and current
families, we can determine the number of
positions we can offer just outside our
catchment. If you know of any families
interested in sending their children to
Canterbury Primary School please inform
them that enrolment packs are available and
that tours are conducted by appointment.
Leave
I will be taking long service leave for the last
two weeks of this term. Justine Mackey will be
well supported by our school Leadership
Team, Matt Forrest and Victoria Milne in my
absence. Best wishes to all of our Canterbury
families for the remainder of the term and the
term break.

POSITION VACANT
Ladies and Gentlemen there is an amazing opportunity
for one lucky person out there!
The position of Secretary is currently vacant on the
CPA. The role requires typing up the quarterly
meetings and other related tasks. A full hand over is
provided with on-the-spot training and guidance.
This is a fabulous opportunity to join a groovy team of
ladies who meet ‘informally’ for coffee once a term and
‘formally’ once a term with the Parent Coordinator
meeting…not too time consuming! Please contact
Melinda or Lisa (see details below) to discuss.
Oh, and the first coffee is FREE !
