Each school in NSW offers something slightly different depending on the community. Here's what we offer for you.
Canteen
All canteens in NSW public schools must meet certain requirements. These include providing more healthy food and drink options – to make the healthy choice an easy choice for students. Visit Healthy school canteens to learn more.
The canteen is operated by P&C parent volunteers. Our canteen operates counter service for children to purchase snacks and refreshments. We also offer lunch and recess orders. These can be purchased by placing a paper bag with cash in the Canteen box or online via Qkr!. The Qkr! app can be downloaded on your phone and you can order up to 9am in the morning. For information on how to download Qkr! please click here. If you don't have a smartphone, a web-based version of Qkr! is available here.
Uniforms
When students wear a school uniform, they feel included in our school community.
Students, teachers, parents and carers, as well as members of our local community helped develop our school uniform to make sure it:
meets the requirements of occupational health and safety, anti-discrimination and equal opportunity legislation
includes items that are affordable, comfortable and made from easy-care and easy-wear fabrics
is appropriate for the full range of school activities
is suitable for all body shapes.
Learn more about the NSW Department of Education’s School Uniform Policy.
For our school uniform information see Our uniform.

Wattle Seed Experiment
In 2020 CPS applied to be part of an Australian 'Seeds in space' experiment. Golden Wattle seeds are being taken to the International Space Station for 6 months and then returned for students to grow, comparing the ones that stayed on Earth. Our application video can be viewed here. We were successful in this application and our seeds are currently in space!
