The state of NSW has highest participation rate of non English background students. Preview shown during meeting shows that Campsie Public School results have been steadily improving over the last 7 years and this is alongside the many extracurricular activities/events students of the school are involved in such as sporting, music and language programs. Results show CPS students are strong in Spelling and Numeracy topics but low in the topics of Grammar and Reading. Wi-Fi is now available throughout school, students will now be able to bring their Android/iOS devices to school to use in class. Policy protocol will be sent out to parents. One goal that P&C may like to contribute is to get soft matting in playground under COLA, better for students during morning announcements and safer for students when playing sport. Canteen Orders School plans to make available an online canteen order service soon, date TBA Online orders are to be made before 9am for that day's order to go through. Will also see if its possible to also order school winter uniforms through same system. School App CPS has had an App available for smart devices (android/iOS phones/tablets) since late last year.
