Developing oral skills
Spring Music Concert
Lapathon
Year 6 Market Day

Developing rich oral skills is key to developing good reading and writing skills. From Pre-Kindergarten to Year 6, boys engage with both the Talk for Reading and Talk for Writing models. Both approaches are evidence based and are underpinned by rich oral language development as a foundation for writing and reading success. In the younger years, opportunities at home to assist in developing sound oral language skills include reading together as a time to bond, explore new stories, and introduce new words. Storytelling and imaginative play encourage new vocabulary, practicing sentence structure and developing creative thinking. Alphabet and letter recognition games, such as ‘I Spy’, promote vocabulary development and phonic awareness. Together, these experiences build the strong oral foundation that supports boys in becoming confident, capable readers and writers throughout their schooling.

Week 9 in the Preparatory School continues to be busy with the Spring Music Concert taking place in the Chapel on Tuesday night. A wonderful evening that highlighted all the demanding work that our musical ensembles put into performing their pieces. From guitar ensembles to the Yahoos, it was a great night that celebrated the boys’ musical talents.

The Wardung Lapathon had been moved to Tuesday of this week. All boys in the Preparatory School ran enthusiastically in support of Camp Quality, an organisation helping children and families as they face the challenges of cancer. With over $15000 raised already, families can still donate money here to this important cause.

Year 6 Market Day took place yesterday and showed how the Year 6 cohort embarked upon the journey of product research, design, manufacturing, and sale to our whole school community with proceeds raised going towards The Orangutan Project and The Cancer Council. Read more here.

Allergies can be life threatening

Members of our school community are reminded that we are an allergy-aware school that has procedures in place for Allergy Awareness and Anaphylaxis Management. Please click here to view our Student Health Care Procedures.

Food allergies, the most severe form of which is anaphylaxis, remain a concern for many of our parents. The School encourages both current and new members of the school community to familiarise themselves with procedures in place to help support those families who must manage their son’s life-threatening condition daily.

Anaphylaxis is a severe, rapidly progressive allergic reaction that is potentially life-threatening. The most common foods that cause anaphylaxis in school-aged children are peanuts, eggs, tree nuts, cow’s milk, fish and shellfish, wheat, soy and sesame. Nut allergies are by far, however, the most common cause of anaphylaxis among our current student population.

Due to the life-threatening nature of a severe allergic reaction, we ask all parents to assist us in making the school environment as safe as possible for all students. Therefore, please avoid sending nuts or food products containing nuts to school.

Drop Off and Pick Up

We have seen an increase in parents breaking the school rules regarding where/how to drop off and pick up their son from school. This is leading to staff not being able to park on campus and a large increase in school traffic congestion.

Please adhere to the process for your son’s age group, and under no circumstances park on campus. See below for the process:
- In the morning, drop your son to school at the roundabout. Do not park.
- Staff car park drop gate is up from 2.15pm to 3.15pm. Please do not try to enter the staff car park during these times, and do not arrive early to queue at the drop gate.
- Please do not arrive early to collect your son, as this adds to traffic congestion. There is a staff member on supervision duty until 3.30pm.
- Collect your son from the roundabout quickly and then move on.
- Do not park on campus, as this holds up traffic moving through the school.

We ask that you wear your school name badge on the evening. Should you have any queries please email Sarah Commander on scommander@ccgs.wa.edu.au.

Drop off and Pick Up

We have seen an increase in parents breaking the school rules regarding where/how to drop off and pick up their son from school. This is leading to staff not being able to park on campus and a large increase in school traffic congestion.

Please adhere to the process for your son’s age group, and under no circumstances park on campus. See below for the process:
- In the morning, drop your son to school at the roundabout or at the white umbrellas. Do not park.
- Staff car park drop gate is up from 2.15pm to 3.15pm. Please do not try to enter the staff car park during these times, and do not arrive early to queue at the drop gate.
- Please do not arrive early to collect your son, as this adds to traffic congestion. There is a staff member on supervision duty until 3.30pm.
- Organise with your son to collect him from either the roundabout or the white umbrellas. Collecting your son from the white umbrellas is not compulsory.
- Do not park on campus, as this holds up traffic moving through the school.

Allergies can be life threatening

Members of our school community are reminded that we are an allergy-aware school that has procedures in place for Allergy Awareness and Anaphylaxis Management. Please click here to view our Student Health Care Procedures.

Food allergies, the most severe form of which is anaphylaxis, remain a concern for many of our parents. The School encourages both current and new members of the school community to familiarise themselves with procedures in place to help support those families who must manage their son’s life-threatening condition daily.

Anaphylaxis is a severe, rapidly progressive allergic reaction that is potentially life-threatening. The most common foods that cause anaphylaxis in school-aged children are peanuts, eggs, tree nuts, cow’s milk, fish and shellfish, wheat, soy and sesame. Nut allergies are by far, however, the most common cause of anaphylaxis among our current student population.

Due to the life-threatening nature of a severe allergic reaction, we ask all parents to assist us in making the school environment as safe as possible for all students. Therefore, please avoid sending nuts or food products containing nuts to school.

Students are not permitted to leave the campus for Claremont during assessment periods.

Important Academic Dates 2026

Year 12 is a fast and frenetic year – it is very helpful if parents, as well as boys, are aware of key dates. The dates can be found here.

Please take particular note that if your son is studying a subject with a practical exam, he must be available during the Term 3 holidays for this exam. SCSA issues these exam times and will not make alternative arrangements where the times are deemed inconvenient by parents. They also do not accede to parents’ requests for particular dates and times.

In short – please do not make any plans to travel interstate or overseas with your son during the Term 3 holidays.

Requests for change of subject

Year 12 students who are seeking to change a subject need to speak with the Studies Office as soon as possible. Friday Week 9 is the latest point for such changes; however, given the shortness of the Year 12 academic year, the sooner it is done, the better. SCSA regulations dictate that no changes are available mid-year in Year 12. Students with any queries in this regard are welcome to speak to Dr Rose or Mr Vaswani in the Studies Office.

Year 12 Parent/Teacher/Student interviews online

The Year 12 online interviews are scheduled for Monday 16 March from 3.45 pm to 7.00pm. Parents will be advised of the booking process approximately ten days before the interviews

Medical Certificates

Year 12 students are asked not to attend school when unwell and will need to obtain a medical certificate from a doctor who is not a family member to cover any absence from assessment due to illness.

Study Lab

Study Lab is open to all students for quiet or collaborative study and/or homework. Ms Bana is the teacher-in-charge. Study Lab hours are 3.05pm to 4.45pm Monday to Thursday.

Allergies can be life threatening

Members of our school community are reminded that we are an allergy-aware school that has procedures in place for Allergy Awareness and Anaphylaxis Management. Please click here to view our Student Health Care Procedures.

Food allergies, the most severe form of which is anaphylaxis, remain a concern for many of our parents. The School encourages both current and new members of the school community to familiarise themselves with procedures in place to help support those families who must manage their son’s life-threatening condition daily.

Anaphylaxis is a severe, rapidly progressive allergic reaction that is potentially life-threatening. The most common foods that cause anaphylaxis in school-aged children are peanuts, eggs, tree nuts, cow’s milk, fish and shellfish, wheat, soy and sesame. Nut allergies are by far, however, the most common cause of anaphylaxis among our current student population.

Due to the life-threatening nature of a severe allergic reaction, we ask all parents to assist us in making the school environment as safe as possible for all students. Therefore, please avoid sending nuts or food products containing nuts to school.
