Stories and highlights

There's always something to celebrate at our school! From exciting events to proud moments and everyday wins, here are some of our highlights.

"CPS has provided a nurturing, inclusive, and engaging environment where both boys have thrived. They’ve made the most of the many extracurricular opportunities on offer – from playing in the school band to representing Clovelly in PSSA sport, and participating in art and design projects. These experiences have built their confidence, teamwork, and sense of belonging. The Year 6 play was a particular highlight and a perfect way to celebrate their final year - a joyful, creative experience they’ll always remember. We feel incredibly lucky to have been part of such a supportive and vibrant school community.” - Sophie, parent of Clovelly Public School

"My Top Three

In no particular order, my first highlight would have to be the school production. Being a backstage ninja in Year 5 was exciting, and being a cast member in Year 6 was an experience I will never forget. The buzz of performing for our school community was next-level and unlike anything else I have been part of. I learnt so much from Mr Scale and I thought the play brought out the best in me and us as a Year 6 group.

The next highlight would have to be the friendships. I probably took it for granted, but in Year 6 you’re in a great position to make some great connections across the different year groups. It was awesome hanging out with my buddy and there was no doubt you felt the love with all the the big hellos and high-fives you would get from all the kindy and Year 1 students in the playground. Finishing school with mates I had since kindergarten was also special and it was great celebrating the end of our primary school journey together.

My third highlight was representing Clovelly on the sporting fields. Whether it’s a swimming carnival, running race or PSSA sport, there’s always something to look forward to and a goal to work toward. The basketball and handball games at lunch were also fun and perhaps the most competitive of the lot. ” — Rafferty, alumni of Clovelly Public School
