Halloween Fun at Cottage
Just a few more sleeps till Halloween!  We hope everybody is ready for a night of fright and fun!

For those with bookings at Cottage on Halloween, we’ve got a fun-filled day of games, treats, and craft activities planned to celebrate the spooky season so no one will be left out.

Don’t have a booking?  Trick-or-Treaters are welcome to stop by our gate on Cambridge Street for a fun treat and to show off all the cool costumes!

XAP Feedback
We are currently looking at alternative childcare management systems as we would really love to be able to share photos, videos and observations of your children and what they get up to at Cottage, with you. This will give you more visibility into what we do day-to-day and continue making the Cottage as child safe as possible.

We also want to make sure that the platform we use at Cottage is easy for families to navigate, make bookings, mark your child absent, pay fees etc.

Please feel free to share your comments or feedback about Xap and any suggestions you may have to our email admin@thecottageoshc.org.

We very much value your input and want to make sure all families voices are heard when it comes to a big change like this.

Prom Night – What a Night!
Our Prom Night Disco fundraiser was an absolute hit — the costumes were spectacular, the music was spot-on, the dance moves legendary, and the energy electric!

A massive shout-out to our incredibly talented and dedicated fundraising team — Mirella, Emma, and Jodie.  Without their endless hours of planning, creativity, and enthusiasm, events like these simply wouldn’t happen.  If you see them around the school, please take a moment to say thank you — they truly are amazing and a huge asset to our school community!

Plus, a big thank you to Matthew E for his spectacular MCing on the night.  The decorations were extraordinary so thank you to all those who helped set up and decorate - Sadie, Molly, Tessa, Evie, Aleesha, Char, Helena, Ian B and Lee.  Thank you to the team who helped secure our many auction items: Prue E our queen auction-item organiser, plus Jo H, Sarah N, Mina R and Eliza.

And of course, thank-you to all the amazing businesses, individuals and families who donated their goods and services for our auction.  Generosity like this makes a real difference — every single dollar raised goes straight back into supporting our school and our kids.  We're grateful for the support of our local community so in no particular order, thank you to:

And lastly a big thank-you to everyone who came along to support the school, dressed up, hit the dance floor, and helped make the night such a fun and memorable evening; not to mention a very successful fundraising event - we raised over $21,000!!

Check out some of the fabulous photos below!

GRPS Shines at the NSW Interschools Ski Races!
In July, a team of two enthusiastic skiers represented GRPS at the 2025 NSW Interschools Snowsports Championships in Thredbo. Over a week of exciting races, changing conditions, and plenty of cheering, Adelaide T and Tilly O'D showed incredible growth, teamwork, and school spirit.

The Glenmore team took part in two events, Alpine and Skier Cross, with several other events on offer it was an awesome week. For many, it was their first experience racing on snow, and the improvement across the week was fantastic to watch. Each day brought new confidence and stronger performances as Adelaide and Tilly improved and supported one another from the sidelines. By the end of the week, GRPS had not only achieved some great results but also built memories that will last a lifetime.

We’re already looking ahead to next year’s Interschools races, which will take place at Perisher 14-17 July 2026 — and we’d love to see even more Glenmore Road students involved! The school’s snowsports program welcomes beginners through to experienced skiers and snowboarders. If your child is interested in joining the team for 2026, keep an eye out for information next year, or contact Renata Das (1P parent).
