"The caring and nurturing ground work that was put in place for me at CPS not only gave me both a broad knowledge base, but also enabled my confidence so I could reach a potential I would not have achieved previously. I can only thank you all for the tremendous work you did in enabling me to become a successful learner, which is something I can now appreciate. I am now using the foundation blocks and skills you all taught me to hopefully reach my full potential, and become a competent leader..” — a former student reflecting on their time at Carlingford Public School
