To celebrate our 25^th anniversary we have worked with Hive Mind artist Amelia Kalifa to create a collaborative exhibition that tells the stories of what makes our school so special. Contributing artists are:

• Yvonne Rinaldi (Founder and School Principal)
• Shanan Brandis (Board Representative)
• Chelsea Brookfield (P&F Representative)
• Jon Vieira (Teaching Representative)
• Andrew Powell MP (Community Representative)
• Odette Pryor (Alumna of CMS)
• Steph McGrath (Student Representative)
• Jemayne Nurse (Student Representative)

The exhibition was installed in the Library during July 2023 and later will be placed permanently in the Admin Building. A digital version of the CMS25 exhibition is available right here! Scroll down to view the different works telling diverse stories about what makes our school so special. The stories include thoughts on nurturing connections made at CMS, the special environment and the meaningful experiences which our CMS community has co-created over the last 25 years.

Love, respect, friendship, care and collaboration are the foundation of CMS and what keeps the candles burning bright.

The lush natural environment, peaceful surrounds, thoughtful buildings and long history of bamboo inspire learning and respect.

Meaningful lived experiences, interesting physical objects, creativity and choice are the ingredients for memories to last a lifetime.
