REACH Program - Coomera Rivers students shine on stage

For a number of days throughout the year, Year 5 students who show an aptitude in the Performing Arts area, were invited to participate in a short extension program with Pimpama State Secondary College's Aspiring Performers Academy teachers. This was also an opportunity for our students to work alongside high school students and industry professionals from ROCK IT production.  As a culmination of the program, students performed at the college's Arts Gala evening where they were also able to see the talent and opportunities that exist within the school.  Our students really shone onstage and did exceptionally well given they only had one day out of each term to learn their dance.  Congratulations to all our performers and a massive thank you to Pimpama SSC for providing our students with this opportunity.

Pride

Congratulations to Caleb for representing the south Queensland Māori League football club when he played in the league carnival last weekend.  In the very wet conditions he scored a try and performed the Haka on a number of occasions.  His mum and dad are so proud of him, and loved seeing him embrace some of his culture.

Share the Dignity

Throughout this semester, our Year 5 students have been collecting essential sanitary products to donate to the 'Share the Dignity' organisation.  This charity is committed to helping vulnerable women in our community who may be homeless, fleeing domestic violence situations or just doing it tough. Our Year 5's are now looking to 'bag' the donations so they can complete their 'It's in the bag drive'.  Can you help?  All donations can be handed in at the office where it will then be passed on to the Year 5 team. 

Eureka! Year 5 join the Gold Rush!

Our Year 5's stepped back in time to 1854, the time of the Australian Gold Rush.  Set in thick bushland students experienced what life was like in a gold field township. Businesses were active, licences were bought, and gold was sought and exchanged. Students were off digging for alluvial gold, building tents, baking damper and haggling for goods. The bakers were busy kneading the dough for a delicious taste of damper and syrup. The day ended with everyone searching for gold ‘Eureka’! Then taking their findings back to town to haggle with the Assayers and Claims Officers. Great teamwork and perseverance were shown throughout the many activities in both excursions including sand races, saving your buddy, tent building and gold panning. Our students returned to school clearly exhausted but also remarking on what a great day they had.  What's even more impressive is that the company at Eureka felt compelled to ring our school the next day to congratulate our students on their exemplary behaviour and let us know what a pleasure they were to work with.  Great job everyone!
