• Volunteer's afternoon tea
• Writer's Camp
• Pizza Pizzazz (our Semester 1 music concert)
• Athletics trials (across 2 days)
• Regional school's NAIDOC Awards
• Grandparent's Day
• The Great Debate
• Inter-school sport
• And more. 

Please check the galleries for each of these events.

National recognition for Coomera Rivers

Coomera Rivers has been recognised as a finalist in two categories of the Australian Education Awards this year.  I am delighted that our teachers and school are being recognised alongside some of the most prestigious schools from across Australia.  In some instances, we are the only primary school in the category.  This is a truly impressive achievement and I am so proud of the school staff.  This follows on from 2018 where we received our first 2 finalist nominations and we actually came second in one of the categories.  Adding a perspective to this achievement is that there are nearly ten thousand schools in Australia.

Week 10

The final week of Term 2 is looking very busy too.  Our celebration assemblies, inter-school sport, report cards, chess finals, STEM Olympiad, Sailing, NAIDOC Day celebrations, Regional band camp and Cutting Edge Kids Conference are all planned out and ready.  I know that everyone will represent our school brilliantly well.

Report Cards

Reports will be available to parents from Tuesday through QParents.

Report cards will be emailed home to families on Wednesday.  If yours do not arrive, please check spam folders as sometimes they can end up there due to the mass generation of reports and your computer protecting you.  If you do not receive the report by Wednesday night at 6:00pm, please email the school and we will send you a copy directly.  

Please read through the report with your children.  There should never be any nasty surprises as teachers contact families to discuss progress regularly.  If your child receives a C grade then this is exactly where the Australian Curriculum wants them to be. Anything higher is an even stronger achievement and is hard to acquire.  

Teachers spend many hours producing reports for the coaches, deputies and me to proof read.  Errors will still sneak through - despite our best efforts.  If there is a typing error on your child's report, please contact the school and we will have it amended and returned to you within 24 hours.  

Have a great week

Kind regards
