Dear mums, dads, carers and colleagues

Cultural Unity Day 2024

I was delighetd to celebrate our first ever Cultural Unity Day today at school.  Our busy calendar made it impossible to celebrate Harmony Day this year so we planned another opprtunity.  The children were abuzz with excitement all day.  The teachers did an amazing job of promoting the event and teaching our children about the importance of Celebrating People's Differences at our school and in our community.  Thank you to each of them for their contributions.

I also extend my sincere appreciation to the parents who made prepared national dress and creative ideas.  It really makes a difference when we celebrate and share together.

After school story time is at Coomera Rivers

Are you looking for a fun and engaging activity for your child after school? Then look no further!  We are excited to announce that our school library will now be open every Tuesday - Friday from 2:30pm to 3:00pm for After school story time.

Parents, carers and children of all ages are welcome to attend and immerse themselves in the magical world of books.

Story time sessions are not only a great way to spark your child's imagination and love for reading, but also provide valuable opportunities for social interaction and community building. Plus, it's the perfect way to unwind and relax after a busy day at school while the traffic rush passes.

Don't miss out on the fun!  Join us for After-School Story time in the library. We can't wait to see you there!

For more information, please email Di Costello

Happy Reading!

Inter-school sport resumes

Our sports program resumes next week for players in our school teams.  We will be competing (think Fun - Fitness - Friendship) against students from Pimpama Junior, Pimpama State, Gainsborough, Coomera, Coomera Springs and Picnic Creek schools.  

It is a requirement at our school that all players attend and participate in the complete and correct uniform for their sport.  We have explained this to players and provided families with the necessary items.  Correct footwear, socks, hats and school tracksuits (if it is cool) are essential.  Students in incorrect uniform will not be able to attend.  

Thank you to the many coaches who continue to contribute hours of training and preparation for our players.

Parents are very welcome to attend and cheer our teams, but please remember that this is a school event.  Unfortunately, any inappropriate parent or family behaviour will see their children removed from teams for the remainder of the sports season.  

Coffee van sales are booming

The coffee van at school is doing a roaring morning trade, so much so that children are missing the start of the school day.  As a result, we have needed to restrict student access to the van to include adults only.  Parents are still welcome to purchase for their children but children are not allowed to buy from the van unless their parent is with them.  

Brilliant young buskers

Thank you to the talented musicians who entertained an appreciative audience prior to the close of school each afternoon this week.  I was delighted with the talent on display and could see the enjoyment and sense of achievement on the faces of the students.  Well done to our teachers on their terrific preparation.

District cross-country

Well done to the Coomera Rivers team on their participation at the district cross-country this week.  It was a great day.  Our runners all represented our school brilliantly well.   Special congratulations to Flynn, Paxton, Honor and Zara who qualified for the Broadwater District team and will be competing in the South Coast cross-country event in the coming weeks.

And good luck to our Kokoda squad who are training at Nerang early tomorrow morning.  Let's hope for good weather.

Have a lovely long weekend.

Kind regards
