Dear mums, dads, carers and colleagues

Term 3 is steaming ahead and the learning and opportunities at Coomera Rivers continue to be impressive.  Our chess teams did very well at the regional tournament on Wednesday and our Year 5&6 Matheltics Live challenge was run and won.  And finally, the hottest three spots on any team were finalised.  The eSports Mario Cart Tournament is being held next Friday and the competition for the team was red hot!  All of these stories are included in this issue.  

Our annual Prep Pirate Day to celebrate Father's Day was a great success on Friday.  Well done to the Prep team who organised this so well.  It was a wonderful morning.

Last week I mentioned that the Australian Council of Educational Leaders had announced that Mrs Pinnington was awarded the 2019 Keith Tronc Awards for outstanding teacher leadership.  It was lovely to hear the congratulations she received from colleagues and students this week.  She is a very deserving winner.   

Continuing the theme of recognition, I was informed this week that two of our teachers were shortlisted for the Queensland College of Teachers annual awards called TeachX.  Congratulations to:

• Nikki Muller
• Caitlyn King

I am delighted that they have been recognised for both their commitment and teaching talent.  Well done ladies.

And finally this week, I hope all of our awesome dads and granddads have a fantastic Father's Day on Sunday.

Kind regards

Vic
