Dear Mums, Dads, Carers and Colleagues

Subscribe to our newsletter

We are just six weeks into the school year and already the achievements of students, staff and P&C are growing.  I am extremely proud of the work and achievements of all of these people.  The newsletter will mention just some of the things that are happening at Coomera Rivers but what you don't always see is the dedication and expertise of the people making them happen.  Read through the newsletter to gain a sense of what is happening.  We really are here for learning.

Car park

Please be deliberately patient and courteous in and around the school car park.  If everyone can do this then the safety and well-being of our children and families is optimised.  Park your vehicles properly in the car spaces.  Wait in line.  Join the traffic queue from the back.  The students and I appreciate it greatly when you do all these things well.

New after-school programs will appeal to the digital generation

There are two very exciting, after-school programs being offered to students in Years 3-6 next term.  The details about these activities are later in the newsletter but get in early as places are limited.
