Dear mums, dads, carers and colleagues

A wet end to what has been a brilliant week at school.  

I was privileged to spend time in classrooms this week watching some incredible teaching of writing.  At Coomera Rivers, our teachers spend time each week watching other teachers at work - sharing their expertise - as we aim to create an expert teaching team.  Congratulations to Ms McNamara, Mrs Worland, Miss Wolbers and Mrs Hardwick for sharing their incredible skills.

Young writers excel

This week, Emma, Isobel and Scarlett were selected to attend the Jacobs Well EEC Year 6 Writers’ Workshop for 2020. The girls were selected for their writing ability, joining others from various primary schools in our region. Their flair for writing was enhanced with new knowledge and skills gained through the three day, intensive workshop with well known author Anita Bell. We are all excited to see the girls' creative master pieces published in a few weeks time.

Paw-some Poppi

Yes you are seeing correctly.  Poppi, our very own Story Dog is here. A very big thank you to Mrs Pinnington and the Animal Welfare League for getting Poppi trained, checked and approved to become our story dog.

The first session was fantastic. The kids were so gentle and kind to Poppi and loved having her listen to them read. She sat and listened and then wondered where they were going at changeover time.
