Dear mums, dads, carers and colleagues

Welcome back to everyone in our school community.  I hope that you all were able to enjoy the September vacation period and perhaps for some, relish a trip away.  

Term 4 is ALWAYS really busy as we close the school year and simultaneously prepare for the next one.  Please keep an eye on the school calendar and watch for the coming events.  Unfortunately some details do change and we will do our best to keep everyone informed of these.

Key events in the coming few weeks include:

• Book Week dress up day
• Free dress day (Red day - Day for Daniel)
• Spooky Disco

Looking towards 2024

We are beginning to organise for our 2024 school year.    

Leaving us:  If your children are not returning to Coomera Rivers in 2024 (not the current Year 6 students), please email Kylie Finch at kfinc0@eq.edu.au to let us record this.

Joining us:  We are still taking Prep enrolments for 2024 so if you are looking to enrol for 2024 please email Kylie Finch at kfinc0@eq.edu.au 

Good luck

Good luck to our Year 5 and 6 public speaking teams next Tuesday evening when they compete at the AB Patterson College competition.  We have been practising our 4 and 5 minute speeches across the past few weeks and we are nervously looking forward to presenting and representing the school.

 I also hope that our Year 3 classes enjoy their excursion next week.

Kind regards

Vic

In Term 4, our Environmental Warriors are encouraging students and staff to bring a Waste Free (plastic free) lunch to school.  Students who have a waste free lunch on Wednesday's will have their name placed into a draw for a prize. 

On the last Friday of October each year, our school honours the memory of Daniel Morcombe with a free dress day (Red theme).  Our Student Council asks for a gold coin donation from everyone which is passed on to the Daniel Morcombe Foundation.  This year's Day for Daniel is Friday 27 October.  We are asking all stduents, teachers and parents to join us.

If, for any reason at all, you would like to attend the Spooky Disco but can NOT meet the payment deadline, please email the P&C BEFORE the deadline and we will be able to assist.           

Unfortunately, once the deadline has passed no further tickets will be available.

PLEASE NOTE - Please take special notice of the information, on the flyer, around senior students NOT to be at junior disco and junior students NOT to be at the senior disco as well as the requirements for signing in and collecting students as, refusal on the night of the disco, may offend.     

Ticket price is $10 and includes entry, sausage sizzle and a drink.  There will be a range of other food available to purchase (with cash) on the night. We will also have a photo both available.       

If you would like more information please contact the P&C.

It is with great excitement that we open the orders for our 2024 seniors shirts.

Our Year 5 students have been involved in a design development process that culminated in six designs being presented to the cohort. Every Year 5 student was then able to vote on their favourite with the design with the most votes becoming our 2024 senior shirt design.

An image of the finalised design for 2024 can be found below.
