We respectfully acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands on which we walk, live and learn, the Bullongin & Kombumerri people. We pay our deepest respects to Elders resting in the Dreamtime and to the Elders of today, who will continue to care, protect and nurture the Country that we gather on to learn and connect. We feel both privileged, and grateful to now be sharing and caring for the country on which we are living and learning.

Events, dates and times may change.  Please check the school calendar regularly to keep updated.

Term 4

Dear mums, dads, carers and colleagues

I hope that everyone is feeling revitalised from the spring vacation and is ready for a busy term ahead.  A quick look at the school calendar will show you how busy things will be across the final 45 days of this term.  The calendar is not yet complete as we are still making final plans for some of the annual activities.  

Key events include:

• Book Week dress up day (17 October)
• Day for Daniel (Red day) (31 October)
• Cultural Unity celebration (7 November)

Global innovators day

Year 6 students very much enjoyed their Global Innovators Day today as they began their collaborative work to overcome one of the world's toughest challenges.

Book lists for 2026

We will be sending home the 2026 book lists next Friday.  Our P&C has contributed greatly to help our students and their families by providing the majority of the stationery requirements, meaning families essentially need to provide the books.  This contribution is roughly $45 000.   They have also sought a reliable provider for families who might like to order the remaining items through them.  

Kind regards

Vic

Friday 7 November

We are encouraging all students and staff to don their cultural, traditional, or national attire, showcase national colours, or proudly represent their favourite national sports teams. So on Friday 7 November, we will come together to honour and celebrate the rich tapestry of backgrounds that make our school community so vibrant and unique.  

Do you have a school-aged child ready to start their exciting learning journey, or know a family who does? We’d love to welcome them to Coomera Rivers!

Enrolling early helps us prepare for a smooth and positive start to school life, ensuring every child feels supported from day one.

Please contact our Enrolment Officer, Kylie Finch, kfinc0@eq.edu.au for more details on the process.

As we start preparing for the 2026 school year, it is very important that we know if any students will not be returning to Coomera Rivers. This information plays a vital role in helping us plan class structures, allocate staffing, and ensure the very best start for all students.

If your child will not be returning in 2026, please contact our Enrolment Officer Kylie Finch, kfinc0@eq.edu.au, as soon as possible. Your support in keeping us informed is greatly appreciated.

Our uniform provider, The School Locker, has advised that there will be a uniform price increase effective from 1 October this year.

They have shared that these increases are unavoidable and are due to rising operational costs.

If your family is in need of any new uniforms, you may wish to make your purchases before this date to take advantage of current pricing.
