PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

I hope everyone enjoyed the extra day to have a break over the long weekend.

The athletics carnival is on this Friday. Students have been participating in trials in discus, shot-put and long jump for the 8-13 year old heats. High jump trials will be conducted on Thursday this week, when Mr Eason returns. The athletics carnival is always a fantastic day for the whole school. The junior school participate in a morning filled with novelty events and have a great time in activities such as sack races, egg and spoon, mini golf putting, parachute and skipping plus more. It is a day filled with Coorabell spirit and a day not to be missed. The canteen will be run by our P&C, so if you’re around supporting your children, it would be great if you could pop by the canteen to lend a hand.

Tomorrow Coorabell has 2 teams (boys & girls) in the PSSA soccer GALA day. Mr Eason will be taking the students for a day of knock out games at Schultz Oval in Bangalow. A big thank you goes to James Mayson for giving up his time to coach the students over the past weeks. I watched the students for a little while last Friday and the students gained some excellent tips from James. All the best to the Coorabell soccer teams.

On Monday and Tuesday of next week, all students will be participating in Robotics workshops. We enjoyed this activity the year before last, and are looking forward to the program again. Robotics is linked to Science and Technology learning.

After school care numbers are low and are in need of more students on Mondays, Tuesdays Thursdays and Fridays. The service is in a trial period and will only continue if the support and numbers are viable.

The numbers are as follows:

Mon Tues Wed Thurs Friday3 3 11-13 3 3

If you have thought about after school care please call the school and we can send home an application form with your child. It would be a shame to lose the service after working so hard to get it.

Everyone had an enjoyable session learning about Indonesian culture on Wednesday last week. The Gamalan and martial arts workshops were terrific. See photos attached.

A big shout out and thank you goes out to our office administration staff Jenny and Karen for keeping the machine so well oiled. These wonderful ladies work tirelessly to keep the running of our school so efficient. Between attending to children’s needs, answering phones, processing money and notes, financial management, attending to teachers and parent requests, they are always warm & welcoming. So, from the bottom of our hearts we say thank you. Also thanks to Alan and Angela for keeping our school looking spic and span. You are a big part of our school community and it doesn’t go unnoticed, thank you for your contribution to our school.

Thank you to Ellie for beautiful pasta for lunches on Friday.

Many thanks

Lisa van Kempen

NO LUNCH ORDERS THIS WEEK

The Wild Weather By Marley Jones Year 2

I was shivering. It was basically a lake outside. I heard the cracking of branches but I was not scared. It was exciting.

My sister was going to Clunes with my Mum. On the way there they heard a rumbling noise. The car broke down. They had a flat tyre. My Dad looked at the tyre and it looked like someone cut it with a knife. Luckily my Dad was able to change the tyre.

The next day we went to pick up the car. It worked so we drove it back down to my house. We went around Lismore to look at the floods. I mean we were going to Lismore but we only made it to Corndale. There was a giant flood. Our next door neighbours car was in it. You could only see a tiny bit of the car. I went in the flood with my shoes on. I barely went in but the flood went just over my shoes.

SRC FUNDRAISERThe SRC are conducting a fundraiser for our neighbours in Fiji. After the recent catastrophic cyclones much money was pledged but a lot of it never came to fruition. Fiji still needs our help and Coorabell students are ready to do what they can. The students are manning a stall every morning where children and community members can have a guess at trying to work out which of 11 baby photos belong to which staff member. A fun hamper for kids is the prize and all the money raised will go to Fiji. It costs a gold coin donation or more if you wish to donate more.
