QUOTE OF THE WEEK‘Follow the call of the Disco ball’

Unknown

Huge congratulations to our 24 representatives at the Mullumbimby Netball Gala day last Friday. Mrs Edwards has told me that the level of enthusiasm, spirit, peer support and sportsmanship was incredibly high even for Coorabell’s standards. Big thank you to Mrs Edwards for training the kids during her lunch breaks and for entering our school in such a successful and beneficial sports day. See photos attached.

Congratulations and best of luck to Alessia, Mia and Jethro who will be representing their school and combined district in the Far North Coast Cross Country this Friday at North Byron parklands.

Last Thursday the convenor of the Far North Coast Dance Festival visited Coorabell to check out a full dress rehearsal of our Class 2/3 dance item. Mrs Edwards reported that the convenor was particularly impressed by the children’s enthusiasm and skill. Great job Class 2/3! A big thank you to Mrs Edwards and Mrs Ritchie for putting in so much valuable time and effort in preparation for this memorable event to be held on June the 14th at the Gold Coast Arts Centre. See photo attached.

On Thursday June the 7th Coorabell’s boy and girl soccer teams will be participating in the PSSA State knockout competition. In Round 1 both teams will be playing Mullumbimby Public School with the winners of this game advancing

Mia and Jethro off to Far North Coast Cross Country (Alessia absent)

to Round 2 where they will face the winner of Ocean Shores and Brunswick on the same day. Huge thank you to James (Edie’s dad) who will be preparing and coaching the girl’s team and Jeremy (Jesua and Solara’s dad) who will be working with the boys. Trials for selection in both these teams will take place this week. All most welcome to come down to Pine Avenue Soccer fields in Mullumbimby to support our kids on the day.

Stukulele and I have been discussing the viability of one extra ukulele class each week. This class will target the children who require extension and are highly motivated to practice ukulele in their own recreational time. This additional class will take place from 12.40 till 1.10pm each Friday. Children who wish to be considered for this extension class can see me.

Welcome back to Mrs Rowthorne! Her onesies were very excited to see her this morning. Big thank you to Mrs Craigie and Mrs White for doing a fantastic job in Lee’s absence. Mrs Rowthorne’s classroom was painted over the weekend and Mrs van Kempen’s class finally got their new roof.

Please support me in reminding the children about appropriate behaviour on the buses as we all want the children to be safe and ensure that the bus drivers are able to watch the road rather than be looking in their internal rear view mirror.

As part of the STEM unit on Habitat/Shelters, Kindergarten, Year 1 and Class 2/3 will be visiting Dorroughby Environmental centre tomorrow.

Good luck to the 24 students sitting the science component of ICAS this Thursday.

Final preparations are being made for our school Rainbow Cosmos Disco this Friday. Don’t forget to pre-purchase your tickets – see information attached.

Huge thank you once again to Susan and Sybil (Reggie’s mums) for whipping up another fantastic culinary delight last Friday.

Many thanks

Geoff
