Big welcome back to everyone for 2019. I hope everyone had a thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing holiday.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to ensure our Year 6 last year was farewelled in fine style.

Special welcome to our Kindy 2019 kids who are currently undertaking their Best Start program and will all start their first full day of school together next Monday 4th February.

All students have settled in well to their classes today and it’s great to see them embracing change and displaying resilience.

Next Thursday our Valley of Small schools (VOSS) swimming carnival is scheduled to be held at Mullumbimby Petria Thomas Swimming pool. All students turning 8 years or older in 2019 will attend. Further details and permission note will be sent home when further information is available. All parents most welcome to come along and support our Coorabell kids.

Looking forward to another enjoyable and productive 2019 for all our wonderful Coorabell school community and thank you for your ongoing support.

Many thanks - Geoff Coghlan

PS. We will continue to support our sister school, Mahera Academy, in 2019. See newsletter attached.

SCHOOL OFFICE INFORMATION

The school office is open for student/parent assistance from 8.45am till 3.15pm every day. If you need assistance outside of these times

please make prior arrangements.

You can purchase uniforms at any time during office hours however it would be helpful if this could be done on a Tuesday & Wednesday morning when both Jenny & Karen are in the office. We understand this time slot is not always

possible for every family.

If there is a change to your child’s routine please ensure a note is forwarded on the day. Phone calls on the day should be a last resort as office staff may not be able to answer the phone whilst

attending to children’s immediate needs.

Please remember that children’s permission notes/money should be sent with your child and placed in their class notes/money box each

morning not to the school office.

To avoid any last minute rush, it is extremely important to ensure permission notes are sent in before excursions and not on the day of excursions. Remember on-line payments are

available. Our Year 6 boys start High School together
