Week 9 Term 3, 10th September 2014 Dear Parents, Sue Mackay Principal

Quote for the Week:

Week 9 Term 3, 14th September 2016 Dear Parents,

The Roads and Maritime Services have been investigating a Coffs Harbour Bypass since 2001. Now fifteen years later,

with the preferred bypass route confirmed and much of the Pacific Highway upgrade completed, it is our turn.

Many of our community will have taken the opportunity to attend one of the consultation meetings which have occurred

over the last couple of weeks, with regards to the Coffs Harbour Bypass Planning. On Monday the R.M.S. were in

attendance at the school, showing detailed plans of the highway proposed upgrade and the impact upon Kororo Public

School. As you might well imagine, as this section of the highway is so narrow, the highway and infrastructure changes

have the potential to be quite significant for the Kororo School community and the Korora community in general.

At the P & C meeting on Monday evening, the plans will be on display and information about the consultation will be

discussed. The plans will also be on display at the school hall from Friday of this week for your perusal. The R.M.S. are

genuinely seeking opinions and feedback from our community. There are a couple of ways that this can be done.

Send in your written feedback to the school office in a clearly marked envelope, the information will be collated at

the school end and forward to the R.M.S.

Email your feedback directly to the highway bypass consultation team at CoffsHarbourBypass@rms.nsw.gov.au

It is vitally important for our school that our voices and ideas are heard as the long

term impact for Kororo Public School will be significant. Please come and have a look at the

plans and see what you think. Put your ideas in writing and submit them using one of the

two methods above. The consultation period for the school will close on October 26th 2016.

Please make your opinions and ideas known by responding to the consultation process.

Have a fabulous week,

Sue Mackay

Principal

Years 3 & 4 Excursions to Yarrahapinni and Port Macquarie

Last week, Year 3 and 4 had a great time on their excursions to Yarrahapinni and Port Macquarie. Year 3 children enjoyed a rope challenge course that tested their ability to work as a team and were rewarded for their success with some fun down a fast, windy, waterslide.

A highlight for Year 4 was visiting Timbertown, where they went gold panning and watched a bullock show. They also loved exploring the Billabong Park Zoo. A special thanks to our excursion coordinators Mrs White and Mrs Hartmann for all their hard work in organising the excursions and to all of the other teachers and SLSOs who assisted.

KINDERGARTEN BUTTERFLY HOUSE EXCURSION

Last Tuesday Kindergarten went to the Butterfly House as part of their Growing and Changing unit. The children had a wonderful time finding their way through the maze, gardening, learning about the life cycle of a butterfly and looking at the beautiful butterflies.

A huge thank you to our sponsors. They support us, please support them.
